Hair care is important in any season. A dermatologist shared secrets for hair growth and stated that one simple thing can help make strands thicker, according to American dermatologist Neera Nathan.
What you should do
The doctor advised massaging the scalp for four minutes a day to promote thicker hair.
Scalp massage increases blood flow to the follicles and can also stretch the cells of the hair follicles, stimulating them to produce thicker and stronger hair.
Additionally, the dermatologist recommended choosing a shampoo that is suitable for your hair type. It’s worth looking for a product with ketoconazole, which studies have shown helps combat hair loss.
Neera also suggested incorporating a laser comb into your routine twice a week, if possible, to stimulate the growth of new hair.
Causes of severe hair loss
Many people experience a sudden decrease in hair volume, which can occur a few months after a physical or emotional shock. This type of hair loss is temporary.
Additionally, hairstyles that pull on your hair, such as braids and dreadlocks, can lead to excessive hair loss. Chemical relaxers and excessive dyeing with low-quality dyes are also harmful to hair.
Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid diseases can cause permanent or temporary hair loss.
An iron deficiency can also lead to hair loss, as it reduces the level of hemoglobin that transports oxygen to all the cells in the body. As a result, hair follicles become very weak.
