In the average course of events, every day about 50-100 hairs fall out of our heads. We can detect whether hair loss seems unusually high. Some of the signs include:
- Noticeable Patches of Thin or Missing Hair
- The Hair Part Gets Wider
- Smaller, Thinner Ponytails
- Seeing Hair Break Off
- Observable Hair Fallout: Brush, Floor, Shower, Pillows
7 Steps to Stop Thinning Hair After 50:
Step 1: Hair Dye and Hair Loss
Choose fewer hair coloring appointments. Frequent dyeing can weaken hair strands, contributing to hair loss.
Step 2: Vitamins for Hair Loss
Using the right vitamins consistently for a minimum of 90 days can be effective in reducing hair loss. Consider B complex vitamins along with B-12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin D. Horsetail is also an effective supplement, as is Vegamour hair serum.
Step 3: Sulfate-Free Hair Products
Try Davine's hairline for less breakage and less hair loss, as it increases the hair's moisture and makes their shampoos clean with their own olives/olive oil. A few good all-purpose Davines product lines include OI, Momo, and Love, which feature shampoos and conditioners.
Step 4: Shampoo Hair Less Often
Shampoo every 3-5 days. Be careful to dry hair carefully and gently, and reduce blow-drying times.
Step 5: Stress Management
Even in your 20s and 30s, extreme stress can increase hair fallout. Learning to manage stress and minimize it is a lifelong endeavor.
Step 6: Sleep and Hair Loss
Bodies don't function optimally on less-than-needed sleep. You need 8-9 hours of rest.
Step 7: Modify Hairstyles
Wearing your hair in tight styles like buns or complex braids can lead to traction alopecia, which can cause bald spots due to hair being pulled tightly.
Red Light Therapy Cap stimulates scalp tissues and increases oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicle. These caps have been very successful for some with severe hair loss. Growing hair and maintaining that growth requires wearing a cap daily. They are also not expensive, but it may be worth the splurge for some people.
