Stop Hair Loss and Excessive Falling Hair

While it is generally believed that a normal person sheds 50 – 100 strands a day, experts say the whole body sheds over 200 strands per day including hair from every part of a person’s body. Shedding hair is actually a natural process. In order to stop hair loss, our goal then is not to actually stop hair from falling but to keep our scalp healthy enough such that hair falling out is immediately replaced by healthy hair underneath.

Truth or Myth: One of my parents is bald so I’m sure to become bald when I get older.

Whereas you may be genetically predisposed to baldness due to your inherited genes, it doesn’t mean that you will surely be bald one day. How many people do you know are genetically predisposed to be fat but have made a constant effort to keep fit and are able to maintain their figure throughout the years? The same goes for people who have folks with receding hairline or bald. You don’t need to be like your parents if you make a constant effort to keep your scalp and hair in shape.  You will be able to enjoy the perks of having a full head of hair for as long as you follow and adhere to a good hair maintenance regimen as the one advised all throughout this website.

Still, other people think that cutting their hair short or shaving it will somehow slow down the process of hair loss or stop hair loss totally. This is a common mistake and I would really not recommend this to anyone experiencing excessive hair loss. This will actually predispose that individual to giving lesser attention and maintenance to his/her hair and scalp which it actually badly needs.

Stopping hair loss need not be an expensive and time consuming ordeal. In most cases, even if you have seen a prominent receding hair line already, you can still restore it back to some point where you can grow back some or most of your mane. You will need to invest some time though. If you are willing to do this, you’ve already won half the battle to stop hair loss.
