Hair loss is a common phenomenon among people. How to prevent hair loss? Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you the correct massage method to prevent hair loss. Let's take a look together!
The Causes of Hair Loss
1. Prolonged Illness
Hair growth requires nutrients, which are transported by blood. If a person is sick for a long time and lacks sufficient blood and nutrients, it can affect the hair and cause premature hair loss.
Therefore, we often see that after someone has a major illness, they also experience a lot of hair loss. This is the reason behind it.
2. Excessive Mental Stress
Extended periods of mental activity or severe mental stress can also affect the supply of nutrients to the hair.
In life, some people become excessively agitated, which can lead to sudden hair loss, commonly known as "ghost shaving."
3. Natural Cyclical Hair Loss
Hair has a natural cycle of growth and shedding, and physiological hair loss occurs every day.
Traditional Chinese medicine suggests paying attention to pathological causes in daily life, such as sudden hair loss due to emotions or stress, where the hair suddenly enters the telogen phase and sheds in large areas.
In this case, with correct emotional guidance, hair can resume growth in 3-5 months.
4. Trace Elements in Blood
If you experience abnormal hair loss, don't panic. Hair loss is related to nutrition, mental tension, and mental stimulation. Tomato Doctor suggests getting a blood trace elements test at the hospital.
In terms of diet, you can choose black beans, black sesame, or some hard-shell foods.
Methods to Prevent Hair Loss
1. Nutritional Supplementation
Eat more foods rich in iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamins such as A, B2, B6, C, and foods with a higher protein content, such as fish, soybeans, eggs, lean meat, etc.
Also, seaweed and shellfish rich in trace elements, spinach, asparagus, bananas, and pig liver rich in vitamins B2 and B6 are beneficial for protecting hair and delaying aging. Keeping regular bowel movements is also conducive to normal hair growth.
2. Keep Hair Clean
Choose a non-irritating shampoo for the scalp and hair. Add a few drops of vinegar or a little salt to the water when washing your hair.
The water temperature should not be too hot or too cold while washing your hair. The interval between hair washes should ideally be 2-5 days, and while washing, try to rub and massage the scalp.
3. Scalp Massage
Before going to bed and after waking up, insert the ten fingers of both hands into the hair and rub the scalp from the forehead, over the top of the head, to the back of the head for 2 to 4 minutes each time.
Regular scalp massages can improve scalp nutrition, regulate sebum secretion, promote scalp blood circulation, and enhance local metabolism.
Use a boxwood comb or a boar bristle brush to comb your hair. This can remove dandruff, increase hair luster, and promote blood circulation in the scalp.
