Hair Loss Prevention Tips
Are you suffering from dull, damaged, lifeless hair? It can be extremely frustrating. I’m sure you have tried different shampoos, conditioners, even expensive salon treatments and nothing has worked. If every day is a bad hair day here are some tips that might just change that problem for you.
There are two critical things you must do to give yourself shiny, healthy hair.
- You will need to avoid products containing toxic chemicals such as petrochemicals, alcohol, artificial fragrances as they suffocate the scalp and damage your hair even more and as a result you will experience hair loss or at least thinning hair.
- You need to nourish your hair on a cellular level.
First, take a look at the hair products you use every day. Have you ever read the label and if you have are you aware what those ingredients mean? Are there lots of hard to pronounce ingredients on the label? Most of these ingredients are synthetics and chemicals with the biggest offenders being Sodium Lauryl or Sodium Sulfate.
These ingredients are actually just cheap detergent that 
was originally produced to clean garage floors and degrease engines! The bad news is that it is also absorbed through your skin and gets into your bloodstream. The ironic thing is that they are classified as skin irritants and they have been proven to affect the nervous system and as well they are hormone disruptors! And the really bad news is that they alter the skin structure which allows for other chemicals to penetrate your skin and get into your bloodstream. The result, over time, these chemicals lead to more toxic load in the body stealing your health and energy. Remember your skin is your largest organ. One thing to remember if you wouldn’t eat it, why would you put in on your skin?
If you think that you can’t absorb these chemicals through your skin, try this test. Chop up some garlic very fine, stand on it in your bare feet and see if you can taste the garlic in your mouth. It should only take a few minutes for you to taste the garlic!
So why not start today to read the labels on your hair care products and look for ones that are natural and won’t harm your health and in the long run you will end up with a beautiful head of healthy hair!
Now, since your hair is made up of 97% protein, it is important that you eat protein to give you plenty of blood, oxygen and nutrients. There are also some key nutrients you should consider to help improve your hair.
Vitamin C
Make sure it is Calcium Ascorbate with citrus bioflavanoids and not ascorbic acid which is a cheap type of Vitamin C. You will need to take 1,000 mg a day. This will help improve your hair and will even help your skin.
Vitamin B
We all have busy and stressful lifestyles and the B vitamins can help. Taking Vitamin B will not only improve your hair, but will help with memory loss and may even prevent Alzheimers.
Vitamin A and E
These two vitamins are also important for hair health. You should take a minimum of 10,000 IU a day of a natural Vitamin A. As well, Vitmin E from d-alpha-tocopherol is another important vitamin. Take at least 800 IU a day. Not only will your hair improve but so will your skin and nails.
Minerals
Did you know that your vitamins will work better if you include minerals? They help transport the vitamins into your cells. One of the more important minerals to include is zinc.
Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
You need these essential oils otherwise your hair will be dry and dull. Omega-3 also helps prevent depression and heart disease.
MSM
This versatile nutrient is important not only for hair health but will help ease inflamed joints and give you a more youthful skin tone. Take 200 mg a day for hair health.

Following these tips you should see a marked different in a little over a month.
