If you have any amount of hair loss, you are likely to be worried about why and how to overcome it. Hair loss can be worrisome for many reasons. Not only can it mean a wide range of health problems may be occurring, but it is also such an important component of self-esteem. If you have any type of hair loss, it’s important to pay close attention to what’s happening. Though most people shed as much as 100 strands of hair a day – and that’s natural and normal – anything that seems more than that should be considered a concern.

COVID-19 led to many of us to stay at home and isolate to prevent the spread of the virus. During this time, you faced fears of many types. You worried about what would happen if you became ill. You missed your family. You worried about work and paying the bills. All of these factors build up the stress levels in your body. As that happens, hair loss or hair shedding may occur. Stress is a contributing factor when it comes to hair loss, especially in people who routinely do not have any type of problems with hair growth.

The summer heat and humidity can turn curly hair into one of the most unmanageable messes if you do not know how to properly take care of it. If you have beautiful curls, you want to look your best no matter what you are doing – from going to work to having a fun weekend on the beach. Yet, summer is not always easy on hair. You also have to figure in time in the water (whether it is the salt of the sea or the chlorine in your backyard pool). How can you maintain your curly hair this summer? Consider these tips.

Have you heard of moringa? Many people would say that they have not. It is a natural ingredient, one that is getting a lot of attention for its health benefits, specifically just how effective it has been in helping people with hair concerns. If you have been using turmeric or matcha as a way to treat your hair, you may want to stop for a bit and try moringa. It may be just what you are looking for to give your hair the look and feel that you desire. It can be a significant improvement for some people.

Can caffeine be a good thing when it comes to hair growth? When it comes to your diet, you may already know that what you eat impacts the way your hair grows. Often, this focuses on the bad. Eating the wrong foods or too few of the good foods can cause your hair to stop growing or even to thin out. Yet, when it comes to finding the right solution for your hair, you may want to think about the use of caffeine. In fact, if you are drinking coffee each day, you may be seeing some improvements in your hair growth. How does that work?

When we think of hair loss, we have to focus on the most common factors impacting hair loss. Stress may be one. A hormone imbalance could be another. Still other times, it is genetics that causes that thinning hair to happen. Yet, there are other causes, many of which we may not easily recognize. A lack of sleep can affect hair growth. For many, this is a very common problem – getting consistently good sleep. It can impact all areas of your health. But how does poor sleep lead to hair loss?

Stress is bad for hair. The more you stress, the more likely you are to have hair that comes in thin or falls out too soon. Life is full of stress. The news does not make it any easier in today’s pandemic. It is normal to have and feel stress. Yet, when you are facing it, it is also important to work on managing stress, so it does not have a harmful effect on your body (and your hair).

Improving the health of your scalp and follicles can be an excellent way to improve the rate at which your hair grows. Many men and women struggle with thinning hair due to disruptions in the natural hair growth cycle. Other times, you may have underlying health conditions that limit your ability to grow hair at a normal rate. Often, some of the best ways to improve hair growth are using essential oils. Take a look at this option to find out just how well it may work for your needs.

It may seem simple to say you have a dry scalp. It could be very obvious to you. For other people, it can be very difficult to actually notice and, not noticing it means you are likely not taking care of it. Yet, scalp health is very important in minimizing hair loss. If you have not put enough attention into caring for your hair, now is the time to consider a change. A dry scalp may be uncomfortable, but it also means your skin is not getting the moisture it needs to remain healthy. That is a problem. How do you know if you have a dry scalp?
