Treatments for Thinning Hair

There’s nothing worse than finding out that your hair is thinning. By the age of 50, most women complain of experiencing some amount of hair loss, as the density of the individual hair strands become finer. Don’t worry about thinning hair though; there are plenty of ways to combat hair loss!

Simple Solutions to Reverse Hair Loss

Adjust your diet—Your hair is made of protein, so if you’re not getting enough protein, you may want to adjust your diet to amp up your protein intake. Your hair can also benefit from iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, so make sure to get plenty of these
Reduce the heat on your hair—If you style your hair often, try cutting back on the amount of heat you apply to your hair. Reducing the use of hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons can save your hair from hair loss!
Take a moment to breathe—Stress can halt hair growth, so if you’re under a lot of stress, make sure to take a moment for yourself and relax. Your hair should grow back naturally after you relieve yourself of whatever challenge you are facing.
Talk to your doctor—Hair loss may be a sign of something else that is going on with your body. Whether it’s a vitamin deficiency or hormone irregularities, your doctor can help you figure out what’s wrong.
Try PRP therapy—PRP therapy, one of the newest procedures to treat hair loss, involves the withdrawal of blood so that it can be processed and enriched. By enriching the blood so that only platelet-rich plasma (PRP) remains and injecting it into the scalp, the protein that stimulates hair growth will be able to work its magic. This treatment can reverse hair loss and will leave you with fuller, thicker hair!
