How Clogged hair Follicles Can Cause Thinning Hair
You can stop your hair from thinning and going bald by knowing the reason it is happening and following some simply remedies. The following tips will help you keep what hair you have and stop the process of your hair falling out. It does not have to happen.
Let’s talk about three reasons that may be the cause of your hair loss:
Clogged hair follicles can stop the growth of new hair.
Lack of nutrients to the scalp and hair to keep it healthy in order to naturally grow.
Not enough blood flow to the scalp.
Hair follicles can become trapped preventing them to come to the surface stopping the hair from growing. This much like the way acne will form, by clogged pores that buildup with excess sebum and bacteria with no place to go. The end result will be what you see as a pimple. With you hair follicle being clogged over a period of time, your scalp will become smooth causing thinning hair or baldness.
Therefore it makes sense to do everything you can to avoid the hair follicle from becoming clogged. By finding out what is causing your follicle to clog, you will be able to avoid it, therefore counter acting those reasons.
So here are some reasons you might be experiencing clogged hair follicles.
Hormone buildup in the blood, such as testosterone, will change over to DHT and that will cause your hair follicle to clog.
Using conditioners, styling gels and shampoos that are chemically loaded will stay on the hair and scalp and at some point can get trapped.
When scalp flakiness and too much sebum mix together it creates a hard material that can buildup on the scalp and cause clogging.
The use of certain shampoos can help dissolve the buildup of DHT which will allow your pores to remain open and your hair to grow.
To help with the testosterone converting into DHT, you can take a supplement that will prevent that. Propecia is a well known prescription drug that can help by blocking the body’s conversion of testosterone to DHT. This will help in the re-growth of hair. You can find Propecia very affordable from online pharmacies.
Stop using shampoos and conditioners that contain harsh chemicals.
Be mindful of the ingredients of your shampoos and conditioners. A lot of these products contain un-natural additives, preservatives and dyes that can be harmful to your scalp and hair.
They will not only be damaging to your scalp. but can also over a period of use be damaging to your liver and other parts of your body as well.
So what you can do for healthy hair is to find shampoo and other hair products that will contain more natural ingredients, therefore be nourishing for your hair and keep it shiny and healthy.
Having excess oil or a dry scalp.
Having oily hair is attributed to the hair follicle releasing too much sebum and building up on the scalp. It then gets mixed with the chemical buildup from the shampoo, dirt and dead scalp cells. Using a natural shampoo can help to avoid this problem.
To help keep your scalp clean, try using a little jojoba oil mixed with aloe Vera. Keeping the scalp clean will open the hair follicles.
Create more blood flow to the scalp by stimulating it and increasing blood flow. This will allow the hair follicle to stay opened.
These simply little changes can be quite effective to keep your hair healthy and stop from thinning or balding.
