Prevent Hair Loss by Improving Scalp Health

If you are struggling with hair loss, the stem of your problem might just be the health of your scalp. An unhealthy scalp is one of the leading causes of hair loss.

Every man’s scalp contains approximately 100,000 hair follicles. In addition to growing hair, every follicle is responsible for producing sebum, an oil that naturally lubricates your skin and hair. Your scalp has its own microbiome that, when disrupted, can result in all sorts of unwanted issues like seborrheic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis. 

When afflicted with these issues, it is common for your scalp to recline in health and for you to begin to experience hair loss.

Today, Particle will be explaining how you can improve your scalp health to prevent hair loss.

Causes of Hair Loss

While today we will be focusing on unhealthy scalp-induced hair loss, there are some other potential causes for your thinning hair.

The first is genetics. Genetic factors may be the reason for your loss of hair. In men, this is most commonly referred to as male pattern baldness. You can inherit hair loss from either parent. You can begin to lose hair as early as your 20s, but typically hair will begin to thin in a man’s 40s or 50s. Hair loss will first be visible around the crown and temple area.

The second is stress. When you consistently experience a high increase in stress or face a traumatic situation that causes a peak in your stress levels, one of the ways that your body can respond is by shifting your hair from its growing phase to its shedding phase. This, in turn, may explain your sudden loss of hair.

The third is diet. An unhealthy diet, or even one lacking in the right vitamins and nutrients, can contribute to harming your hair’s health. If you are not getting the necessary nutrition such as zinc, iron, and vitamin D, your hair will not grow. In severe cases, your hair may become brittle or prone to breakage. All of this may result in hair loss.

The fourth is health conditions. Certain health conditions can be responsible for inducing hair loss. Some of the most common include thyroid conditions and alopecia. Any sort of hormonal change may impact your hair growth. This means that, even if your health condition does not affect your hair, the medication you take for it might.

The fifth is the environment. Your environment may negatively influence your hair and, in turn, cause hair loss. For example, pollutants in the air or hard water from your shower might impact the quality of your hair. Unprotected exposure to the sun is another common cause of hair loss.

An Unhealthy Scalp

All of these causes can be connected to your scalp’s health. Identifying whether you have an unhealthy scalp is simple. 

The symptoms are easy to determine. In addition to your hair loss, your scalp is likely to show signs of inflammation. This can include redness, flakiness, itchiness, and irritation.

Bumps, cysts, scabs, and acne may also appear on your scalp. This will signal to you that your scalp needs some extra TLC. 

Thankfully, there are several ways for you to improve the health of your scalp.

Washing

Improving how you wash your hair can make a major difference in preventing hair loss.

Overwashing can cause issues for your scalp. We often believe that to maintain a healthy head of hair; we must remove any and all obvious oils. However, there is a difference between greasy-looking hair and hair enriched by natural oils.

The natural oils produced by your hair follicles are necessary for maintaining your scalp and hair’s health. You will strip these critical oils from your hair if you wash your hair too excessively.

You can avoid this by washing your hair less often. Simply increase the amount of time between washes and limit the number of times you wash your hair to about three or four times a week.

When washing your hair, make sure that you are using beneficial products for your scalp and hair. Avoid using products that contain sulfates that can strip away oils in your hair, remove the moisture, and leave your scalp dry and irritated. Stay away from harsh chemicals that might damage your hair and worsen your hair loss.

Remember to shampoo your scalp gently once you have found safe and effective products to use. Instead of rubbing or scrubbing, massage the shampoo into your scalp.

Restoration

On the topic of beneficial products, you should consider using a treatment that can restore your hair back to health, providing you with a fresh start.

We suggest using Particle Hair Revival Kit. This kit is designed for men of all ages who are experiencing hair thinning or loss at any stage. The kit contains a Hair & Scalp Cream and a Scalp Massager. These products are designed to help men struggling with hair loss restore their thick, young, and healthy hair. 

The Scalp Massager is made to apply the cream to allow for better absorption and the stimulation of blood circulation. The Hair & Scalp Cream is specifically intended to energize the scalp, stimulate hair growth, and toughen your hair follicles. 

This is made possible by the product’s potent fusion of nine premium ingredients:

You should use a Particle Hair Revival Kit once every three days. Before using the kit, you should wash your hair. Then you can apply the cream on either dry or damp hair, so long as it is clean. Use a marble-sized amount of cream onto your fingers and apply it over your scalp. Use the massager to rub the cream in circular motions into your scalp. Do this for about 30-60 seconds.

You should begin to notice a difference in hair thickness with consistent use for two to four weeks.

Diet

Improving your diet in a way that supports your hair’s health can assist with strengthening your scalp, thickening your hair, and reducing hair loss.

One of the most convenient ways to do this is to consume more antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that can help protect your cells from free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules known for damaging cells, particularly skin cells like the ones on your scalp.

Foods rich in antioxidants include:

• Broccoli
• Spinach
• Carrots
• Potatoes
• Kale
• Avocado
• Squash
• Cabbage

Another easy way to improve your diet is to consume more omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that are capable of improving your overall health but are also known for improving hair growth, density, and thickness.

Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include:

• Halibut
• Oysters
• Salmon
• Anchovies
• Walnuts
• Flaxseed Oil
• Shrimp
• Chia Seeds

You should also consider monitoring your vitamin A intake. Vitamin A can affect your testosterone levels to increase your skin’s sebum production and improve the health and strength of your hair. 

Foods rich in vitamin A include:

• Spinach
• Broccoli
• Cod Liver Oil
• Red Peppers
• Sweet Potato
• Beef Liver
• Cantaloupe
• Squash

Conclusion

Taking care of your scalp’s health is essential for combatting hair loss. There are several ways to do so.
