Sometimes it can be as simple as a visit to your physician to figure out what changes have been made inadvertently causing this sudden onset. Other times, your stylist may have the information needed to stop and prevent any further hair loss.
There are certain products out there that will stop the over-loss of hair, thicken and even help regrow hair in areas that may be thinning or have already thinned. The one product I recommend to everyone would be Nioxin. Nioxin has been around since 1987 and has created a huge impression on the hair industry. Their research and development has lead them to 8 different product systems that range from color-treated hair to non-color treated hair in fine/thin or thick/course texture systems. And thats just the start. Not only do they have products that aid in hair loss, they also have treatments that deal with overly oily scalps as well as un-moisturized, lack-lustre hair. Rejuvenating the hair and creating a healthy, balanced scalp seems to be Nioxin's main goal.
To find out what system would help benefit you, figure out whether or not you:
1. Have color-treated or non color-treated hair.
2. Have fine/thin or thick/course texture.
3. And the type of loss your experiencing; normal to thin looking hair or noticeably thinning hair.
Each system is numbered 1-8 based on your answers to the above. After you have chosen the appropriate system, its time to start the process of beautiful healthy looking hair. Most of the time you can purchase the system in a kit that includes the Cleanser (shampoo), Scalp Therapy (conditioner) and Scalp Activating Treatment (leave-in treatment). When purchased all together they may only provide a small starter kit which could include anywhere from 4-8oz of product. Other times they will have 33oz sizes of the Cleanser and Scalp Therapy not including the Scalp Activating Treatment. If you plan on using Nioxin regularly and want to notice a difference I would highly recommend investing in the larger sizes; they will last much longer.
As usual, it takes a certain amount of time to notice a difference in both the thickening and possible regrowth of hair. According to Nioxin, 9 out of 10 people perceive an increase in the thickness and overall appearance of the hair density. Also, it can take about 6-8 weeks from the start of using Nioxin to notice any type of difference.
As I mentioned above, in each kit there are 3 steps:
- Shampoo
- Condition
- Leave-in treatment
The shampoo and conditioner are just that; work them into a nice lather and rinse after about 1 minute. The most essential part of this whole process is to use and leave in the scalp activating treatment. Leaving it in not only helps your scalp to absorb the ingredients needed for thickening and strengthening from the inside out but also allowing it to have time to activate the follicle by deeply cleansing and restoring your hair back to its original condition.
Hopefully this article helped give further insight into hair loss while opening you up to other possibilites of strenghtening and maintaining the beauty of your hair.
