Trace element analysis

The process of hair loss is considered natural. However, you can only be calm if a person loses about 40 hairs per day. This is completely normal, since those that have already outlived their usefulness are replaced, and new and healthy ones appear in their place. If you observe heavy hair loss over a certain period, then you need to take care of strengthening your hair. To identify the cause of hair loss, it is best to analyze their condition.

Advice! It is recommended to start a course of intensive hair restoration with this procedure, especially if it is necessary to replenish them internally and externally with vitamins.

What will this procedure do?

Will tell you everything about hair and scalp. Spectral research performed using a magnifying camera has the greatest accuracy. It allows you to obtain information about the condition of the scalp and blood flow, the presence of flaking, inflammation and seborrhea, the phase of hair growth, the potential of the hair follicles, the integrity of the cuticle and the lack or excess of nutrients. This technique in some cases makes it possible to determine the improper functioning of individual internal organs.
Any regional center has a laboratory where hair is analyzed for microelements. You can find out her address from a trichologist or dermatologist at a regional hospital. Currently, this procedure is also carried out remotely - just send your hair by mail, pay for the service and receive the result by e-mail.
Only a nutritionist can correctly decipher the results of the analysis and use them usefully, because some elements are antagonists. These include, for example, zinc and copper, iron and calcium, etc. Thus, if the iron level is insufficient, taking medications with calcium will lead to an even greater drop.

Laboratory analysis will help accurately identify hair problems.
Every hair has a medulla in its central part. Its structure contains keratin cells and air cavities, which, according to scientists, contribute to the transfer of nutrients to the cuticle and cortical cells.

Keratin is the main building material for hair, providing its appearance and effectiveness of protection. Keratin deficiency is replenished with animal proteins (meat, poultry, fish, dairy products) and vitamin B (liver, soy, nuts).

Features of treatment in different groups of people

Different groups of people have their own, most characteristic causes of deterioration of hair condition and ways to eliminate them.

Among women

Common causes of weak hair in women:

Chronic stress, depression.
Overwork.

Hair loss: causes

Currently, almost fifty causes of hair loss are known, among which the most common are: hormonal imbalances in the body, poor diet, strong emotions, and overwork. If you solve this problem yourself, there is a high probability of causing even more harm.

For example, taking multivitamins is not able to correct the imbalance in the content of microelements.

At the first signs of hair loss, you should reconsider your diet and regimen.

Lifestyle

A proper lifestyle is very important for the prevention and treatment of baldness. Stress, smoking, and irregular nutrition contribute to the deterioration of hair growth. It is unreasonable to think that you can change the situation with hair loss only with the right products and vitamins. An integrated approach will give more results.

Make it a habit to exercise. This could be regular morning exercises. Physical activity has a positive effect on the external and internal state of the body. It’s not for nothing that they say: “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” Stop smoking and drinking alcohol, spend more time in the fresh air. Saturating the body with oxygen helps restore internal life processes.

If you have a tendency toward baldness, you should regularly visit a trichologist and monitor changes in hair structure and condition.

Excessive loss is not a death sentence. You can change the situation by approaching the problem with full responsibility. Learn to properly care for your hair, do not neglect the advice of experts, and your hair will definitely reward you with healthy shine, strength and thickness.

Proper nutrition is the key to beautiful hair

Food has a direct impact on the condition of the skin and hair.

So, to prevent dehydration, brittleness and hair splitting, the diet should include foods rich in fatty acids, such as fatty fish (tuna, salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel), nuts, olives, cereals, and vegetable oil.

It is recommended to drink 6–8 glasses of juices, compotes, fruit drinks, herbal teas and plain water per day.

To prevent excessive sebum production, B vitamins found in nuts, cereals, legumes, yeast, dairy products, eggs, greens, salads and wheat germ help.

To add shine, you need zinc, which is rich in oysters and other seafood, as well as meat, poultry, oatmeal, legumes, eggs, milk, and brown bread.

Liver, carrots, apricots, and apples will help replenish iron deficiency.

Important! The main building material for hair is proteins, so healthy hair requires protein-rich foods - meat, fish, chicken, eggs, nuts, grains and dried fruits. All of them increase the strength of hair follicles, and soy protein (soy milk, beans and tofu cheese) stimulates hair growth.

How to properly protect your scalp

The skin is the first to protect the body from external influences. Therefore, it is important to ensure its proper functioning, protecting it from ultraviolet radiation, bad water, polluted air, wind, frost and dry air. The most vulnerable is the lipid film. When the cells lose moisture, peeling and tightness are observed. Caring for your hair requires reliable protection.

When heat styling, use cosmetics with a heat-protective formula and a curling iron equipped with an ionic function, temperature control and a ceramic coating.
From the frost. Wear a hat in sub-zero temperatures and cover your hair completely when temperatures are below -15°C.
From the sun. To prevent the destruction of keratin by UV radiation, use cosmetics with an SPF of 12 or more.
From bleach. Causes dandruff and itching. Wash your hair after swimming.

The cause of brittleness is damage to the cuticle, which leads to lifting of its scales and exposure of the hair shaft. In this case, you need to cut your hair and remove the injured strands. In the absence of dandruff and hair loss, a course of massage will help. You should include seafood in your diet and increase physical activity.

To prevent excessive sebum production, B vitamins found in nuts, cereals, legumes, yeast, dairy products, eggs, greens, salads and wheat germ help.

As soon as intense hair loss begins, many members of the fairer sex also notice a loss of healthy shine. To give your hair shine you need to follow some rules:

eat foods rich in zinc, copper, iron and B vitamins;
Use cool water to wash your hair and rinse your hair thoroughly (if the water is hard, use shampoo with an anti-lime complex);
use cotton towels and natural pillowcases for pillows;
use a hair dryer with a ceramic heating element and do not dry your hair with it for more than 20 minutes;
comb with natural brushes or wooden combs and do not allow the formation of nicks on their surface;
perform a massage that improves nutrition of the bulbs.

Care products

The choice of hair care products is based on their usefulness and effectiveness. Finding yourself in front of a display case with cosmetics, you can be confused by its abundance. Shampoos, conditioners, sprays, they are all presented in huge quantities, but are they all effective?

Decyl Glucoside or decyl polyglucose;
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate;
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate/sulfoacetate;
Cocoamidopropyl Betaine.

Products with “healthy” ingredients are sold only in specialized organic cosmetics stores or pharmacies. Among the quality root strengthening products, the following are popular:

Shampoo with quinine KLORANE - helps protect against hair loss, the effect is achieved after 2 weeks of use.

Growth shampoo with a complex of active ingredients "KORA" - gives hair strength and elasticity; to increase the effect, it is recommended to use it with other products of the same series.
