I love admiring girls and ladies with long, straight, shiny, flowing hair. They are so attractive, demure and sexy. But men with long, empty hair give me the creeps. I do not want to imagine what is hidden in that dirty and unwashed hair.
One of the functions of hair is to regulate body temperature. The hair serves as a physical barrier between the cold external air and the skin and also traps the hot air between the skin and the hair. That way, a person will not suffer from a severe cold.
If men keep their hair long for that function, I think it’s fine to do so, but the hair must be well cared for.
As we age, our physical appearance gradually changes. The overall density of the hair changes and the hair strands become finer. Soon thinning occurs which will eventually lead to hair loss. We all shed about 100 hairs each day, but if you’re losing more than that, you may have other issues. This has a strong genetic link; a Genetic Condition likely inherited from your mother’s or father’s side.
Although you cannot change your genes, there are other ways you can do to protect and maintain your “CROWN”. Losing your hair can be deeply distressing and affects all age groups, especially women. Whether it’s bad genetics, hormonal imbalance, poor diet, or even stress, the effect is the same… DEVASTATING. Although it is common knowledge, that thinning hair is such a natural phenomenon in life, it does not mean that we have to accept it and do nothing.
There are many solutions to address the problem… Think lifestyle changes!
Hair thrives on protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. Therefore, choosing the right foods with the right nutrients will help keep hair strong and healthy. If you are a vegetarian and have anemia, you lack iron in your body, which is essential. for healthy hair. So make sure you eat plenty of green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, beans, tofu, peas, and nuts. For non-vegetarians, in addition to the above, red meats, other lean meats and fish can be eaten.
Massage some coconut oil into your scalp with your fingertips in circular motions for several minutes before washing it off. This action improves blood circulation in the scalp to stimulate better hair growth. During shampooing, continue massaging as you wash. This will further invigorate the hair roots.
After washing, let hair air dry as blow dryers and flat irons are too hot and will damage hair. We must realize that only damaged or diseased hair falls out, so we must be careful to take care of them.
But if you need heated tools, choose those with adjustable settings and keep them on the lowest setting when you use them. In general, the less heat you use, the better. You’ll see less hair breakage, which makes hair look thinner.
When the hair is wet, you should gently brush it with a wide comb brush.
Another factor that causes hair loss is stress due to some difficult times, such as job loss, divorce, and loss of a loved one. We have to eliminate that stress and change the mindset to think positive.
Practice breathing in deeply through your nose and out through your mouth for several minutes, several times a day. If you are under constant pressure, it is good to master MEDITATION.
When your mind is clear, calm, and at peace, and your body is fed the right nutrient-dense foods in a clean, healthy environment, your hair will thank you. You will stay young with a HEAD FULL OF HAIR.
