Five Steps to Repairing Crown Area Hair Loss

Okay, so it seems like more and more folks are dealing with this type of hair loss problem than ever before. I'm talking about the crown region of your scalp.

Is this something you're dealing with right now?

Fortunately you're in for a big change ahead because I have the cure for your problem.

Well I probably shouldn't call it a "cure", but you can bet your bottom dollar these tips are absolutely fantastic.

Not long ago I conducted a little survey of my own asking a few ordinary folks if they could change anything about their hair loss problem, what would it be?

Shocked me to pieces when about 70% all said regrow hair in their crown area.

So . . .

Let's try to tackle this shall we?

Step 1: Let's do some investigating. Time to be our own hair loss detectives and see if we can't crack the case. Determining the exact reason why hair is falling out in this area is a MUST.

Ask youself . . .

Have you experienced any physical trauma to your crown? Have you been combing or brushing your crown area too rough? Wrapping it? Is it getting too much exposure to heat? Is it moisturized?

Yes I know I sound like a nosey bum, but there are some things you just can't leave out. It's actually the determining factor that will turn things around for you.

Step 2: Time to diagnose. Having the right protein/moisture balance is very important. Conditioning the crown area is essential, plus keeping it moisturized regularly will serve to prevent excess drying of your crown which is responsible for breakage.

Step 3: Stimulate with massage. You've heard it a billion times yes but there's a reason for it. Scalp massage is the BEST medicine for restoring hair. If you can't spare 10 minutes to massaging your crown area then you're one sad case (no offense).

All it takes is a little essential oils such as thyme, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender. Sweet almond oil and jojoba are considered "carrier oils" that you can combine with the others for some even better effects.

WORD OF CAUTION: Mixing essential oils while beneficial can irritate your scalp. Play it safe.

Step 4: Don't allow direct heat. It will do nothing good for the crown region. Blow drying is a quick route to a dry head, but it also can be a quick route to a bald head. Make sure your crown area isn't subjected to a lot of heat.

Step 5: Take cover. Don't hide in a basement of course, rather keep your head covered while sleeping to seal in your hair's natural moisture. Is your pillowcase made of cotton? Get rid of it, as this definitely strips hair out fast.
