Link Between Vitamin Deficiency & Hair Loss

Millions and millions of people world wide suffer from partial or complete hair loss. There exist varied reasons of this agonizing problem. So it is very difficult for dermatologists to ascertain exact reason of hair loss.

However if the loss of hair strikes after usage of certain medications, it could be easily adjudged as a side effect of medication. But many a times the underlying reasons for hair loss remain unidentified. And one such hair loss is deficiency related hair loss. Malnutrition or deficiency of nutrients and vitamins often paves the way for hair fall. So you must check your sharp hair fall against these deficiencies.

Hair follicles require certain vitamins to carry on their constant function of regeneration and growth. If follicles remain deprived of these vitamins they won't be able to carry out their normal functioning and may result in hair loss.

Most often due to poor dietary habits or disturbed metabolism folks happen to be deficient with these vitamins. So a change in dietary habits or food intake is necessary to ensure enough intake of necessary vitamins for hair in order to prevent hair loss.

Vitamin A, E and B are of special significance in keeping the healthy hair.

Vitamin A keeps hair moist by helping them to secrete sebum in scalp as per requirement. This sebum keeps hairs away from dryness. This dryness of hair happens to be first step towards hair fall. So there must not be deficiency of this vital vitamin that also happens to be an anti oxidant.

Vitamin E performs the vital function of increasing level of blood circulation towards scalp and also helps follicle cells take enough oxygen. This result in enhanced ability of follicles to regenerate and grow hair. And the deficiency would adversely affect follicular function.

And four different types of vitamin B also cast adverse effect on hair condition if present in less than needed level. Biotin is a complex vitamin B that effectively curbs hair loss and contribute greatly in keeping hairs firm on scalp. Milk and egg yolk are major sources to cover up this deficiency. Para Amino Benzoic Acid is another B complex that is of equal significance for hair nourishment. Vitamin B6 and Inositol are other two B vitamins that are necessary for healthy hair.

If you are facing deficiency of these vitamins you should incorporate food items in your diet to ensure sufficient intake of these vitamins. It would lessen possibility of hair loss.

6 Foods That Made My Hair Grow Fast!

I made this post on my blog to tell you about 6 foods that actually made my hair grow faster. Now you've probably read a few things about faster hair growth. You may have heard that it's impossible to speed up hair growth.

Well now that I gave these 6 foods a test run over a period of three months, I totally disagree with anyone who says this. You can make your hair grow faster. Here's the scoop on these foods.

They are beef, eggs, bacon, salmon, cottage cheese, and brown rice. I'm going to just say that if you're on a diet, don't skimp your diet. Just eat these foods in moderation because they work well for your hair.

Beef, eggs, bacon, and salmon are high in protein and allow the hair to grow thicker. I'm willing to assume that this is what transformed some of my thin hairs to thicker hairs.

Cottage cheese is high in calcium, which will also allow your hair to become much stronger than it is. Brown rice is high in carbs (the good, healthy carbs that is).

Much success to you,

Christopher

Blow Drying Your Hair Away??

Do you blow dry your hair . . .

or do you allow it to dry naturally? It's quite something to think about. Many people don't but you should because it can affect the health of your hair.

Most blow dryers come with various settings where you can raise and lower the temperature. But this isn't an excuse. You should AVOID drying your hair this way.

It leads to breakage of your hair as well as split ends. Now that you know this, you need an effective way of drying your hair in order to prevent losing it right?

Here's your answer . . .

Towel dry using a patting and dabbing technique. Never rub your head when towel drying. It upsets your hair's roots.

Yes a blow dryer is a convenient commodity. But what do you prefer . . .

Longer drying time and more hair. Or faster drying time and less hair. Just something to think about.

Sometimes more hair growth is just a matter of getting into the habit of doing things differently. And it doesn't have to take much of your time just like the blow drying tip that you just read about. Most of us don't have a lot of time, yet we must do what we can to regrow our hair.
