5 Tips on Improving Hair Quality

As you get older, you may begin to see the signs of aging appear in your appearance.. Your body shape fluctuates, your hormones change, and even your hair quality can shift. The change in your hair can mean excessive hair loss or even male pattern baldness. How does hair loss come to be? It could be various reasons including stress, genetics, underlying medical conditions, or even a sign of aging. In order to avoid having the quality of your hair deteriorate, let’s look into some helpful tips that will improve your hair quality in the long run.

 

                           How You Can Improve Your Hair Quality

Recognizing the basic steps to improve the structure of your hair will eliminate the stress you gain in figuring out how to fix the problem and avoid major issues in the future. These tips are going to be very beneficial to becoming proactive about your hair health. Let's take a look at what steps to take:

Massage Your Scalp

Massaging your scalp is one of the most simple steps you can follow in the journey to improving your hair quality. With a scalp massage, you’re encouraging the hair follicles on your scalp to grow faster as it helps increase moisture and hair thickness. Scalp massages can stimulate circulation and strengthen the extra follicles. Be sure to be gentle so you don’t damage any healthy hair follicles. If you feel like you need extra effort in having a thorough scalp massage, invest in a scalp brush—they’re waterproof of course and can get into spots that are easy to miss on the head. As long as you focus on doing a little scalp massage daily in your routine, you have mastered one of the steps to improving your hair quality.

 

Take Vitamins

Not only are vitamins important for daily nutrition in the body, but there are certain ones that help with improving your hair quality as well. Vitamins such as Biotin and Vitamin E can have the most benefit in reaching your hair quality goals. Whether your goal is maximizing hair growth, improving hair thickness, or establishing shinier hair, Biotin and vitamin E are the main ingredients for maintaining quality hair health. Before you go out and purchase these supplements, be sure to do your research and determine the highest quality product. Consult your doctor as well, since they’re going to have a better knowledge of vitamin intake and your specific medical needs.

 

Research Medication

Vitamins are one thing but if you know that your condition with hair loss is more severe or that male pattern baldness and/or hair loss is within your family genetics, it is best to look into medications that will help treat the condition before it progresses. Research the best hair loss solutions for your specific needs and get a headstart on your hair regrowth journey. Talk with your doctor to find the best solution for you and your health. Working together will give you optimal results and cater to your individual requirements.

Use Less Shampoo

It does sound a little abnormal to use less of a product that is supposed to maintain great hygiene. The thing is with a lot of shampoo products, they contain sulfates which actually aren’t very good for your hair. In fact, that is partially the reason why others deal with having low-quality hair or show patterns of hair loss. A major culprit of this is due to products that can be hazardous to the locks on your head. Looking into shampoos that are free of sulfates and parabens or follow the trending  “low poo” criteria is the best route to take. Depending on how thick your hair may be or the level of its porosity will determine the right product to use in keeping your hair clean and healthy.

 

Rinse in Cool Water

Water temperature is your friend. Making sure that the water temperature is set to a cooler setting will help in improving hair quality. With warm or hot water, the moisture in your hair won’t be able to lock in. In fact, it will strip the oils from your hair and dry out your scalp. By using cold water, it actually helps with breakage and frizz by allowing your scalp to retain moisture and stimulates pore closure to protect it from dirt and oil build-up. Not only will this improve hair quality, but it does help keep your hair stay clean longer and prevent frequent greasiness.  Rinsing in cold water does help prevent hair loss by protecting hair follicles and vulnerability from using excessively hot water.

Look into all of these tips and see which works best for you. If you want to try them all, don’t forget to thoroughly research certain tips before implementing them into your new hair care routine. In the long run, these suggestions will be of great use to not only yourself but other people you know that are dealing with hair loss.
