Ask Morela: How to Control Excessive
Hair Loss?

«Hi, Morela! I wanted to ask for your advice regarding hair loss. How do I stop it, and what vitamins should I take? Thank you in advance!»

How to Control Excessive Hair Loss?

To answer the first part of your question, there are multiple ways to control your hair loss issue and not a ten-problems-one-solution scheme. While excessive hair loss can be pretty troublesome, it’s not that hard to deal with when you’re taking the right measures.

Here’re my top five recommendations for reducing hair loss:

Use Mild Shampoo

Shampoos loaded with detrimental chemicals such as sulfate, silicone, and paraben make your tresses brittle, which effectively makes them prone to breakage. Considering how washing our hair is a vital, routine occurrence, you need to switch your shampoo while making sure it doesn’t have the three harmful ingredients mentioned earlier.

Avoid Chemical Treatments

Undergoing hair treatments like coloring, and rebonding can also leave unkindly effects on your hair. That’s why we suggest staying away from anything chemical, especially when you’re already shedding hair.

Enrich Your Diet with Protein

The best thing you can do to prevent hair loss is to indulge in a protein-rich diet. From personal experience, I can safely suggest adding lean meat, fish, and superfoods to your daily diet for getting the best results within a month!

Let Go of Tense Hairstyles

Hairstyles putting stress on your strands can also be a cause of hair loss. So, while a top knot looks classy and is simple to do, it can do a number on your hair. Similarly, a high pony always looks fantastic, but it pulls the hair tightly on the crown section, leading to unnecessary breakage. That’s why it is best to avoid the kind of tense hairstyles that do more damage than good for your hair.

Oiling and Head Massage Is a Must

Oiling and head massage is the best pre-wash treatment for your scalp health as it encourages blood flow and soaks the moisture well into the hair shaft, making your hair less likely to break when wet. You should switch between argan oil, tea tree oil, castor oil, olive oil, and almond oil from time to time and give your hair the ultra-spa treatment it deserves.

What Vitamins to Take for Strengthening Your Hair from the Root?

Secondly, you’re on-point to ask which supplements you should be taking for minimizing hair fall. Many people underestimate the power of supplements when it comes to strengthening their weak hair, which is more often the crux of the problem than anything else. Lack of particular vitamins in your body is a prominent cause of hair loss that you can easily rectify by taking the following supplements every day:

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the best nutrients you can take for reducing hair loss, as it neutralizes the hair-damaging radicals while helping your body process iron.

Zinc

Zinc proves especially effective in maintaining proper protein structure and functioning cells within the follicle.

Biotin

You can take Biotin, also referred to as Vitamin B, to strengthen your damaged hairs, as they convert the protein you take in your diet into amino acids. These acids are the fundamental component for nourishing your hair strand’s structure.
