"Say Goodbye to Hair Fall: A Guide to Healthy Hair Density"

 

Don't we want our hair to be thick, shiny, lush, and healthy? Of course, yes, that's what we're all waiting for.

Hair fall is a problem that everyone is facing nowadays. Hair loss occurs without any age limit. Earlier, the elderly were the most affected, but now children are also seen.

Even if a single strand of hair falls out of our hands, it has become a crying state. We get unfortunate and angry when we see hair flying here and there in our house. Stressing out that my hair is falling out is causing the problem more.

If you think about what could be the reason for this, there are many types of reasons. First, take good care of your hair. Hair density is an important thing to note.

Hair density will decrease greatly due to excessive hair fall. So to learn about hair density and how to grow beautiful, luscious hair, let's see this blog!

What is hair density?

Hair density refers to the number of hair follicles on our scalp. Hair strands should be counted and evaluated in units of a square inch or centimeter on our scalp.

The thicker the ends, the denser our hair will be. This helps a lot in how we comb and style our hair to make it look voluminous and thicker. Good and bad are there in everything in our lives, and there are also two types of hair density: 'high hair density' and 'low hair density'. So it is important to know what kind of hair density we have and how to fix it.

Causes of Low Hair Density

1. Genetics
2. mental stress
3. Aging
4. Hot water showers
5. unhealthy diet
6. Excessive hair washing
7. Over styling
8. Overuse of heat styling products
9. Hormonal changes
10. Insomnia
11. Menopause
12. pregnancy
13. Prolonged illness
14. Some medicines for diseases

How Do You Measure Hair Density?

To measure hair density, if we can easily move the hair from our scalp, it means that we have low hair density. This means that if we have difficulty moving the hair to view the scalp, we have high hair density.

We can follow the ponytail method for a very easy test from home. For this, simply put the hair in a ponytail and then measure the circumference of the ponytail. If the circumference of the ponytail is less than 2 inches, it means low density; 2–3 inches means medium density; and 4 or more inches means high density.

How to Improve Hair Density?

A healthy diet for healthier hair density!

A healthy diet is the main factor for hair growth. Hair density can easily reveal our health. It is important to eat a variety of nutritious foods every day. The food we eat should be very healthy and contain all the essential nutrients for our hair growth. Foods rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fiber, and healthy fats should be included daily.

Nutritional deficiencies can lead to excessive hair loss. Taking enough protein and foods rich in vitamin E, vitamin B3, and vitamin C helps our hair grow firmly and thickly without breakage. Eating more eggs, spinach, carrots, avocados, and fish can help prevent nutritional deficiencies that cause hair loss.

Make scalp massage a regular habit

Massaging is very useful to increase the blood flow in our scalp. Massage reduces the level of stress-releasing hormone ‘cortisol’ in our body and makes us relax. It flushes out toxins from the scalp, increases hair density, reduces dryness of the scalp, nourishes the hair follicles, and promotes hair growth.

Use essential oil for gently massaging each strand of hair; it will gradually increase the blood flow to the head and reduce body heat, thereby reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth. This increases the hair density and gives your hair a dense and shiny look. Frequent brushing of hair along with massage will get good results.

Stress management

Stress tends to be the most important cause of many problems in the body. Due to stress and anxiety, hair loss increases, and the hair becomes thicker and looks lighter. Firstly , it is important to know ‘to what extent we are mentally and physically stressed in a day’ in our daily lives. Knowing this, we should change our routine accordingly and know what to do to be relaxed. Yoga, meditation, exercise, listening to music, and spending more time on things you like can help you de-stress in many ways. By reducing stress, our hair will grow better, resulting in high hair density.

Choose the right hair care products

Changing the hair products we use frequently can increase hair loss. This causes the hair to become dry and more susceptible to breakage without nourishment. First, know which type of product is right for our hair and choose and use products accordingly.
