Easy Ways to Support Hair Growth and the Health of Your Scalp!

With aging, I think the more we know, the more empowered we can feel. If you are struggling with changes to your hair, such as hair loss and thickness I have some information that can help. Please note, I am not a doctor. All information posted within this article is research I have completed through various websites and compiled here for you. 

Here are ways to help promote a healthy scalp so your hair will have a better chance at growing back.

Folitin - Folitin is a revolutionary, topically applied serum made from a proprietary blend of active peptides that works to reverse hair loss and improve the overall health of your scalp. Folitin doesn't just focus on re-growth though; it also fortifies your existing hair. Your hair will be stronger, healthier and even fuller! 

Red Light Therapy – Red light therapy uses an LED that emits the correct level of light. When the light enters your skin, your mitochondria uses this to make more energy and in return, helps your cells repair themselves. There have been studies that show red light therapy can be an effective treatment for androgenic alopecia, improved hair thickness, as well as hair growth. 

Microneedling/ Derma Rolling – There is evidence to suggest that this can stimulate hair growth. Studies have shown that microneedling can treat androgenetic alopecia and some cases of alopecia areata. However, your dermatologist can run tests to find out what type of hair loss you have, so that you can come up with the best treatment plan for your specific needs. 

Lose the Stress – Stress can be a major cause of hair loss. Stress can cause a lot of harm to our bodies and our hair is not safeguarded from the effects of what it can do. In fact, stress can cause 3 different types of hair loss, Telogen effluvium, Trichotillomania and Alopecia areata. By managing your stress level you will be helping to take control of your overall health, not just your hair. 

If you are dealing with hair loss, you are not alone. Knowing there are ways that you can easily help move yourself in the direction you want, is the first step to getting there. Set up an appointment to talk to your dermatologist to find a course of action that best fits your needs and your desired results. 

Best of luck to you!
