Fine and Thinning Hair – A Suggested Solution to This Common Problem

If you haven’t already, one day you will wake up to realise that your precious hair has become alarmingly finer or thinner. Fine and thinning hair will be related to one or more conditions from which you will be suffering, anything from age to stress. Increased hair loss is a situation many people will inevitably find themselves in at some time in their lives. With men it’s easy, if their testosterone isn’t keeping their hair strong and plentiful they just shave it off - for them less is more these days. For us women it is distressing to look at the sink’s plughole and see how much hair seems to have been lost after our regular shampoo regime.

Some reasons for thinning hair are painful to consider

Although our grandmothers would probably reassure us that our crowning glory becomes inevitably less full and possibly even thinner with the passage of time, the modern woman no longer needs to accept this process as de facto - something that has to be endured.

There are many acknowledged reasons for thinning hair or simply losing bounce and volume. Some of the most common are attributed to stress, dietary deficiencies, health issues and hormonal changes. How many of you are nodding your head I agreement as you read this small but significant list?

Magazines are chock-full of recommendations for the latest beauty product that promise to restore our locks to their former glory. So what’s a girl to do?

As part of a personal regime, diet is important; don’t just take supplements, instead eat fresh greens, fruit (not in juice form) as well as more seed-based foods. Seeds contain many of the vitamins, minerals and oils essential to healthy hair. A second thing to focus on is to try and rein in your stress levels. Many people are stressed and are not even aware of the fact - it sits on them like a silent demon. Others worry about things they can’t change - this is the worse type of stress as there is no relief in sight unless they can change their attitude. I am personally guilty of this form of stress and know how hard it can be to switch it off.

 

We’ve all heard the words of Reinhold Niebuhr before:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

My suggestion is to try hard to live by this - it will make you a happier person!

Thinning hair to full head of hair

Obviously none of these will not have an immediate effect on thinning hair, either in quality or quantity; to achieve that you need to do something else. If your need is immediate, you might like to consider moving away from that bathroom cabinet crammed full of “miracle” products and embrace a semi-permanent hair extension. With a wide variety of styles and colours to choose from you can easily match it to your natural hair. Keratin bonded extensions are very popular and should last for several months. Consult a professional hair extension specialist such as Miss20 for advice on the most suitable type of hair extension - or wig - to suit your particular requirements. Your personal stylist will also be able to advise you on the best aftercare maintenance routine to keep your extensions or wig in the best condition possible.
