Diet: Foods that can help with hair loss To encourage optimal hair health, focus on a diet rich in essential vitamins, minerals, proteins and beneficial fats. These nutrients stimulate hair follicles to promote a healthier scalp and ultimately, stronger hair. Protein Omega-3 Fatty Acids Vitamin A Vitamin B Hair is made up of mostly protein. Without protein, a critical building block, your body can t replace the hairs that you naturally shed. EAT: Soy, poultry and lean cuts of beef. Though your body doesn t produce its own omega-3s, they make up about 2-3% of the hair shaft. Omega-3s are also found in your scalp s cells and in the sebum that hydrates your scalp and hair. EAT: Walnuts, salmon, sardines, trout, mackerel, avocado and pumpkin seeds. Your body s cells cannot function properly without vitamin A, which also helps regulate the oils that keep your scalp healthy. EAT: Sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe and pumpkin. B vitamins transport oxygen and nutrients to the scalp and hair follicles. Biotin is a type of B vitamin that protects from dryness and breakage by strengthening the hair s cortex, the innermost layer of the shaft. EAT: Spinach, parsley, broccoli, beets, turnip, mustard greens, asparagus, romaine lettuce, lentils, bell peppers and snapper.

Omega-3 fatty acids, biotin, vitamin E and copper Zinc Silica Gamma- Linoleic Acid Magnesium Vitamin C Iron Zinc supports the glands attached to your hair follicles, and its absence causes hair to weaken and fall out. Zinc also promotes balanced hormone levels, which are directly linked to hair health. EAT: Oysters, whole-grain breads, nuts, beef, eggs and shrimp. Silica, a mineral that helps absorb other vitamins and minerals, is known to slow down hair loss. EAT: Red and green peppers, potatoes, bean sprouts and cucumbers. An essential omega-6 fatty acid, GLA promotes healthy hair growth, makes the hair strong and shiny, and helps combat dandruff. EAT: Evening primrose oil supplements. An important mineral that helps with hair growth and, conversely, causes hair loss if there s a deficiency. EAT: Halibut, spinach and bananas. Vitamin C regulates sebum production, which keeps hair hydrated and stimulates circulation to effectively deliver nutrients to the follicles. EAT: Oranges, lemons, limes, strawberries, kiwis and blueberries. Iron is vital for the production of hemoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen transport through blood. Your scalp needs a healthy blood flow to stimulate hair growth. EAT: Raisins, dried cherries, eggs, kale, dates and whole-grain cereals.
Dietary Supplements We don t always have time to eat right. Sometimes our body needs that little extra help to get the essential nourishment needed for healthy hair growth. Taking dietary supplements can help you reach the daily nutritional goals you don t fulfill through diet alone. Supplements are invariably designed in different formulas for men and women to address their specific needs. However, both men and women require the following nutrients to combat hair loss: Biotin, or Vitamin B7, plays a pivotal role in cell growth and fatty acid production. A biotin deficiency has been linked to hair loss and breakage, while its presence is known to help produce keratin, increase hair elasticity and promote healthy hair. Pyridoxine, or Vitamin B6, is critical for the healthy functioning of body processes, such as maintaining nerve function. It is well known for eliminating dandruff and balancing moisture in the hair and scalp. Folic acid, or Vitamin B9, is important for tissue and cell development. Accordingly, folic acid helps restore the cells that aid hair growth. Folic acid deficiency can lead to premature graying and hair loss.

L-cysteine is an amino acid that bonds with other proteins to form the hair shaft, rendering it essential for strong, healthy hair. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that serves as a natural lubricant for the scalp and plays a role in delivering proper nutrition to the hair follicles. It also stimulates the hormones responsible for the health, color and integrity of hair. Niacin, or Vitamin B3, plays a crucial role in DNA repair and metabolizing energy in cells, including those in the scalp and hair. Manganese is used by the body for enzyme functions, nutrient absorption and wound healing. A deficiency in manganese is associated with changes in hair color and the deceleration of hair growth.

Cleansers & Conditioners for Hair and Scalp Healthy hair starts with a clean, healthy scalp. Heavy build-up on the scalp due to overactive sebum (scalp oil), excessive product usage and dryness can lead to blocked follicles and inhibit hair growth. Left untreated, the scalp can become irritated and itchy. The right cleansers and conditioners make a world of difference in improving your hair and scalp health. SHAMPOO/CONDITIONERS Do s and Don ts. Do start by rinsing your hair with warm water for about 3 minutes. The extra rinsing time will loosen up product residue so you can use less shampoo. Don t comb your hair while you shampoo. Stretching and pulling create unnecessary stress on your strands. Save detangling for when the conditioner is in. Do choose a sulfate-free shampoo which is less harsh on hair. Don t underestimate the power of a high-quality shampoo. Don t pile hair on top of your head while shampooing. Apply the shampoo by smoothing it in a downward motion. Do shampoo your hair at least once a week. The health of your scalp determines how fast your hair grows. A healthy scalp is clean, flake-free and not itchy. Don t rough up your hair while drying. Gently squeeze out the water with a towel. Do use ph balanced or low ph products. Do look for phytic acid in the ingredients. It provides exfoliation of skin cells to improve the health of the scalp and improve laser light absorption HairMax for den si ty Fortifying and Revitalizing Shampoo Hydrating and Restorative Conditioner Invigorating and Clarifying Revitalizer Do use products that contain DHT blockers - DHT is a hormone that directly affects the hair follicle by causing miniaturization (shrinking) of the follicle, a smaller follicle is less productive. Do look for ingredients like peppermint oil & tea tree oil. These essential oils help stimulate circulation, maintain scalp health and prevent excessive oil build-up. Cleanse Exfoliate Hydrate
Leave-in Treatments for Thinning Hair & Scalp Leave-in treatments are much more effective than shampoos because the active ingredients remain on the scalp as opposed to being washed down the drain. Look for leave in treatments that contain DHT blockers, antioxidants (especially Vitamins B and E), minerals and skin-friendly oils like castor or olive oil. Use the leave in treatments either after you shower and towel dry or 30 minutes before you go to sleep. If your hair loss is advanced, you can use them twice per day.

Laser Light Treatments Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a revolutionary breakthrough for both men and women suffering the devastating effects of hair loss. LLLT is visible light in the red spectrum, which has been clinically proven to successfully treat hair loss and stimulate the hair follicles to promote hair growth. Safe, easy and effective, low level lasers deliver light energy directly to the scalp through a process known as Photo Biostimulation. The laser light increases the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel of the living cells within the follicle. ATP is integral to the function of the cell as an energy transporter. It promotes an increase in cellular activity, which helps create an optimal environment for hair growth. In addition, the energy from laser light may increase blood flow and circulation in the scalp. This leads to healthier hair follicles and helps remove harmful elements such as DHT, the hormone responsible for hair loss. Laser treatments deliver gentle, nourishing laser light directly to your hair follicles, infusing them with the energy needed to stimulate growth factors, extend the growth phase and help restore a healthy hair cycle. 15% OFF ALL HAIRMAX PRODUCTS Use Referral Code: HHG15 SHOP HAIRMAX.COM U.S. Toll Free 1.800.9REGROW Intl. +1.561.417.0200 HairMax LaserComb The Hairmax LaserComb is the first home use laser light device, FDA Cleared to treat hair loss and stimulate hair growth in both men and women.
