hair loss forum

hair loss forumI sometimes hear from folks who are looking for natural, inexpensive, and not invasive ways to help with their hair shedding. One possibility that sometimes comes up is oiling one’s scalp. This generally involves using a carrier oil (coconut, olive, jojoba, emu, tea tree oil or others) massaged into the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles and to promote hair regrowth.

I recently heard from someone who said: “my hair has been shedding dreadfully for about six weeks. Not only is my hair dropping out, but my scalp is sore and itchy. On a hair loss forum, I read about a suggestion for using tea tree or emu oil to soothe your scalp. I also read that these oils sometimes help with hair loss and shedding. So my question is would oiling my scalp help with what I think is telogen effluvium? Or would it just soothe my sore scalp? And does it make your hair look greasy?”

There was no way for maine to predict the future or the outcome when this person oiled their scalp, but I certainly have a theory, which I’ll explicate now.

In times of stress the areas furthest away from the heart suffer most, particularly fingers, feet and the scalp. A small imbalance in the body affects the hair and scalp. It is non stress, but the power to deal with stress that makes the difference in people losing hair due to stress.

How can you reduce stress?

Let out your feelings – If you ar stressed or feeling negative about your hair call a friend or join a group. Otherwise there is always your Doctor or Counsellor.

Visualize and affirm. Before going to sleep every night visualise the type of hair you would want to have. In bed close your eyes look about 30 degrees (1 o’ time position of a clock) in an upward direction. It is thought that we look at the future in an optimistic light doing this. Make the vision in colour – bright, large and alive – almost as though you could touch, feel and see it. Add as much clarity to it as you can – include the colour of the hair you would like, its texture, thickness and style.

2. Use gentle non-harsh shampoos
