Hair Loss Prevention

Eat a nutritionally balanced, low-fat diet rich in calcium, iodine, iron, minerals, and protein. (see Diet for Reducing and Preventing Hair Loss page)
Air-dry hair.
Avoid tight hairstyles, such as braids, buns or ponytails.
Avoid compulsively twisting, rubbing or pulling your hair.
Some people report that products containing minoxidil promote new hair growth and prevent further hair loss.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle, eliminating as much stress as possible.
Consult a physician immediately at the onset of unusual hair loss.
Get yearly checkups.
Make certain that effective communication exists between you and your doctor. If the appropriate level of rapport is not achieved after several visits, pursue other professionals until a comfortable fit is in place. Absolutely no information should be withheld from your health care provider if optimum diagnosis and treatment is to be rendered.
