Hair loss may be a common problem, but that doesn’t mean there’s a common cause. Your genes are not always to blame—aging, physical or emotional stress, and even a poor diet can lead to hair loss in both men and women. Many new moms also lose a significant amount of hair a few months after childbirth.
What should you do if your hairline starts receding? Several manufacturers are working to get to the root of the hair loss problem with formulas that stimulate hair growth. Take the following steps to help stop thinning hair in its tracks:
1. Nourish your hair. Stress, hormone changes, and even the aging process can cut off the nutrient supply your hair craves to stay healthy and strong. Give your hair the fortifying ingredients it needs with the Osmotics Follicle Nutrient System. The FNS Follicle Nutrient Serum delivers necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly to the hair, leaving it strengthened and revitalized. For best results, use it in conjunction with the FNS Revitalizing Shampoo and the FNS Revitalizing Conditioner, which are formulated with scalp-stimulating ingredients such as rosemary oil.
[Hot tip! For fuller, thicker lashes and brows, try Osmotics FNS Nutrilash. This patented formula of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids stimulates hair growth, leaving brows and lashes stronger and healthier.]
2. Find the right fit. If your hairline is just barely receding, your needs are different from someone with visibly thinning hair. That’s why Nioxin Scalp & Hair Care Systems offers eight different treatment packages based on your hair type and thickness. Each three-step system features Nioxin Cleanser, Nioxin Scalp Therapy, and Nioxin Scalp Treatment to cleanse, restore, and stimulate hair growth.
3. Get to the root. For severe hair loss, massage J.F. Lazartigue’s Stymulactine 21 into your scalp. This non-greasy formula is loaded with silanols to help boost cellular activity in the hair roots themselves.
4. Remember to prep. Before you apply your favorite hair-growth treatment, make sure to lay the proper groundwork. Rene Furterer recommends using the Complexe 5 Regenerating Concentrate to prepare the scalp for treatments such as the RF80 Concentrated Hair Strengthening Formula before you even shampoo your hair.
5. Supplement your regimen. Dietary supplements can help fast-track needed nutrients to your hair follicles to stimulate hair growth, and they can also be used preventatively. Try J.F. Lazartigue’s Revitalizing Hair Vitamins—a cocktail of vitamins A, E, B2, B5, and B6—for a fuller head of hair.
