Preventing Hair Loss
Hairloss.about has written Preventing Hair Loss and writes "Detox Tea For Preventing Hair Loss, The book Naturally Healthy Hair by Mary Beth Janssen (Storey Books, 1999) gives an excellent recipe for a kidney detox tea. The author explains that healthy kidneys are "equated to healthy hair" in Chinese medicine. Once the kidneys are detoxified, a healthy flow of nutrients are free to make their way to the scalp where they promote healthy hair growth."

Simple procedures like using a mild shampoo and conditioner, and gentle brushing or combing would really help for good hair structure and a healthier crop!"
Cancernet has written Preventing Hair Loss and writes "Studies have shown that scalp cooling is effective in preventing hair loss in patients treated with some chemotherapy drugs. Cooling the scalp to a temperature of +17 oC to achieve a subcutaneous temperature of +20 0C (68 oF) constricts the blood supply to hair follicles diminishing or abolishing their perfusion hence preventing high chemotherapy dose delivery during the initial phase of chemotherapy. Further, coldness itself reduces the availability of (chemotherapy) cytotoxic drugs to the cells of the hair follicles by directly reducing their metabolic rate. It is the combined effect of both these mechanisms, induced by cooling the scalp, that prevents or reduces hair loss (alopecia)."
Mothernature has written Preventing Hair Loss and writes "If you're trying to hang on to your hair, consider these tips: Feed your scalp. It won't turn a desert into a forest, but good nutrition like quality protein and iron—do seem to play at least a minor role in preventing hair loss. In fact, severe dieting (200 to 400 calories a day) can actually provoke substantial temporary hair loss, says Dr. Savin. Good, low-fat sources of protein are lean chicken, beef and beans. Get sufficient iron from lean beef and enriched cereals, or even a good supplement. Too much vitamin A can actually cause hair loss."
