How Can You Determine A Healthy Scalp?

What does it mean when you say the hair is growing slowly? It simply means that the scalp is not as healthy or in the best condition that it should be. What leads to unhealthy hair is that it is not in the naturally best condition such that the hair grows at the naturally optimum or fastest speed. 

This also intends to the fact that the hair could be falling faster than it can grow or replenish. It also means that hair is weak and unhealthy, splits, is brittle or breaks easily. It also implies the inner overall health, lifestyle, diet, scalp care, hair care, emotional state or physical state or all the factors needing attention, care and fine-tuning. 

When we say the scalp and hair are healthy, about 90% of hair growing at any given time at the naturally healthy and optimum speed whereas the other 10% is resting. As the hair rests for a couple of months, it then falls off naturally making room for new hairs. As the new hair grows, healthily, it grows at a rate of half an inch each month. 

As the blocking or slowing down hair growth factors come in, the whole process is disrupted and soon the consequences or effects are seen as we look in the mirror and see more than 50 hairs fall off every day from the head. 

What Factors Are Considered Disruptive And Disturbing And How Do We Deal With It?

There are a lot of treatments that include the cheap ways, expensive ways, luxurious ways, scientific ways, natural ways, chemically induced ways, combination of this-and-that ways, Ayurveda treatments, learning the ways to rest and relax, eating right, living right, good scalp massage, or if you are willing to spend lot more money, try out hair transplant, natural hair extensions or wear natural hair wig. 

Consider these doable ways for regular people like regular busy working mum with two kids. 

1) Diet

Food that is rich in protein, (makes keratin which is what hair is made of), B vitamins (reduce hair loss), antioxidants like vitamin C, E, and A(detoxify and cleanse the system, build new hair cells, strengthen hair), iron and zinc-rich food.  

Iron is important as it gets oxygen to the cells and hair follicles that are very important for healthy scalp and hair. The two things that zinc can do is to grow the bodies and repair the tissues like hair.

These can be got from taking supplements, or eating food like eggs, lean meat, fish, nuts, beans, soy stuff, bananas, seafood, spinach, peas, broccoli, whole grains, oranges, lemons, strawberries, kiwis, fortified foods, etc. 

Stick to fresh food and not canned or processed. Cook healthy way like steaming and grilling instead of deep-fry or fried. Doing it consistently gets the body the building blocks diet to grow hair long and fast. 

Drinking lots of water is another tip, as 8 glasses would be great and having 2-3 glasses first thing in the morning after you wake up can do wonders to the health. Water flushes out accumulated bacteria and toxins from the system. 

2) Lifestyle

Keeping your mental and physical health in tip-top condition is the best as mental health or emotional well being is vital, so stay positive. Quit smoking for a great healthy start, or at least work towards quitting the nasty self-destroying habit. As it is burning money, whereas there is no benefit at all.

Go easy on alcohol for heavy drinkers or regular party-goers . Just a sip or two of wine or the healthy brandy helps blood circulation bringing the blood up to the cheeks, but gulping down glass after glass like every other night at parties, social gatherings or at your home will not help. On an empty stomach, excessive alcohol burns your liver.  

Regular exercise like running, brisk walking, jogging, yoga, swimming, dancing, biking, cycling, climbing, skating, playing tennis, playing football, helps you stay healthy.

All the nags that happens to our bodies, like healing, growing, building, repairing, etc happens when we sleep well, so always get enough sleep. It will truly recharge us all around when we sleep 8 hours a day.

It is reported that when we are tired and stressed out, the body systems work harder to keep us awake and keep energizing us to sustain us when it comes to hair.

Instead of being used by our body systems to build healthy hair, this needs extra nutrients to sustain us. 

3) Stress

To be true, stress is reported to be a major cause of hair loss as serious stress can cause our body system to stop producing hair and stunt hair growth. We will lose hair when we allow our stressful state to go on. To let our hair and hair grow back to normal this takes time and effort. 

A solid and quality 15-30 minutes chill out time works wonders and try not to let stress level go bad that you cannot get up or go into serious depression. It is best to seek professional advice from the doctor, in case the hair growth is stunted or disrupted or you experience hair loss due to a medical condition or supplement thorough treatment like chemotherapy.

Wearing a good wig or using fashionable scarves and bandanas is a good temporary idea while waiting for your hair to grow back for those who have gone through chemotherapy. 

4) Hair Care

With consistent and tender loving care, your scalp and fragile hair will grow healthy. It is important to take good care of the crowning glory. It can affect the hair growth process when you do or not do it. 

All the treatments like perming, chemical treatment, chemically coloring hair, straightening, using too much and not friendly hair styling stuff, blow-drying, roughly tugging at the hair, untangling the hair when wet, combing or brushing the hair too much, using harmful hairbrushes or bristles, tying your hair up too tightly can be harmful to the hair. 

Final Thoughts 

When the scalp is at its healthiest condition, the hair grows best and well. The hair growing at its naturally healthiest and fastest speed means you have a healthy and well taken care of the scalp. To circulate the blood and nutrients to your scalp and hair follicles, do the scalp massages consistently. 

Before starting any medication or treatment it is best to consult your doctor or hair specialist.
