Maintaining a healthy scalp is very important for optimal hair growth. For those who are suffering from hair loss, you shall put more attention to maintain your scalp in order to prevent your hair from keep on losing.
What is a healthy scalp? Healthy scalps are those where the skin is toned, pliable and stimulated. A toned and flexible scalp indicates a healthy network of connective tissue and nourishing blood vessels and a pliable scalp skin allows for better circulation to the hair follicles. A healthy scalp is also a clean and stimulated scalp.
How should we take care of our scalp? Here are the tips:
1. Ensure your scalp is clean. If your scalp is suffering from psoriasis or dandruff, chances are this is a large part of your hair loss problem. An oily scalp can often lead to increased dandruff and psoriasis. In this case, you should wash your hair and scalp daily with anti-dandruff shampoos.
2. Massage your scalp. A healthy scalp needs a constant supply of blood circulation. Hair follicles with a constant supply of blood will remain healthy and active. Scalp massages help bring these much needed nutrients from the blood to the scalp.
3. Avoid exposing the scalp to temperature extremes. Be careful when you use blow dryer to dry your hair. Make sure you direct the blow dryer heat down to the hair shaft and not directly toward the scalp. This is because the heated air from blow dryer will cause the scalp condition becomes too dry and lack of moisture.
4. Balancing your diet. Vitamins and minerals are essential for hair growth and your overall health in general. Nutritional imbalances may result in inadequate nourishment to our scalps which may hinder hair growth and scalp health. Avoid from crash and fad dieting.
5. Avoid smoking. Smoking constricts the arteries and the small blood capillaries, while slowing down blood circulation.
It is advisable to practice these tips in order to ensure that your scalp remains a healthy environment for your hair.

As we know the most common type of hair loss in men is Androgenetic Alopecia. Do you know that smoking may also cause hair loss? Let us find out how smoking is related to hair loss.
In order to prevent from hair loss, the cell in hair follicles must be fed with sufficient oxygen and nutrients for hair growth. However, smoking may destroy hair follicles, damage the papilla that circulate blood and hormones to stimulate hair growth or increase production of the hormone estrogen, which may counter the effects of androgen.
How does smoking affect the blood supply in our body?
1. The nicotine produced after smoking will cause an increase in adrenaline. As a result, this causes the increase of blood pressure and suddenly makes the heart beat faster.
2. The nicotine will cause blood vessels to constrict and makes it harder for the heart to pump blood through the arteries. As a result, this impacts the blood circulatory system.
3. Smoking produces carbon monoxide which inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen.
A study has been carried out in Taiwan related to this issue. The researchers have discovered that Asian men who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day have faced the risk of accelerating their hair loss.
