Lets see how you can stop hair loss by taking few precautions. These small steps will not completely stop hair loss but would certainly help you in fighting hair loss in a better way.
90% of the hair follicles are in growing phase and 10% are in resting phase. The growing phase "Anagen" varies from 4-8 years and determines the length of individual hairs. 70-80 hair follicles shed daily. New hair replaces the falling hairs. In abnormal conditions these rate is quiet high.
Lets see at few steps to stop hair loss:
1. Take head bath regularly to get rid of scalp excretions and dust. Women could wash their hairs 2-3 times in a week. 2. Natural shampoos are great for hairs and prolonged use of chemical shampoos could be fatal to hairs. Choose a hair shampoo with pH between 4.5-5.5. 3. Conditioners are great for hairs but frequent use causes hair shaft to swell and damage cuticle. 4. Vigorous brushing could also damage hairs. Use combs with wide tooth to avoid traction. 5. Dry hairs naturally and never use heat from curling irons or blow-dyers. 6. Try to reduce your stress level. Stress causes production of androgens, which is one of the major causes for hair loss and baldness. 7. Add milk, green vegetables, meat, jaggery, dates, carrot leaves, apple, and banana to your diet. They all help in fighting hair loss.
Above steps would certainly help you by great extent in fighting hair loss and you could stop hair loss.

Hey there!
I'm a 25 year old guy and i'm losing hair like crazy. I'm also looking around for good solutions to my hair loss problem. I've been using Hibiscus Hair Oil for a while now... it does seem to help a little bit... my hair seems healthier but it doesn't help to regrow hair.
I also recently came across a product called AidooAid (www.aidooaid.com). I don't have the money to try it out right now but as soon as I do, I'll let you know how it goes.
Keep up the good work with the blog. Will drop in regularly.
With LoveLight,
AJ
