5 Most Common Hair Loss Triggers (And How To Prevent It Now)
By now, you know that our goal at iRESTORE is to help you with your hair growth journey. And through our products, we strive to be your go-to for your hair growth needs. However, it’s equally as important for you to know some things that can cause you to lose your hair. It’s normal to lose strands of hair daily. But if you’re noticing any sudden, major changes with your hair loss, there could be some deeper issues that you may want to address to prevent further damage. There are many reasons why you might be seeing sudden hair loss, but we’re going to focus on some of the most common causes. Certain causes of hair loss are uncontrollable, and some can be handled personally, while others may require you to seek professional assistance. 1. Stress We’ve unfortunately all been here! Life sometimes gets the best of us and we have to maneuver through tough times. And although we don’t intend for it to happen, it’s important to understand the effects stress can have on our hair. Stress can cause inflammation, which can lead to hair loss, and traumatic events like an accident, illness or emotional shock can jumpstart the issue. According to Mayo Clinic, there are three types of hair loss that can be related to high-stress levels: telogen effluvium, trichotillomania, and alopecia areata. Telogen effluvium occurs when stress pushes large amounts of hair follicles into a resting phase leading to potential, sudden hair loss within a few months. Trichotillomania is an urge to pull out hair from your scalp or other areas of your body. For many, hair pulling can be a method used to deal with stress, loneliness, boredom, or frustration. Alopecia areata happens when the body’s immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. The good news here is that stress and hair loss don’t have to be permanent if steps are taken to manage your stress. So, if you notice sudden or patchy hair loss or more than usual hair loss when combing or washing your hair, talk to your doctor to ensure you don’t have a medical condition that requires treatment. 2. Poor Nutrition I know your parents always told you to eat your greens! A lot can fall under the poor nutrition category like not eating enough, following a restrictive diet, and not getting enough hearty, healthy foods. Dramatically restricting your calorie intake means that you aren’t getting enough essential nutrients, like protein. If continued over a period of time, this can lead to the condition discussed above, telogen effluvium. The good news here is that adopting a healthier lifestyle can reverse this type of hair loss and your hair can grow back. At iRESTORE, we specialize in hair, but these suggestions are, of course, valid for your overall health. Be sure to eat a combination of vitamin-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and healthy whole grains. 3. Genetics Some people will see hair loss thanks to their parents, and their parents, and so on. Thanks, mom and dad! Heredity is one of the most common causes of hair loss and the gene can come from either the mother’s or father’s side, although you’re more likely to be affected if both parents had hair loss. Makes sense but it doesn’t seem fair! To be sure, a scalp biopsy can show if your hair follicles have been replaced with smaller follicles. If so, it’s a safe determinant of hereditary hair loss. 4. Prescription Drugs Although essential for many people, it’s pivotal to note that certain prescription drugs can potentially lead to hair loss. Just to name a few, some people have seen hair loss when using certain antidepressants and high blood pressure medicines. If you are starting to see sudden loss after taking prescribed medication, consult with your doctor, as there might be alternative medications that you can switch to. You can also add our delicious Biotin Vitamin Gummies to your daily healthy routine when taking other prescriptions. Made with natural ingredients, our vitamins are made to nourish your hair and help restore your hair to its former health. 5. Using Poor Quality Hair Care You want to hold on to your precious locks, so why not provide your hair with the best products? Certain hair products can contain low-grade oils and other ingredients that clog your hair follicles, causing strands to fall out. So, invest in some quality products like our Thickening Duo. Our duo revitalizes hair follicles and moisturizes dry scalp and repairs damaged hair. It is professionally formulated to infuse nutrients into every strand and repairs dry, brittle hair. And our iRESTORE Elite, Professional and Essential are clinically proven and FDA-cleared methods of low-level red light therapy used to combat hair loss and thinning. When it comes to poor-quality products, chemicals obviously fall right in line. While many of us love that extra splash of color, it isn’t always the best idea for everyone. Hair straighteners, relaxers, and other powerful treatments can quite literally burn your hair. So, the next time you are looking for a change, consult with your hairdresser on ways to get the look you’re going for while avoiding damaging treatments. Overall These five reasons are some of the most common causes for hair loss but PLEASE do some additional research if you think that you might be personally experiencing loss due to a different, specific reason, and be confident in knowing that there are often ways to get help.

A 5-Step Guide To Boosting Hair Growth
Are you struggling with slow hair growth? Do you want to have longer, thicker, and healthier hair? If so, you’re not alone. Many people wish they could grow their hair faster, but unfortunately, there is no magic solution for hair growth. However, there are some things you can do to promote hair growth and improve the health of your hair. In this blog post, we’ll share 5 hair tips for boosting hair growth. 5 Hair Growth Tips 1. Practice good hair care Good hair care is essential for healthy hair growth. This includes washing your hair regularly, using a gentle shampoo and conditioner, and avoiding tight hairstyles that can pull on your hair. It’s also important to use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with soft bristles to avoid damaging your hair. 2. Use hair growth products Many hair growth products are available in the market that claim to promote hair growth. Some of our top-selling products include Thickening Shampoos, Conditioners, and supplements, such as our high-quality Biotin Vitamin Gummies! These products often contain ingredients such as biotin, keratin, and collagen that can help strengthen your hair and promote hair growth. Don’t forget to check out our Low-Level Laser Therapy Devices. 3. Maintain a healthy hairstyle Heat styling tools such as flat irons, curling irons, and hairdryers can damage your hair and lead to breakage. Heat can cause your hair to become dry, brittle, and more prone to breakage. If you must use heat styling tools, use them sparingly, and make sure to apply a heat protectant spray to your hair before using them. 4. Nutrition is crucial to your health Your diet has a significant impact on your hair growth. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of protein, vitamins, and minerals can help your hair grow faster and stronger. Foods that are rich in protein include eggs, chicken, fish, and legumes. For healthy hair growth, vitamins like vitamin D, C, and E, as well as minerals like zinc and iron, are essential. 5. Massage your scalp Massaging your scalp can help improve blood flow to your hair follicles, which can promote hair growth. You can do this by using your fingertips to massage your scalp in a circular motion for a few minutes each day. You can also use a scalp massager or a hairbrush with soft bristles to massage your scalp. While there is no magic solution for hair growth, following these tips can help promote healthy hair growth and improve the health of your hair. Remember that healthy hair takes time and patience, but with the right care and attention, you can achieve your hair growth goals. Curious if iRESTORE will work for you.
