“There are many causes of hair thinning; genetics, age, hormonal changes, breakage and over use of product,” says celebrity hairstylist, Allen Edwards. “However, there are ways to prevent and slow hair thinning.” Here are some of Allen’s tips and product recommendations to help slow hair thinning and keep your tresses thick!

1. Keep your scalp’s roots clean. Once the root clogs, (due to dirt, not washing frequently, product use) the hair follicle will die, and thin and eventually fall out

2. Don’t over shampoo. If you have fine hair, be especially careful of over shampooing, especially if your hair tends to be dry. This will only further dry out your hair causing breakage and thinning.

3. Be picky about your products. Many lower-end products can actually clog your pores and cause follicle irritation. That being said, overuse of any product can also cause the follicles to become clogged.

4. Don’t over brush. Although we all need to brush our hair, over brushing will definitely thin, and may even damage your hair.

5. Keep stress levels LOW! Stress, tension, nerves and anxiety are a common cause of thinning and hair loss.

6. Treat your scalp right. Try to get frequent scalp treatments as this will help open the follicles and help in the regrowth of new hair.

7. Take vitamins. Raphael Reboh of Femme Coiffure Hair Spa in Miami Beach suggests Renee Furterer VITALFAN vitamins and has trusted the product for 30 years for clients who want to take preventative measures in thinning hair and for those who need to reverse the signs of thinning. One vitamin per day nourishes the hair within and its concentrated formula encourages healthy hair growth

Additionally, Hair Essentials™ is a breakthrough proprietary blend of more than 20 ingredients, including 12 herbs and 10 essential nutrients. It is an all-natural, gluten-free, effective and gentle formulation that (regardless of the cause of hair loss).

 8. Get a great haircut. The right cut can add instant life and a lush illusion to hair. Raphael suggests asking your stylist for long layers and to avoid any chops or short layered styles. Long layers give fullness, thickness and body to a hairstyle. A lot of stylists provide shorter layers for clients who want to mask thinning; however, the short layers can actually make the hair appear thinner if it isn’t cut properly.

9. Style smartly. Avoid chemical treatments like dying and perms, which can lead to weaker hair that is more susceptible to breakage and thin hair, reminds Andre Walker, seven-time Emmy winning personal stylist to Oprah, and founder of his own line of hair products. Color, perms and all chemical treatments on the hair, especially ones that touch the scalp, run the risk of permanently scaring the scalp, which causes hair to stop growing in that area.

10. Be mindful of your health within. Remember, too, Walker says, a poor diet can lead to hair thinning and eventually baldness. Make sure you eat a well-balanced diet that includes lean protein and vegetables. Avoid stressful situations and focus on relaxation. Constant stress can lead to the thinning of your hair. Keep stress at bay by getting at least 7.5 hours of sleep a night and exercising regularly.

Thinning hair and hair loss doesn’t discriminate, and can affect both men and women, wealthy and poor, all races, young or old. And the degree of hair loss can vary greatly – from increased periods of shedding to complete baldness. Since there are multiple possible causes of thinning hair and hair loss, and a firm diagnosis can be hard to find, it’s understandable that one can feel frustrated, depressed, embarrassed or afraid. We hope you’ll take these expert tips to heart!
