After hair loss, your scalp may be extra sensitive because the skin that is now exposed has been covered by hair for so long. Hair provides a layer of protection from the elements and when that is lost, measures should be taken to avoid undue exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. Applying sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays will help to ensure that your scalp is protected against sun exposure. We love Elta Block for protecting all of your skin from the sun’s damaging rays.
A scalp massage with a nourishing oil (such as coconut, rosemary, lavender, or almond oil) will increase the blood flow to the surface of the skin on your head and your hair follicles. Rubbing and kneading your scalp warms the skin and boosts circulation so the cells in the follicles get plenty of nutrients which in turn maximise hair growth potential.
Many individuals feel more secure and confident when wearing something to cover up their hair loss. Women and men without hair can often feel vulnerable and uncomfortable when in public. Wearing a hat, scarf or other head covering can help disguise hair loss and provide an emotional sense of security and the feeling of replacing something that has been lost, as well as restore confidence.
