If you're like I used to be you probably wake up in the morning and check your pillows for amounts of hair that have fallen out. You check your comb and brush after every use and try to count the number of hairs contained therein. You put on your glasses and check the number of hairs in the shower after every wash. You're anxious, nervous, and scared. How much will go today, and how soon will I begin to look bald to others? You worry about the impression you will make on your boss, future bosses, friends, co-workers, and even strangers who see you in public places.

What a horrible way to live! If hair loss is beginning to be a concern worry for you, you can do something about it! First, be sure to check with your physician to be certain that there is not some physiological cause which can be remedied. Some diseases have hair loss as early symptoms, and you want to know if you might be seeing symptoms of the onset of diabetes or Lupus. Bacterial and fungal infections can cause hair loss, and are simple to cure. Stress, anxiety and major life traumas can cause it. Pregnancy can cause it. Surgery can cause it. All of these things are either temporary or controllable, and that should bring you relief.

If none of the above apply to you, and you are among the millions of adults who are just genetically predisposed to early hair loss, you need to look for help elsewhere. Here are a few tips that will help:

1. Take especially good care of yourself. Be sure to exercise regularly and eat a diet that is balanced and healthy. Diet and exercise have a huge impact on your overall health and can slow your loss of hair.

2. Reduce the stress in your life! You've always know it, and it's true: stress or anxiety can cause hair loss. If you have a lot of unavoidable stress in your life try to counterbalance it with stress-relieving techniques such as meditation, yoga or jogging.

3. Take care how you treat your hair. Do not pull at it, comb or brush it harshly, or use harsh shampoos. Reduce use of colorants and other harsh chemicals. Try to manipulate your hair as little as possible. Reduce the use of blow dryers and curling irons.

4. Experiment with the products available on the market to reduce hair loss. Most can be purchase from the privacy of your own home, and the earlier in life that you start to look for a product that works for you the better your results will be. As an example, a product like Provillus should be used at the first sign of an increase in hair loss.

5. Investigate natural remedies such as Saw Palmetto, essential oils and herbs. These are available at health/nutrition retailers or on many Internet sites and again, you will need to experiment to find what works best for you. Your body is unique and will respond differently to different treatments. But remember this: whatever the level of your hair loss, if it bothers you then you owe it to yourself to explore your options. Start experimenting early and find what is right for you.
