What triggers female hair loss

According to trichologist and Nioxin ambassador Mark Blake, these are the most common causes.

· Genetics: This type of hair loss is known as androgenetic alopecia.

· Health: If you are unwell this has a massive impact on your hair. Inflammation within the body is a common cause of hair loss, as are conditions such as thyroid disorders and autoimmune diseases.

· Nutrition: The hair follicle requires a lot of energy to grow optimal hair hence why good nutritional health is vital.

· Stress: This increases the body’s production of adrenaline and cortisol (our ‘fight or flight’ hormones), disrupting the hair’s natural growth cycle and leading to excessive shedding.

· Medication: Some prescription drugs can stop the absorption of certain nutrients.

· Menopause: Can lead to miniaturisation of the hair follicle leading to hair thinning, hair breakage, or hair loss. Some hair follicles are particularly sensitive to androgens, a group of hormones that include testosterone and androstenedione. During the onset of the menopause, oestrogen levels start to fall, and the balance is disrupted between oestrogen and testosterone.

Dieting the quickest way to lose your hair!

A healthy balanced diet is the best way to lose weight and keep your hair

Mark Blake is an Internationally recognised Harley Street trichologist, in this article he shares his knowledge about the impact of dieting and associated hair loss. It takes around 160 calories to grow 1 gram of hair, which is equivalent to a 35 minute walk or a 22 minute aerobics class. To grow optimum hair it requires a bountiful supply of energy in addition to a good supply of protein (hair is made up of around 85% protein) and minerals and vitamins.

When you start a diet you may experience hair shedding around 2 months later and the shedding may last for around 6 months or longer depending on the restrictive diet that you are on. This form of hair loss is called Telogen effluvium and won’t stop until you remove the causative factors, such as eating a well-balanced diet. A good vitamin and mineral supplement may help reduce hair loss if your body has depleted your vitamin and mineral reserves.

Hair is the second most prolific cell producer in the body after bone marrow, the cells in the follicle are very active metabolically and require a lot of energy for optimum hair growth. To put it into context you grow between 0.3mm - 0.5mm of hair a day, you have between 100,000 – 150,000 hairs on your head. If you multiply all those 0.3mm - 0.5mm by 100,000-150,000 (hairs on your head) that means you will grow around 36 meters of hair in a day, that’s 1Km in a month (if all those little bits were joined together end on end). Hair growth requires a bountiful supply of energy units (Adenosine triphosphate - ATP) in addition to protein, minerals, and vitamins. So, eating a well-balanced protein enriched diet is the best way to give you the hair you deserve.

MAKE THE MOST OF THE SEASONS BY FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES

neil@websitesorted.com (Neil Kinnerly) — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 13:40:27 GMT

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH SITE VISITORS AND BOOST LOYALTY

There are so many good reasons to communicate with site visitors. Tell them about sales and new products or update them with tips and information.

Here are some reasons to make blogging part of your regular routine.

Blogging is an easy way to engage with site visitors

Writing a blog post is easy once you get the hang of it. Posts don’t need to be long or complicated. Just write about what you know, and do your best to write well.

Show customers your personality

When you write a blog post, you can really let your personality shine through. This can be a great tool for showing your distinct personality.

Blogging is a terrific form of communication

Blogs are a great communication tool. They tend to be longer than social media posts, which gives you plenty of space for sharing insights, handy tips and more.

It’s a great way to support and boost SEO

Search engines like sites that regularly post fresh content, and a blog is a great way of doing this. With relevant metadata for every post so search engines can find your content.

Drive traffic to your site

Every time you add a new post, people who have subscribed to it will have a reason to come back to your site. If the post is a good read, they’ll share it with others, bringing even more traffic!

Blogging is free

Maintaining a blog on your site is absolutely free. You can hire bloggers if you like or assign regularly blogging tasks to everyone in your company.

A natural way to build your brand

A blog is a wonderful way to build your brand’s distinct voice. Write about issues that are related to your industry and your customers.

TIPS FOR WRITING GREAT POSTS THAT INCREASE YOUR SITE TRAFFIC

neil@websitesorted.com (Neil Kinnerly) — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 13:40:25 GMT

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
