3 Ways To Reduce Excessive Hair Shedding

Our hair sheds 50-100 sheds per day. And as annoying as hair shedding can be, it is entirely normal. However, when the body sheds more than that amount, it is considered excessive hair shedding or telogen effluvium ( telogen effluvium arises during the telogen or resting stage of the hair cycle). Now, there is a difference between hair shedding and hair loss. Hair loss occurs when something stops hairs from growing, a condition known as anagen effluvium (Anagen effluvium refers to hair shedding that arises during the anagen or growth stage of the hair cycle). If you’re experiencing excessive hair shedding or hair loss, there could be an underlying (medical) issue.

What can you do if you experience this? Tanya S. Lane, a cosmetic chemist, teaches her followers three ways to combat it. According to Lane, when you’re dealing with excessive hair shedding, you should try the following:

1. Green tea rinses – Green tea contains catechins, organic compounds that promote hair growth and inhibit hormones associated with hair loss.
2. Increase Vitamin D – Many individuals who experience excessive shedding are usually Vitamin D deficient. Adding a Vitamin D supplement can improve shedding. Lane recommends that you go to your doctor to have your levels tested.
3. Reduce stress – If you can reduce stress, you can reduce excessive shedding.
