Your hairstyle affects the way you look. Sporting a new haircut or color can change a person's appearance and even how other people see you.

However, with age comes the realization that not everything will stay the same, even your full head of hair. You might be frightened that a few falling strands may lead to baldness if you are not careful, but can it really lead to that? What are the signs you need to look out for? And does gender or age matter in terms of hair loss?

Anyone can lose hair on their head. People normally lose about 50 to 100 scalp hairs each day. Both men and women can experience hair loss or alopecia, regardless of ethnicity.

In the Philippines, about 50% of men experience some sort of hair loss by the age of 40. About one out of five men who are suffering from hair loss see themselves as less attractive which results in losing confidence and esteem at the onset of hair loss.

For women, about one out of three experience hair loss. In this case, it is mostly associated with hair-thinning and not baldness. Common hairstyles for women such as a tight ponytail or a bun, along with genetics and hormonal issues, stress and anxiety may cause hair thinning. Women affected by hair loss may sometimes experience psychological implications such as depression and veering away from social situations due to the state of their crowning glory.

Other reasons for hair loss in both men and women can be illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss, or iron deficiency.

So before you panic upon seeing a few loose hair strands, take a look at these tips to take good care of your hair today.

Tip #1: Love your natural locks

Keeping your natural hair color and texture in its original state is the key to preventing hair loss or further aggravating it for people who are affected by genetics, hormonal imbalances, and mental health issues.

Chemical coloring and frequent use of different styling procedures may also affect the health of your hair. So try keeping your adventurous hair goals to a minimum and learn to appreciate your natural locks as it is.

Tip #2: Brush with care

Be gentle when brushing your hair. A wide-tooth comb will get rid of tangles when the hair is wet. The strands are fragile and prone to breakage in this state, especially for those with long hair, so be sure to handle it with care. Also, avoid drying your hair by vigorously rubbing it with a towel.

After drying, use a moderately stiff, natural-bristle brush and stroke from the scalp to the ends as this will distribute your hair's natural oil evenly.

Tip #3: Choose your hair products wisely

Choose a product that is not too harsh on your hair and scalp. A hair product made from natural ingredients is recommended as the ones with harsh chemicals may further damage the hair. When picking a shampoo, look for one that is made specifically for your hair type as that will help you take care of it properly.

But if you have followed all these tips and are still experiencing hair loss, instead of wearing a wig, hiding from the crowd, or going for costly implants, there is a nature-based treatment that you can try.
