In part the loss is natural, because the process of aging-related genes that make the most of your hair disappear in a "programmed". In part the other hair loss is not natural, due to improper hair care. The following ten tips can prevent unnatural hair loss :

1. Combing and brushing hair. Combing and brushing your hair every day is not only tidy up and cleaning the hair, but also increases the blood supply to activate the activity of cells of the scalp. Use a comb with wide-spaced teeth and a fluffy brush.
2. Use the right shampoo. Choose a shampoo for dry hair, normal, oily, dandruff, etc., according to the condition of your hair. Wash your hair at least twice a week. Always wash with shampoo after swimming in the sea or the pool to get rid of salt and chlorine that can damage the hair follicle. Make sure you always rinse hair thoroughly after shampooing.
3. Use a conditioner. The use of a conditioner after shampooing reduce the effort needed to comb your hair and make it more manageable. The use of a conditioner is necessary, especially if your hair is dry.
4. Dry the wet hair and don't be too hard rub hair with a towel. When hair is wet, its structure is more fragile and should be avoided to comb or brush too strong.
5. Vary your hairstyles. If you wear a hairstyle that requires a pull on the hair should be interspersed with looser hairstyles, to avoid the constant pull that causes tension on the hair follicle, so hair can fall out.
6. Maintain the adequacy of protein. Because the hair consists of protein (keratin), it is important for you to follow a diet enough protein to maintain hair production. Protein found in meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, cereals, soy and nuts.
7. Don't be obsessed with hair problems. And don't touch or pull hair constantly.

The Cause of Baldness in Men

The Cause of Baldness in Men - Baldness is something that is avoided by most men in this world. Various products that claimed to overcome the problem of baldness can be easily obtained in the market today, although these products are not 100 percent effective.

Baldness in men is caused by many factors. Genetics, lifestyle, stress levels, and hair care products can be one of several contributing factors.

Recently, researchers discovered a new cause of hair loss problems that is often experienced by men. American researchers found a protein that is considered as a trigger of hair loss.

According to the study (published in Science Translational Medicine), men with high levels of protein PDG2 (prostagladin D2) on the scalp are more likely to experience the baldness problems. PDG2 Protein is a protein that can inhibit hair growth.

The researchers analyzed the hair follicles of 22 men who experience baldness problems. The researchers also took tissue samples on the scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia (the most common cause of baldness in men) and then measure the level of the gene.

The researchers found a high PDG2 protein content on the part of the bald head. PGD2 protein content is three times more than is found in the part of the scalp that are still widely covered by hair.

"Basically, our study shows an increase in the number of prostaglin protein on the scalp of a bald man, and this inhibits hair growth. So, we have to identify the target first before treating the problem of baldness in men," said lead researcher Dr. George Cotsarelis.
