i've heard that trimming your hair every month or so helps it from falling out. you also should get proper nutrients for your hair like, vitamin A, certain B vitamins, the vitamin biotin, vitamin C, copper, iron, zinc, protein, and water.

Vitamin A
liver
fish oil
eggs
fortified milk
other foods fortified with vitamin A

Vitamin B6, Folic acid, Vitamin B12
chicken
fish
pork
liver
kidney
soybeans

Seborrheic dermatitis

eggs
liver
yeast breads
cereals

Vitamin C
citrus fruits
berries
melons
peppers
dark green leafy vegetables
potatoes
tomatoes

Copper
organ meats, especially liver
seafood
seeds
nuts

Iron
Iron?s main job is to carry oxygen in the hemoglobin of red blood cells. Iron deficiency can lead to a condition called anemia and can lead to possible hair loss or increased hair shedding.

Zinc
Dandruff and hair loss are both conditions associated with zinc deficiency. Zinc is a mineral that promotes cell reproduction and tissue growth and repair. Zinc also functions in the maintenance of the oil-secreting glands attached to hair follicles. The reference daily intake of zinc is 15 milligrams for the average adult. Good sources of zinc include foods of animal origin, including seafood. Eggs and milk also supply zinc in smaller amounts. Whole-grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes contain zinc, but in a form that is less available to the body.

Protein
Protein is needed by every cell in the body, including the cells needed in normal hair growth. Without adequate protein intake, the body cannot efficiently make new hair to replace the hair that has shed. Protein comes from:

meat
poultry
fish
eggs
milk
cheese
yogurt
soy products

Water
Water is one of the most important nutrients essential for life. Proper hydration is an important factor in healthy hair and in promoting good health. The recommended amount of water to drink each day is 64 ounces or eight 8-ounce glasses. Every cell and every system in the body uses water to function properly. Water is involved in the transport of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and many other nutrients.


Other Reasons for Hair Loss

Nutritional deficiencies can be a reason for accelerated hair shedding or temporary hair loss. Conditions that may contribute to poor nutrition and cause hair loss as a side effect include eating disorders such as anorexia. Anorexia can cause severe malnutrition and cause a high proportion of hair follicles to stop their growth cycle. After several months, these hairs shed and the body is not equipped nutritionally to grow back new ones. Normal hair growth returns with adequate nutrition intake.

Rapid weight loss is another reason for accelerated hair shedding. Dropping weight too quickly and/or participating in a fad diet that is not nutritionally sound can cause imbalances in the body and cause increased hair shedding. Following a healthy weight-loss program can prevent this from happening.

Wink Hair Transplantation Basics for beginners

Hair transplantation is today considered one of the most convenient and affordable methods of medical hair restoration. No wonder it is so popular among the balding masses, though there are several alternatives to the hair transplantation method of medical hair restoration.

History of hair transplantation:- Hair transplantation surgery at first conducted in Japan around the 1930s, using small grafts to treat damaged eyebrows and lashes. After some time one American dermatologist Orentreich proved that donor grafts not only survived in the recipient areas, but actually thrived there, just as if they were natural hair. At first all surgeons transplanted only small grafts, measuring not more than 2 to 4 mm. But subsequently surgeons in Brazil came up with ?micrografting? and ?minigrafting? techniques, which are now familiar to us as follicular unit transplantation.

Pre-surgery precautions:- Before hair transplantation can begin the patient gets to choose between single and multiple sessions. The surgeon also provides a list of dos and don?ts he/she must stay off alcohol and medicines not prescribed by him.

Post-operative care:- The operated area must not be exposed to sunlight for some days after the surgery and shampoos and chemicals shunned. It sometimes happens that the displaced hair starts falling off from the recipient zone. This should not frighten you, it being part of the process of hair restoration. Regrowth resumes a few months later. After hair transplantation the patient loses hair only in areas where no hair had been transplanted. Some people start with medication, and not finding it effective enough move on to the hair transplantation treatment. It is the only permanent method of hair restoration on the scalp.


Cost of hair transplants:- The cost of hair transplants depends on where you get it done and the surgeon?s fees. The average cost of hair transplants ranges between $3 and $10 per graft and the number of grafts needed depends on the size of the balding area. Usually patients need between 500 and 2000 grafts, their cost ranging between $1500 to $20,000. The medical charges in hair transplantation treatment depends on how skilled the surgeon is and where you get it done.
