What to do if a fifty-year-old woman loses her hair

Women in their 50s may be in menopause, which is an important period for women. There will be obvious changes in psychological and physiological aspects, which may easily lead to depression and other negative emotions. Changes in hormone secretion may also lead to some health problems. Hair loss is also prone to occur at this time. In daily life, 50-year-old women should regulate their mood and supplement estrogen and protein appropriately, which will help alleviate hair loss.

1. Don’t wash your hair too often, but comb it frequently.

Washing your hair too frequently is not good for the healthy growth of hair and will make hair loss more serious. Controlling the number of times you wash your hair can help prevent hair loss. In winter, you should wash your hair 2-3 times a week. In summer, you can increase the number of times according to your sweating situation, but not too frequently.

In addition, combing your hair a hundred times every morning and evening can stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, increase the melanin particles in the medulla and cortex of the hair, improve the nutrition and cell activity of the pigment cells in the hair bulb, and promote the smooth growth of hair.

2. Supplement plant estrogen.

Due to the degeneration of ovarian function, estrogen secretion is not as good as before, which leads to menstrual changes, hot flashes, irritability, insomnia, hair loss, calcium deficiency and other phenomena. Therefore, regulating estrogen levels is the root cause of hair cutting. In normal times, eat more foods rich in natural plant estrogen. Soybeans and soy products are very good choices. Individuals with severely low estrogen levels can take estrogen medications under the guidance of a doctor, but must not supplement on their own.

3. Supplement protein.

Protein is the basic substance for maintaining hair growth. It is a hair growth promoter. High-quality protein includes fresh fish, meat, eggs, soy products, milk, etc. After entering the intestine, it is converted into amino acids, absorbed by the hair papilla at the root of the hair, and synthesized into keratin. After keratinization, it becomes our hair. But for menopausal women, due to the decline in metabolism, the overall calorie intake should be adjusted in the diet, and animal protein should not be consumed excessively.

4. Eat foods rich in vitamins.

Lack of vitamin A can cause hair loss and dandruff, and vitamin A is found in large quantities in foods such as carrots, spinach, lettuce, mangoes, animal liver, and fish. Vitamin B can promote scalp metabolism and is mostly found in fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Vitamin E can resist hair aging, promote cell division, and make hair grow. You can eat more lettuce, cabbage, black sesame seeds, etc.

5. Nourish the kidneys and improve hair loss.

When women reach around 45 years old, their kidney qi gradually becomes weak. Chinese medicine believes that menopausal syndrome is a manifestation of the gradual decline of kidney qi and insufficient kidney essence. Because the kidneys store essence and are responsible for growth, development and reproduction, women in menopause will experience symptoms such as the gradual cessation of menstruation, decreased reproductive ability, insomnia and forgetfulness, irritability, hair loss, hot flashes and sweating.

6. Keep a happy mood.

Being in a state of mental tension all the time is a typical symptom of menopausal women, and these adverse factors are important factors leading to hair loss. Therefore, menopausal women should pay attention to adjusting their mental state and must understand that menopause is a necessary process in life and there is nothing special about it. In normal times, you can cultivate some meaningful hobbies, which can not only divert your attention, but also cultivate your sentiments and help you go through menopause more smoothly.
