How to wash your hair when you have severe hair loss caused by kidney deficiency?

We all know that hair is the essence of the kidneys. If the kidney essence is sufficient, the hair will be thick, black and shiny. However, some people have hair loss at an early age. Hair loss may be caused by many reasons. So what is the cause of hair loss due to kidney deficiency? How to wash your hair?

Causes of hair loss due to kidney deficiency:

Kidney essence turns into blood, which nourishes hair; kidney essence turns into vital energy, which stimulates hair growth.

Kidney essence nourishes the hair through the Du meridian and meridian qi. The Du meridian branches out from the spine and belongs to the kidneys. Therefore, the nutrition of hair comes from qi and blood, while its vitality is rooted in the kidneys. If the human body has sufficient kidney essence, the hair will develop normally and appear thick, shiny and smooth; otherwise, the hair will be sparse, withered and dull.

Kidney yang deficiency is not exclusive to men, and kidney yin deficiency is not exclusive to women. Just as both men and women have both male and female hormones, men and women can experience kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency respectively. The relationship between kidney yang and kidney cathode is like the two sex hormones in the human body but not completely the same. Kidney deficiency will lead to hyperactivity of Yang (excessive fire). When Yang declines, Yin will flourish. Excessive secretion of male hormones will inevitably lead to low estrogen levels, and low estrogen levels will inevitably lead to high male hormone levels. The two are mutually restrictive and interdependent. It is very similar to the yin-yang relationship in traditional Chinese medicine theory. The typical phenomenon of kidney yang hyperactivity caused by kidney yin deficiency in men is hypersexuality. The typical phenomenon of kidney yang deficiency in women is "cold uterus and infertility". It is wrong to say that kidney yang deficiency is exclusive to men and kidney yin deficiency is exclusive to women! Kidney yin deficiency is exclusive to hair loss, while kidney yang deficiency has nothing to do with hair loss.

How to wash your hair if hair loss is severe

Step 1: Comb your hair before shampooing. Combing can promote blood circulation in the head skin and reduce the chance of hair breakage during shampooing. It is a good way to care for your hair. Use a large-tooth comb to comb from the ends of your hair upwards, repeat several times, and comb your hair until it is smooth.

Step 2: The water temperature for shampooing should be around 40°. Wet your hair first, then pour an appropriate amount of shampoo on the palm of your hand. After rubbing out the foam, gently massage your hair. If you feel it is not clean enough, repeat it once. Note that you should use enough shampoo to produce enough foam to cover all the hair.

Step 3: After conditioning your hair and rinsing it thoroughly, first use your fingers to remove excess water, then massage your head skin for a few minutes. If your hair feels dry, pour the conditioner into the palm of your hand and rub it evenly, rubbing it from the middle of your hair to your entire hair. Finally, use a comb to comb the conditioner evenly.

Step 4: Rinse and let the hair fall naturally, use your fingertips to massage, do not massage the hair too hard, wash it thoroughly twice, try not to leave sticky substances, if the hair is not cleaned thoroughly, the hair will easily get dirty

Step 5: Do not use a dry towel to dry your hair. Instead, use a large towel to absorb all the water on your hair. Then comb your hair with a large-tooth comb. Be gentle when combing your hair. It is best to let it air dry naturally. If you use a hair dryer, be sure to choose a medium-speed wind and blow it until it is 80% dry.
