Stop Hair Loss Naturally – Mazcal Naturals

Why does hair fall out? The hair on your head goes through a life cycle that involves growth, resting, and shedding. It’s natural to lose some hair, but if you experience sudden loss, patchy thinning, or overall shedding, don’t panic—keep reading.

Some shedding is temporary and can respond well to changes in diet, natural remedies, or lifestyle adjustments. By age 40, both men and women may experience hereditary hair loss, such as androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness) or female pattern baldness.

Other Causes Of Hair Loss

Medical conditions such as surgery, alopecia, scalp infections, or hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania)
Hormonal changes from pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid disorders
Medications for cancer (chemotherapy), high blood pressure, depression, or arthritis
Physical or emotional stress
Styling practices including tight ponytails or cornrows

Understanding Hair

Hair follicles are tiny openings in the skin that grow hair. The average person has about 100,000 follicles on the scalp. The root is composed of protein cells and nourished by blood vessels. Hair grows out of the skin and is nourished by sebaceous glands that produce oil for the scalp and strands.

Hair Growth Cycles

Anagen (Growth) Phase: Hair actively grows from the root.
Catagen (Transition) Phase: Growth slows, and the follicle shrinks.
Telogen (Resting) Phase: Old hair falls out, making way for new hair from the same follicle.

Hair follicles go through these phases independently, creating a continuous cycle.

Diet Tips To Prevent Hair Loss

Follow an alkaline diet rich in raw, organic vegetables and herbs like rosemary, parsley, basil, and leafy greens.
Consume protein-rich foods such as eggs, nuts, beans, fish, chia, herbal Maz-mix, chicken, and turkey.
Include vitamin-rich foods like sweet potatoes, sweet peppers, spinach (vitamin A); berries and citrus (vitamin C); and foods high in vitamin D, iron, zinc, and selenium.
Biotin (vitamin H or B7) supports fatty acid synthesis essential for the hair life cycle.

Hair Habits That Support Growth

Washing: Cleanse hair daily with an herbal or natural shampoo to maintain scalp health. Avoid synthetic shampoos that can dry hair and cause breakage.
Styling: Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on roots. Let your hair air dry. Limit heat from curling irons or straighteners.
Processing: Avoid chemical treatments like perms or coloring agents that contain ammonia or peroxide.
