Recognize how you feel

• It’s very common to ignore how hair loss makes us feel, but take a moment and identify the specific emotions going through you. Are you anxious about how much hair you have lost? Does it make you struggle with body positivity?
  
  

  By identifying the problems and naming them, you can look for solutions.

  
  

• Take action
  See your doctor specifically for your hair loss. It may be that the problem is being caused by a thyroid condition or a lack in vitamins, and reversing your hair loss is as simple as a new medication. If this is the case, not only will your problem be solved, but you’ll also be healthier since you found out the health problem.
•  

  If there is nothing physically wrong, consider consulting a hair loss clinic. Hair loss clinics may be able to make recommendations to stop or reverse your hair loss, helping you cope with the emotional side.

• Exercise
  Feeling bad about your appearance is a major part of the emotional side of hair loss. Leading professionals recommend doing other things to help improve your self image when you’re feeling bad about your hair.
•  

  Good ways to make you feel better include exercising, and dressing nicely. You’ll feel better about yourself when you improve your appearance, or do something constructive and healthy for your body, which may reduce the emotional aspect of hair loss.

  
  

• Contact a hair loss clinic for help
  Hair loss can strike real and painful emotional blows. It’s important to recognize this, and also take steps to do something about it. Contacting a hair loss clinic is the first step in addressing the issue, and even just picking up the phone can make you feel better about yourself and your body.
