When facing the issue of shallow hair follicles and frequent hair loss, improvements can be made in the following areas: 1. Diagnosis and Treatment: Visit a hospital to determine the specific cause of hair loss, such as seborrheic alopecia, tinea capitis, or hypothyroidism, and then follow medical advice for appropriate drug treatment. 2. Nutritional Supplementation: Supplement hair-nourishing nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins, orally to reduce hair loss caused by nutrient deficiencies. 3. Scalp Care: Gently massage the scalp using rotating movements with the fingertips to promote blood circulation, enhance blood supply to the hair follicles, and aid in improving follicular function. 4. Lifestyle Habits: Maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular sleep patterns, moderate exercise, avoiding mental stress and staying up late, to strengthen the body's resistance. 5. Professional Treatments: Consider modern techniques such as laser hair therapy and microneedling, which can stimulate hair follicle activity and effectively alleviate hair loss issues.
