When experiencing significant hair loss, the following measures can help improve the condition: 1. Adjust your diet: Consume more foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, and black sesame seeds, to provide essential nutrients and promote hair growth. 2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late; engage in regular physical exercise to strengthen your body and reduce mental stress. 3. Proper hair care: Choose shampoo and conditioner suitable for your hair type, avoid frequent dyeing, perming, or excessive use of chemical products to minimize hair damage. 4. Medication treatment: Under a doctor's guidance, use medications such as minoxidil solution or finasteride tablets (for men) which can help reduce hair loss. 5. Seek medical advice: If hair loss is severe, it is recommended to consult a doctor promptly.
