Lamictal hair loss is common in men and is caused by the follicles entering an early rest phase before hair loss occurs. The side effect of the drug often manifests in hair loss. Lordhair will educate you about drugs and hair loss and offer a lasting solution. Relax and read on! 

What Types of Drugs Cause Hair Loss? 

Your hair has a unique life cycle for each hair. An individual strand can grow for 2 to 8 years. It stops developing after two or three weeks and rests for three to four months before coming loose from the follicle. 85 to 90 percent of the hair on your head is actively growing, while the remaining 10 to 15 percent is dormant and awaiting shedding.

A condition called drug-induced telegenic effluvium can be caused by drugs. A few months after exposure, the scalp will lose more hair on top. Hair loss is a rare side effect, but it can be caused by beta-blockers, blood thinners, antidepressants, cholesterol-lowering drugs, certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and hormone-related drugs like thyroid meds, hormone replacement therapies, or steroids. Lamictal falls into the category of the drugs listed above. 

How to Reverse Lamictal Hair Loss

1. Avoid Harsh Treatment 

Hot blow dryers, curling irons, flat irons, and combs dry out your hair and make each strand weaker. Chemical treatments, such as perms and colorants, can also make your hair much weaker. 

2. Proper Dieting 

Your hair stays healthy and strong when you eat a well-balanced diet. Try to eat more fruits, and vegetables and less processed foods like saturated fats, and added sugars.

3. Stay Hydrated 

Water does exist in your hair follicles and staying properly hydrated is essential for maintaining good health. So enjoy drinking water!

4. Natural Oils 

Use essential and natural oils.  With your fingertips, whisk in a few drops of the oil into the water. For at least four weeks, massage the oil into the hair once daily, preferably in the evening so it can stay in your hair overnight. 

5. Wigs

Today's hair accessories are of higher quality and have a more natural appearance, and hair extensions need considerably less upkeep. Find a reliable place to buy high-quality wigs.
