How to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth?
There are several factors that promote hair loss and hair loss and have a negative impact on hair growth, and the following factors are typical. First of all, let's suppress the factors of thinning hair and hair loss.
1. Lack of blood flow: The transport of nutrients to the hair becomes poor, and the excretion of waste products that are harmful to the hair is delayed. When blood flow improves, oxygen and nutrients are supplied to the hair roots, and hair growth is smoother.
2. Stress: Long-term stress can cause hair loss and hair loss. A state of excessive stress not only leads to a predominance of the sympathetic nervous system and a lack of blood flow, but also has various adverse effects such as shallow sleep and a decrease in the secretion of hormones necessary for hair growth. Relax your mind and body before you get too stressed. A good night's sleep can also help reduce stress.
3. Decreased metabolism and function of the autonomic nervous system: It has adverse effects such as affecting the blood flow necessary for hair growth, hindering hormone secretion, and insufficient secretion. Healthy metabolic function and a balanced autonomic nervous system affect hair growth. It is also important to maintain a regular lifestyle, including a nutritionally balanced diet.
In order to prevent hair loss and hair loss and grow healthy hair, it is a good idea to use acupuncture points that can approach these elements.
Below is an explanation of effective acupuncture points to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss and hair loss.

How to enhance the effect of the head massage × pressing pressure points and precautions
Once you know the position of the pressure points, try to press them as effectively as possible.
Here is a summary of the points you want to keep in mind when pressing the pressure points.
(Basic pressure point pressing)
1. Use the pads of your fingers widely To stimulate the
acupuncture points painlessly, use the pads of your fingers. It is easier to cover a large area by using the pads of the fingers without using the fingertips.
2. Apply
moderate pressure Apply moderate pressure when pressing on pressure points. If you press too hard, you will feel pain and the relaxing effect will fade, so try to apply enough pressure to feel comfortable for yourself.
3. Circular stimulation
When stimulating acupuncture points, massage them in slow and circular motions. This movement makes it easier to promote blood flow.
4. Adjust your breathing It is even better if you can be aware of deep breathing while stimulating
acupuncture points. Slow breathing dominates the parasympathetic nervous system, and can be expected to have a further relaxing effect in combination with pressure points.
5. Avoid
friction on the hair When pressing pressure points, you want to consider damage to the hair. If you make a jerking sound when pressing on the pressure points on your head, it is considered that you are putting a burden on your hair. Place the pads of your fingers firmly on the skin and push the scalp so as not to burden the hair.
It is also effective to massage the scalp in combination with
pressure points (in combination with head massage). It is one of the ways to promote blood circulation, improve the firmness of the scalp, and approach thinning hair and hair loss.
Rather than doing it with dry hair (dry), it is better to take it when it is wet during daily shampooing to reduce the burden on the scalp.

1. Towel dry lightly after shampooing to remove moisture.
2. Use the pads of your fingers to gently massage your scalp.
