It is part of some people’s lives and therefore, it is an important topic to cover. Both men and women, lose hair for many reasons naturally and unnaturally. Many women lose hair when they are pregnant because they are pumped full of estrogen and progesterone that induce hair growth and after their pregnancy; the level of hormones drops and the hair falls out. This is a temporary case. More permanent cases occur during menopause. The levels of hormones drop and testosterone becomes a major player. Testosterone will actually prevent hair from being grown. The women’s hair falls out and is not re- grown.

Many of these natural remedies include different types of creams, oils and ointments that you can use .
Before going any farther, hair loss is rather unpredictable so the prevention methods are not miracle cures. They are only suggestions to help. The method can be as easy as messaging the scalp to help the circulation of blood and oxygen to the hair follicles and in some cases can even create hair growth. Saw Palmetto extract is often used to promote hair growth because it is an anti androgen. Another extract option is nettle root extract. This extract provides crucial vitamins for hair growth including vitamin A and C as well as other lipids and minerals.
An ancient remedy is the use of Jojoba oil from the Native Americans and Mexicans which its spread throughout the scalp to help the hair growth. Other substances with the same outcome are Aloe Vera, Henna and Psyllium husk. If you are not ready to create your own homemade remedies then you can look for hair loss prevention products which include these ingredients. The best place to find these products is in a homeopathic store.
Natural hair loss prevention can be a great step to curing your hair loss or to at least prevent further hair loss and to stimulate more hair growth. It is healthy for you and will never endanger you with its usage.
Loss Prevention?
One thing we will never have complete control over is “loss”. As much as I’d like most of this life be about gain and ‘winning’, I’ve realized that much of this life involves loss and the ability to handle loss. I’ve saved about 1/3 of my heart to handle loss.
We grow up hating to lose; taught from an early age that it’s all about winning and getting ahead we do everything we can to battle against any kind of loss. Playing games, being involved in sport, going to school to get ahead…it’s all about the gain. Then life happens. Suddenly and by surprise you don’t always win, you can’t always get ahead and things get lost. You realize in everything there has to be a winner AND a loser. Suddenly you find yourself completely unprepared to know what do do with this new phenomena in your life: you “can” lose.
I started on my loss track when I was pretty small. For some reason I had the uncanny ability to feel deeply and sense when others were hurting, too much at times. Life happens and I believe some of us learn to stop and see things around us more clearly and earlier than others. That’s a blessing and a curse. It made me a much more compassionate and caring person as I grew older and that’s a blessing. But the difficulty came in feeling way too other peoples pain, to getting hurt way too often, and always struggling with why things weren’t just or fair. Sometimes I carried the pain what seemed like more than the person in pain.
One day I’ll probably stop and write what life is like in your 40′s. If it’s anything like mine it was very difficult. You may be one of those people who just ‘breeze’ through life without much thought about what goes on around you. I don’t know. My 40′s were filled with loss and change and a lot of hurtful, painful feelings. Want a list? I didn’t think so; you can make your own. I have decided on the other hand to enjoy my 50′s a little more although it’s all started very difficult; money, teens, housing market, new job. My new slogan is “nothing is easy” but “everything is possible”.
What’s the point of all the loss we incur and face as we grow older. I truly believe it’s a lot to do with being refined in the fire. That someday I’ll be one of those “old men” that people think are so wise. People will really appreciate all the challenges and difficulties I’ve faced in this life and all the ‘answers’ I can offer them and perspective that will seem so ‘awesome’. Very few will ask how I got there. Most people will look at my last twenty years on this earth as the finest and forget that I ever had a ‘first half’ of life. That’s OK, there’s a lot I don’t want to relive. I do want to remember getting married, my children being born/adopted. I do want to remember the countless thousands of lives changed as God used me to publicly proclaim His Word. I do want to remember the excellent Mom and Dad I had in this life and the way they were always there for me and my family.
I don’t want to remember all the loss…. the midlife career change that took everything out of me; the extreme feelings of being forgotten about and wondering if my life will be useful in the second half; the up and coming move back to Indiana going from amazing sunshine to grey skys; the pains of watching my kids go through the teen and young adult years in a world that tries to tear them apart, a world that seems so different than I remember it as a kid. (I thought being a teenager was hard; not nearly as hard as watching someone else be a teenager!) So, in spite of all the loss we experience in this life, one thing we are given to make up for so much of it IS Life. I’m alive, I have been for 50 years. I have great memories (I can still remember!) I’ve got a great family, still alive. We can’t always control the losses in our life… but let’s not forget to LIVE while we are going through it. Until next time…
Loss Prevention in Retail Stores
Of course, protecting your investment in your inventory is an important priority. In a retail store, there can be lots of overlooked areas where theft can easily occur. Deterrent is the best way to prevent loss, so we are going to give you a few tips and tricks to help reduce loss in your store.
The first thing to think about is store layout. You want as few blind spots as possible. Try to have rows radiating from the area where employees are most likely to always be stationed. The cash register is normally a good starting point. Shoplifters need only a moment of privacy to conceal items in their clothing, purses or strollers. If they feel like they are out in the open, they are less likely to get comfortable enough to steal. Put large mirrors in areas that may be hidden from sight, like the backs of racks or small corners.
Another way to make shoplifters uncomfortable is to utilize lighting techniques. Studies show that shoplifters are much more comfortable stealing in dimly lit areas, such as corners and dressing rooms. Put special lighting, such as inset spotlights in these areas to illuminate them and give shoplifters an uneasy feeling of being watched. Simple signs about video surveillance or black ceiling domes that could house cameras are great deterrents as well.
The threat of surveillance or prosecution is nearly as effective as the real thing and much more inexpensive. Getting an alarm system that alerts you when tagged items leave the store can be too expensive for some smaller stores. The tags alone, however, are not expensive. Just having the security tags on the clothing can deter a shoplifter from even considering your store.
Your best asset and defense against shoplifters is your staff. Good customer service is the number one deterrent for shoplifters. Have your staff personally walk up and greet each person that enters. After a minute or two of browsing, have them reapproach the customer to ask if they need assistance. Getting attention is not what a shoplifter is after.
Monitor your dressing rooms. This is a very popular area for shoplifters to trick your employees. Lying about the number of items in their hand is very easy. Hiding items in between articles or placing more than one article on each hanger is very common and generally easy to get away with. Keeping your dressing rooms locked is an easy way to make sure that your employees are checking what is going in. Instruct them to take the clothing and personally count, separate and hang items inside the dressing room for each customer. The customer will just think that this is customer service, but really you are checking for hidden items. Shoplifters will simply choose another target if they think that your employees are being diligent about their jobs.
All of your store displays should be neat and organized to cut down on confusion in your store. Even your hangers can make a difference in deterring shoplifters. If clothes hangers keep items separated and neat, then it is more obvious when someone takes an item off of one or tries to double up merchandise before entering the dressing room. Go over your store with a cautious eye and you could reduce losses in your store.
