Blood Lymph
Hair Loss Cause: Blood Circulation
One hair loss cause that is not discussed much is poor blood circulation in your scalp. This must be included in any discussion or listing of what causes hair loss or what can improve hair growth. What is important in blood circulation is the quantity and quality of the blood reaching the hair root. If your hair root does not get a good supply of blood, lymph, oxygen and nutrients, it will shrink and die.
Reduction in blood to the scalp is one hair loss cause that is caused by yet another body condition - tension or stress. Excess stress causes muscles to tighten and reduces blood flow to the furthest parts of our body - feet, hands, and head. Capillaries become constricted and feed your hair follicles and hair roots less blood.
Stress also works with androgenic hormones to tighten the scalp, making it thinner, and making it more susceptible to hair loss. Women, however, seem to maintain a thicker scalp which is a better condition for continuous hair growth.
Your blood circulation can also be caused by harden crystals that form from sebum and hair perspiration. These crystals plug up the follicles causing surround tissue to harden and then restrict the flow of blood to the follicle. Use of apple cider vinegar as a final rinse during shampooing and using jojoba oil as a hair gel will help limit these crystals.
Any arthritis or tightening of neck muscles can restrict blood flow to the head. Here you need neck massages. Regular exercises or movement activity will help you increase your blood circulation to your head.
In the hair loss cause due to blood circulation, moving your head below your heart regularly can bring more blood into your scalp. For those of you that have high blood pressure or circulation problems, you need to avoid these techniques. You can lie in bed with your head hanging over. Bring you head near the floor and count to 10 then bring it back level with your body. You can repeat this 6 - 7 times once or twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Also you can increase the count from10 to longer times as you continue to do this exercise.
The are also slant board that are sold, which allow you to lie on the board so that your head is near the floor and your feet are up in the air and the height will be determined by the angle of the slant. You can also do a yoga head stance, if you are doing yoga.
If you want scalp massage to be effective you need to do it at least twice a day. Place your fingertips on your scalp and move the scalp in two directions - forward and back and in a circulating motion. Do not rub or scratch your scalp to avoid breaking off hair or damaging your scalp.
Blood circulation is one hair loss cause that you can work on. By doing some of the recommend techniques listed here you can help yourself to have better hair for a longer time.

Why can't someone with no lymph nodes have their blood pressure taken in that arm?
I wanted to know why a patient with no lymph nodes in one arm (due to a mastectomy) cannot have their blood pressure taken on that arm?
Would there be any adverse effects if a blood pressure was taken on that arm as a once off?
How likely is lymphedema to occur if a BP was taken as a once off?
Cheers everyone
You might get away with it once, you might get away with it 20 times. But you might not, and it's not worth the risk. Taking blood pressure from the affected arm can trigger lymphoedema, and should be avoided. The risk doesn't increase with the number of times - a one-off can do it.
I developed lymphoedema over 2 years after my mastectomy and lymph node removal, and I'm not sure what triggered it - I just looked down and saw that my arm and part of my hand were significantly swollen. The only explanation I could come up with was that I had carried some fairly heavy shopping bags the day before. But it could just as easily have been a bump or something that I didn't notice,
That's how easy it can be to trigger lymphoedema; to minimise your risk follow all the advice - don't allow injections, blood tests, blood pressure etc on the affected arm, do your best to avoid scratches, cuts, burns, sunburn, insect bites etc to the arm, don't use the arm for heavy, or even moderate, lifting etc.
Once you've got lymphoedema, you've got it. Do your best to avoid it
This is part of breastcancer.org's explanation about how lymphoedema occurs:
''You can think of lymphedema as a plumbing problem: Veins and lymphatic channels are like pipes and drains that can handle the normal load of lymphatic fluid. If lymph nodes and channels are removed, there might not be enough pipes and drains to handle all the fluid.
This can become a real problem when blood flow to your arm increases because of an infection, a burn, overusing the muscles of the arm, or even a bug bite. In these situations, the increased amount of lymphatic fluid flowing in can sometimes be too much for the arm's lymphatic vessels. If the fluid channels can't keep up with all that extra fluid, the fluid begins to back up and gather in the spaces between the cells of your arm's soft tissues. These tissues include the skin, fat, muscle, nerves, blood and lymphatic vessels, and connective tissue. The swelling resulting from this buildup of lymphatic fluid is called arm lymphedema''
