HOW TO PREVENT HAIR FALL:

1. Do Not rub wet hair vigorously

 

Rubbing wet hair vigorously will lead to hair breakage and hair fall as the hair shaft is very weak when hair is wet.

 

2. Avoid brushing wet hair

 

Brushing wet hair will lead to hair fall as hair shaft is weak when it is wet and pulling the hair with a brush will add to your hair fall. If needed use Wide Tooth comb to detangle your hair.

 

3. Avoid Heat

 

Heat in any form is bad for hair. Hot water, hair dryers and hair styling tools dry out the hair and weakens the hair follicles. Limit their usage.

 

4. Don’t tie your hair tightly

 

Hairstyles such as wearing tight ponytails, pigtails or braids on a daily basis, using elastics and rubber bands to pull back hair tightly, can cause hair fall as it puts pressure on the roots and weakens the hair roots.

 

5. Do Not use too many hair products

 

Using too many hair products will lead to product build-up on the scalp. It will block the nutrients to go into the hair follicles and will cause hair fall.

 

6. Use Products specifically made for Hair fall

 

Using hair products which are specifically made to control hair fall will directly address the hair fall problem.

 

7. Do Not stress.
