Hair care practices to prevent thinning hair
- 1. HAIR CARE PRACTICES TO PREVENT THINNING HAIR http://www.1300hairloss.com.au
- 2. Hair equipments, styling products and even regular shampoo and conditioner, when used excessively and without protection (such as a heat-protecting serum), can predispose thinning hair, and therefore more susceptible to breakage. One may notice thinning hair because the strands have become wispy with damage caused by heat and chemicals. To avoid this, use heated styling tools and products in moderation.
- 3. The less you subject your hair to heat, chemicals and physical stress, the better. Heat can lead to moisture loss. When you shower, water gets absorbed within the minute spaces of the hair fibers. Upon blow drying, all that moisture heats up and expands, and this pushes the hair fibers apart leaving open spaces. Those spaces make hair weaker and more susceptible to damage and breakage. Curling irons and other hair care devices that produce heat are culprits of this.
- 4. After you shower, rather than vigorously rubbing your hair with a towel, just wrap it inside to absorb some of the water before you blow dry. And when you do have to use a hair dryer, use a low setting and keep it a few inches away from your hair. Or better yet, just allow it to air dry as much as possible in order to prevent hair damage. Avoid tight hairstyles. This can damage the hair follicles where the pressure is exerted. Damaging the hair follicles initiates the onset of hair loss or alopecia.
- 5. Frequent perming, straightening and dyeing can all contribute to scalp problems, thinning hair, and hair loss, too. The chemicals involved often damage hair fibers, making them more fragile and likely to break. The fewer hair treatments you get the better. Applying gels and other styling products might help hold strands of hair in place, but it makes them prone to breaking as you style your hair and brush it later. Rest assured that these safe hair care practices will all be worth it in the end; they are bound to prevent experiencing hair loss or baldness. After all, your beautiful, healthy hair will reflect the measures you took to preserve its glory.
