Stop Hair Pulling

You should avoid hair pulling. This is because when you pull the hair, you are putting a lot of strain on the follicle and this can result in permanent damage. This will cause the follicle to no longer output new hair.

Don’t Rub Your Scalp

When you towel dry your hair after you have washed it, you should be careful not to rub it. This can damage the follicles. A little advice – it is best to pay it dry instead of rubbing dry.

Frequently asked questions

Avoid Wearing Wigs

Unless your doctor has prescribed a wig to you, you should avoid wearing one. When you wear a wig, your scalp will not be able to properly breathe and it can suffocate the follicles. It can also irritate and rub your scalp!

Shampoo

You should choose the right shampoo, because it is important for the health of your hair. To get the most out of your money, try matching the shampoo to your own hair type.

No Perms

When you perm your hair, this can damage both your scalp and your hair follicle.

No Colorants

Just like a perm, coloring your hair could damage both the follicle of your hair and the scalp.

Rinse Your Hair Thoroughly

The shampoo you use has chemicals and soap, which can damage your hair and ruin your scalp if you do not get all of it out thoroughly.

Avoid Consuming Greasy Foods

The old saying "you are what you eat" is pretty true. Science has proven that one strand of your hair can be tested in order to determine if you have taken drugs or are allergic to certain foods. I recommend avoiding greasy foods in order to prevent hair loss.

Avoid Your Scalp Getting Too Much Sun

When your scalp gets sunburned, this can do damage to your scalp and will cause the follicle to be unable to produce hair.

Wash Sea Salt and Chlorine out

If you go to the beach or a pool, then you need to wash the salt or chlorine out of your hair. If you leave it in your hair, then it can damage the follicles. It can also turn blonde hair a greenish tint!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Here are little tips from me (I had a same problem): First watch out for those new shampooes that make your hair brilliant, soft etc....what they do is that they condition hair too much...make it too soft and your hair eventually starts to weaken...I recommend baby shampoo, and don't wash it too often Ponytails and hairbands....throw them in the trash....they canonly damage your hair, even if you make a loose ponytail, the scalp beneath doesn't get enough air...meaning no oxygen, and skin starts to die, and your hair eventually falls.... If it's not necessary, don't use styling products..... Brushing your hair 100 times before sleep will damage your hair... Blowdrying hair damages hair...I know many of us cannot live without blowdrying hair, but if you are at home during weekend, or holidays, let your hair dry naturaly, or if it is winter dry it with a blowdryer that had thermo regulation, and set it on lowest... If any of this doesn't help visit a doctor and tell him to make your hormonal status...sometimes, actually today very often, hair loss is connected with hormonal inbalance.... I had that problem...I figured that my hair loss was more intense during autumn and spring, the time when your hormones go nuts..I wnt to the doctor and the diagnose was that I have hormonal inbalance.... In very rare cases hair loss is indication of tumors (acording to Oprah), and there is a truth in that, but ladies don't get scared, it's not a proof....

i m dng my clg.bt i suffer from severe hair loss.can u help me pls.........

i just put a prelightner on my hair and after the colour looking like patchwork, my hair is falling out any ideas on what i could do to stop this?

I try to do my best to take care of my hair. Although I need to buy a cream like a sunblock to protect it from the sun when I'm at the beach, as I hate wearing hats or caps. Any suggestions girls??

Great Post!! My friend used to always dye her hair, and i told her it was really bad for her. She used to dye it like every 2 weeks and it looked dry and gross. She finally decided to just dye it back to her natural color and let it grow out. After she dyed it it actually started falling out of the back of her head. She was so so so devastated, as all girls would be!!! My second grade teacher was telling us about how she used to have long curly hair (it was then short like a boy) and we wanted to know what happened. She went to get a perm and the hair lady messed up and all her hair, ALL of it fell out. And she said it never grew past her shoulders after that. Very sad but very true stories. Thanks so much for this advice (:

If you color your own hair, you should pay attention to the way your hair feels, and ask for professional advise at a hair salon. They have the knowledge and training necessary to recognize problem hair. I knew someone who's hair was so damaged that it was braking off in clumps with regular brushing, and after a while she had to wear a wig.
