All people lose hair on a daily basis, unfortunately many people will go through rapid hair loss without new hair coming in to replace it which results in thinning hair which possibly leads to some degree of baldness. Hereditary plays a major role in the severity of hair loss but improper care of your hair along with an unhealthy lifestyle may cause early hair loss.

Hair Loss Prevention

Getting proper nutrition is essential for healthy hair.

Water, protein, biotin (part of the vitamin B complex), vitamins A, B6, B12, C, copper, iron, omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, calcium, frolic acid, and magnesium all play a part in maintaining a healthy scalp, skin.

Using your fingertips to massage your scalp will increase circulation in your scalp which is important for growth.

Gentle combing or brushing of your it will help break up hardened oils that clog your pores. It is recommended that you comb or brush 100-200 strokes in the morning and at night.

Avoid excessive wind, sun, and heat (such as from hair dryers, hot showers, and curling irons) on your it.

Tight fitting caps and hats will cause poor circulation in your scalp and will also cause build-up of sweat and grime.

If you have live a high stressed life try reducing stress by taking some time out daily just to relax, excessive stress is believed to induce hair loss.

If you color it, limit coloring it to once every 2 months. Hair coloring damages it and the less frequently you color it the better.

Avoid putting too much physical stress on it; brush/comb your hair gently, don't pull it when you brush and avoid braids and ponytails if possible, they place constant stress on your it.

Get enough sleep.

Use a conditioner and trim any split ends.

See your doctor or a dermatologist for advice if you have concerns about hair loss and want to seek treatment.

Long Hair Care Tips

Avoid sleeping with tightly braided it or hair in a tight ponytail. The stress can cause breakage and/or hair loss.

When it is braided, make sure that it is not too tight or it could cause breakage and/or hair loss.

If it is braided or you have a ponytail, use a specially treated band or scrunchie which will prevent breakage of it. Limit your use of clips, bows, and untreated bands.

Even if you plan on growing it out further, you should trim it once every 3 months, if not split ends will cause it to break off and it will begin to lose it's beauty. If you plan on just maintaining your length, a trim once every month and a half to two months should suffice.

Don't use a brush to detangle your hair, this will stretch your hair and may cause your hair to break off. Instead use your fingers, a pick, or a wide tooth comb to detangle your hair.

When detangling your hair work your way from the tips of your hair up to the hair roots. Work on detangling one section of your hair at a time and go in a downward direction.

Be gentle when detangling; pulling down on your hair too hard will cause breakage.

If you detangle your hair before washing it, it'll be easier to dry and style as well as decrease the knots and tangles after you are done washing your hair.

Don't rub your hair dry with a towel, instead blot the water out of your hair, when you rub, it'll cause your hair to tangle.

Hair can get caught on cotton pillow cases and break when you are sleeping especially if you toss and turn a lot when you sleep. Using a satin or silk pillowcase where your hair will make it so that hair will slide across the pillowcase without getting caught. Another tactic to prevent breakage is to put your hair up in a ponytail on the top of your head with a scrunchie or specially treated band (that prevents breakage).

An alternative to the silk pillowcase is to wear a satin or silk scarf over your hair before your sleep to prevent breakage.

Brushing your hair is important because it spreads the hair oils out across the length of your hair. Use long strokes starting from the roots of your hair when brushing and stroke your hand over your hair after you are done brushing to get rid of static.
