Preventing Hair Loss

Preventing hair loss caused by genetic factors is very difficult but there are several tips for preventing hair loss caused by other factors:
  • When using blow dryers, always keep the heat a good distance from your scalp and hair. Avoid heating the scalp and hair excessively as hair loss can result.
  • Avoid getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and sprays directly on the scalp as this can clog your hair follicles.
  • After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.
  • Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun. Preventing hair loss could be as simple as wearing a hat.
  • Brushing too much or too roughly can strip away your hair's cuticle, or even cause hairs to break.
  • Avoid riding in cars with the top down or windows open. The force of the air can dislodge weak hair follicles causing hair loss.
You may have gathered that preventing hair loss is about taking good care of your hair follicles more so than taking care of your existing hair.
