The affects of poor hair care on hair loss are significant. Unfortunately many fashionable hair care habits and treatments are bad for the health of your hair and encourage hair loss. Hairstyles which require unusual pulling, dying or conditioning of your hair, may severely stress the natural workings of your hair, and may lead to unusual balding.
Hair loss is often caused by genetics. However, poor hair care habits can cause the hair loss process to be much quicker and more severe than would normally be the case.
Here are some rules for good hair care:
-
Don’t expose your while swimming
-
Don’t expose your hair to the elements (sun, rain)
-
Avoid unnecessary pulling of hair
-
Be gentle when drying you hair
-
Use conditioner after shampoo
-
Use gentle shampoos to cleanse your hair
-
Sparingly use chemical treatments on your hair
Applying good hair care habits can forestall the appearance of balding for years if not decades. Remember, hair loss due to poor hair care is the one type of hair loss that is easily avoidable.
