Avoid unnecessarily pulling your hair!
Any action that pulls the hair causes more hair loss, especially at the side of your head.
Things to avoid include:
- Hairstyles, like ponytails or braids, which pull at the hair
- Combing with fine-tooth combs
- Stiff nylon brushes
- Especially if you have curly hair
- Combing excessively (the old rule of 100 strokes a day is poor advice)
