How To Promote Hair Health And Avoid Hair Loss

Hair loss is something that happens not only out of age

, but out of neglect. If you don't want to look like a monk or an ex-convict with your thinning hair, you should become more responsible with your body, specifically your hair care practices and habits. Hair damage in particular can lead to hair loss as well, so be careful when you brush, wash, or style it, because you could very well be destroying each strand or hindering its ability to grow. At any rate, this article has been specifically developed to address these issues, providing tips and tricks that will ensure the healthiness of your hair for years to come. By making sure that you have good hair care habits, you'll be able to save your hair from thinning in the long run.

Wash Out Gels after Use

Even though this tip is supposed to be a par-for-the-course, many people neglect washing off gel after using it on their hair. If you use hair clays, waxes, gels, pomades, and any other sticky styling brands, you should make it a point to wash them out before sleeping in order to reduce the risk of chemically induced hair damage. More to the point, by sleeping with unwashed gel, its ingredients may work its way into your scalp and clog your pores altogether. Furthermore, styling products typically come in a cocktail of chemicals that may damage your hair in the long run, ironically enough.

Avoid Using Supermarket Shampoos

You should avoid using shampoos sold in supermarkets altogether if you want to avoid hairloss, especially if it already has the tendency to shed and get damaged in the first place. Just as those with sensitive teeth shouldn't bother using normal toothpaste, those with sensitive hair shouldn't purchase just any shampoo available. Take a look at the ingredients list of whatever shampoo brand you're eyeing; it'll likely contain the chemical "sodium laureth sulfate" or "sodium lauryl ethyl sulfate". For sensitive hair that's prone to damage and thinning out, you should rely on all-natural shampoos instead.

Avoid Tying Your Hair Back into a Ponytail

The act of tying your hair back can actually lead them to grow nearer the surface of your scalp because how tightly they're pulled time and time again; it's basically a means of wear and tear. Letting your hair grow close to the surface is a bad thing because they'll eventually lose their hold in the scalp and fall out. What's worse, the hairs at the front of your head are the first and likeliest victims of hair loss, which should then lead to a widow's peak look or other baldness disasters that are easily noticeable. Ergo, even if you're fond of the ponytail hairstyle, you should cut down on it for the sake of your own hair's health and youthful look.

Don't Brush Your Hair When Wet

No, the advice of not brushing your hair when it's wet because it could lead to partial or total baldness is not an old wives' tale. It's scientifically proven that your hair is at its most vulnerable when it's wet, so brushing it while wet is a surefire way of damaging it on the long run. In order to preserve the health of your hair, you should instead dry your hair with a soft towel or leave it to dry out naturally before touching it with a comb or brush. Brushing can also make it harder for your hair to dry out faster, so it's best that you leave your hair alone for the time being and only brush it when dry in order to avoid the possibility of hair damage and baldness.
