Did you know that a single hair is stronger than steel and is very hard to break? Very hard doesn't mean impossible and this is why is very important to use only the adequate grooming techniques and hair products.
If your hair already shows signs of thinning or breakage then it's even more important to learn the correct ways of taking care of your hair and how to prevent hair loss.
Read further to discover the essential tips you should apply when grooming your hair.
1. Avoid combing or brushing your hair when it's wet
Combing or brushing the hair while it's wet it's the most common cause of breakage and also a very common practice amongst women, because while wet they can arrange their hair better. This is the number one mistake to do and it's very important to remove this from your habits if you want a strong and natural hair
2. Avoid over combing and over brushing
This is another mistake people tend to make on a daily basis: once in the morning and once before going to be is more than enough for one day and you don't have to follow the 100-strokes brushing rule because recently it has been proven that in most case it's not necessary to stroke the hair so many times and this only leads to thinning your hair
3. Avoid excessive shampooing and over washing
A clean hair is desirable but this doesn't mean you have to wash it on a daily basis. Twice per week is a fair number, because you will not only maintain your hair clean but also nice and strong. Also pay extra attention to what shampoo you are using, because some of them contain dangerous ingredients that deteriorate the hair.
Avoid anti-dandruff or 2-in-1 shampoos because these are the most likely to damage your hair.
4. Let your hair dry naturally
While its wet the hair is weaker and it breaks easier. This is why it's not recommended to comb or brush your hair while wet and also to leave it to dry on its own. Especially avoid using terrycloth towels to rub your hair until it gets dry, because this technique damages the hair very fast
Only by following these three tips you will set yourself on the right track, but when it comes to how to prevent hair loss I also recommend The Hair Loss Black Book, a guide with a very interesting approach regarding this issue.
