subject: Hair Loss Due To Improper Hair Care [print this page] Hair loss is not always a permanent condition, as many people misunderstand it. It can be temporary situation. Also it should not be taken lightly considering it as temporary. Steps must be taken to reduce its occurrence and also to promote the growth of hair, once it is lost.
There are various reasons for temporary hair loss.

You might use these techniques to improve your hair style and beauty, but some of them can be unhealthy for hair.
Brushing or combing the hair aggressively is a main cause of hair loss. Combing the hair when it is wet can weaken the hair and can also cause its breakage. Straining the hair using brushes with hard and crowded bristles can tend to pull the healthy hair out of its follicles. Hair should be brushed using soft toothed brush and prefer combs with wide tooth.
The use of chemicals can also lead to hair loss. Several chemicals are present in hair products like hair dyes, curling products, gels, highlights and other chemical hair treatments. Even though they bring a good appearance to the hair, it can be harmful to the hair. Try to avoid such things or use them only once in a while. Always get these kinds of things done by a professional hair stylist or hair dresser to keep away from unnecessary side effects.
The application of heat devices on your hair can lead to hair loss. Devices like flat irons, blow dryers, curling irons etc use heat for their functioning. Excessive heat can damage your hair and cause hair loss, split ends, breakage etc. It makes the hair and scalp dry, which makes it prone to dandruff. So try using high quality styling devices and make sure you use the lowest possible heat setting in the straightening processes. Use cool air to blow dry your hair even if it is little more time consuming.
Hair loss is something that is worried about. By studying the reasons that lead to hair loss and then implementing steps to correct them, you can bring a significant reduction to hair loss.
