You spend time styling your hair for a pretty simple reason. You want your hair to all the time look its best. What if you realized that you were really doing more harm than good when you styled it? That’s right. You could really cause your hair to fall out based on how you style it. Check out some of the styling habits that cause hair loss, then make some changes so you can have lovely, thick hair.
1. Too Much Horse tailBread, and Braid
Wouldn’t you like to just put your hair in a ponytail and get on with your day? It might make your life easier right now, but all that tugging at your hair roots can lead to disaster. Don’t pull back too much, or you will not have as many hairs to pull back. As a bonus, your head may feel better in general when you stop pulling your hair back. Tightly pulling hair can cause headaches, so keep it loose as much as possible.
2. Too Much Hair Brushing
Somewhere along the way, someone you trust tells a big lie. This person tells you that you need to brush your hair 100 times before going to bed. This person is not lying to you out of hate. He truly believed it was true. In fact, this myth has been widespread for many years.
Here’s the reality. Too much brushing puts tension on your scalp. A tense scalp cannot hold hair well, so your hair will fall out.
Brush your hair just enough to get your favourite style, but do not overdo it.
3. Washing Hair with Dry Shampoo
First things first. Dry shampoo is not the way to go if you want to look your best. How can a product containing talcum powder, cornstarch and alcohol really wash your hair well? Now, if you are in bed and cannot possibly take a shower, go ahead and use it. Use real shampoo next time. Your hair will look much cleaner, and it will also stay on your head. See, dry shampoo has a way of building up in your hair. That puts quite a lot of stress on your hair, and it will end up breaking.
4. Applying Heat Without Protection
Did you know there are protective products out there that help your hair deal with the heat? Always apply this product before using heat to style your hair. Use protection regularly if you want to keep your hair on your head.
5. Go Crazy With Towel
This is most likely how your routine goes. You step out of the shower, grab a towel, and begin drying your hair. All that friction can cause your hair to fall out. Squeeze your hair rather than rubbing it with a towel.
6. Excessive Hair Care
What girl does not love a good color or a bang every now and then? It’s fine moderately, but if you get too much of the treatment, your hair will dry out and become rough. That, obviously, can lead to hair loss. Limit your grooming, including use of flat irons.
7. Using a hairdryer too much
You love your trusted hair dryer. It’s been there for you through thick and thin, including some questionable haircuts. That can never do you wrong, right?
Wrong.
You should not even turn on the hair dryer until your hair is at least 70 percent dry. Otherwise, it can damage your hair and cause it to fall out.
8. Failed to Use Pro for Extensions and Weaves
You watched YouTube videos, and now you understand how to attach extensions and weave. Problem solved, right?
No.
Failing to use a professional can cause you to lose quite a lot of hair. There is a science to attaching extensions and weaving, so leave it to the professionals. It’s your hairstylist’s job to do the extensions or weave for you, and it is your job to look great.
9. Using Too Much Heat
Do you like turning up the heat when you use a flat iron? It’s terrible on your hair. Set it as low as possible so you do not fry your hair. Your scalp will thank you.
