1. Avoid Hair Bands

I love to throw my hair up as much as the next girl, but I hate the feeling of pulling out my hair tie and feeling nearly half of the hair on my head falling out. If you’re the same way, avoid putting your hair up. Hair ties will only cause breakage and will eventually start to make your hair thin out, faster than you may think.

2. Stop Putting Your Hair up

A lot of women these days have found new alternatives to hair ties, however, even putting your hair up can be pretty terrible for your hair, no matter the type of hair tie you use. Pulling your hair back tightly will cause just as much hair loss as tying it up tightly, so just avoid it altogether.

3. Condition, Condition, Condition

Most women can’t imagine even going a day without conditioning, and that’s the way that it should be. If you notice that your hair’s not exactly in the best shape that it once was, start conditioning more thoroughly. It’s essential to keeping your hair healthy and avoiding hair loss.

4. Avoid Too Much Product

Although you may think you need it, hair products will be the death of your hair. In the long run, would you rather your hair be a little less cooperative or would you rather that you start going bald? The fewer products you put in your hair, the healthier your hair will be, and your hair will show the difference!

Embrace your individuality and transform your look by trying out a unique shade. Did you know that green hair is associated with nature, creativity, and growth? So go ahead, experiment with this bold hair color to represent a new phase in your life, waiting to blossom like a fresh spring leaf.

5. Use Less Heat

If you can, avoid using heat whenever possible. The more heat you apply to your hair, the more damage you’ll see, which will eventually lead to thinner hair. Skip the blow dryer or flat iron a couple of days a week to give your hair a little bit of time to rejuvenate and heal itself.

6. Use a Mask or Intensive Treatment

Conditioner isn’t enough to save your hair. Make sure to spend at least one day a week giving your hair some extra TLC with a mask or conditioning treatment that is sure to revitalize your hair and make it look brand new. It will help slow down hair loss and you’ll be back to healthy hair in no time!

7. Wash with anti-Dandruff Shampoo

If you’re still having issues, try twitching to anti-dandruff shampoo, even if you don’t have dandruff. It has an active ingredient in it that is said to stimulate the hair follicles and encourage hair growth. If you’re experiencing pretty bad hair loss, try this tip next time.

Great tips!

What's good also is using garlic shampoo and I know eww garlic. Is it going to smell like it? No not at all it makes your hair follicles stronger

I hate to say it but this article should be titled how to prevent breakage not how to prevent hair loss... They don't even address any of the ways in which u keep ur hair in the allagen stage which is the hair growth stage, nor does it address the issue of DHT build up or any other ways that stimulate hair growth... Sorry I can't heart this one since it's not clear on anything regarding hair loss and only ways to prevent breakage... I'm a stylist of 18years and have also worked with manufacturers that produced hair growth products that I have seen amazing results with but none of these things are the 5 major causes of hair loss what so ever... Hair feeds from the blood and grows from the papilla and extends from the follicle, that's what u need to take care of if u want to avoid hair loss. Nothing u do on the hair shift will prevent loss, only break the hair or cause split ends is all u can prevent from the root out... FYI

Would braids be considered a better alternative to wearing hair up. My hair is long and thick and it gets hit in the summer and I don't like it in my face. I can't cut my hair too short because I have a fuller rounder face.

Try avoiding combing & brushing too often too (particularly when there is product in your hair), which makes it more difficult to get a comb or brush through); always use a wide toothed comb as opposed to any other comb or brush, which is less aggressive on your hair, try & avoid having product in your hair & was it out as opposed to comb it out on your off days & don't style it, try to leave it natural if you can; & gently run your fingers through it to detangle, as opposed to comb or brush

I have major thick hair and hairdressers always comment on how much there is. I want it to stay that way! I sometimes use Moroccan oil, and 90% of the time let it dry naturally after washing. I do dye it a brown shade though, that's my only fallback. Oh and soft scrunched instead of tight bobbles :)

These are great! Just sucks working in a shop having to wear your hair up daily :(

Sorry for the typos *? *hot

The only time my hair is pulled back is when I'm on the treadmill. I wash it two times a week, so that avoids the blow dryer 5 days. However I do use heat in terms of the inStyler & Curl Secret. I don't brush it a lot either.

Living here in South Florida is HOT I have to pull my hair back if not my neck gets sweaty and so my hair gets wet and gross from my sweaty neck! I don't use heat to dry my hair. I let it air dry. And I use Redken shampoo and conditioner. It makes a HUGE difference with curly, frizzy hair. And I've also noticed that the shampoo and conditioner I use I have less hair loss in the shower too!! I would have handfuls of hair fall out in the shower before I swapped to good hair products.
