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!
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.

Dhanya: Thanx a lot.... am 18 and am losing soon much hair Idk I been very much worried.... 😳
Karen: I alternate my shampoo & conditioner sets ( I have at least 5 sets) & I use a detangler that is either a match to one set of shampoo & conditioner or Tame, children's detangler. As for what I use for a brush/comb is either a very wide toothed comb or a special brush for fine hair when I am home or a comb or my fingers when I am out. As for styling my hair? Wash & go, girls! My hair is so fine that, no matter how much hair I have, it is far more time consuming to blow dry my hair than it would if I just combed out my hair & left it loosely hanging down. Hairdressers hate having to deal with my hair as they have to wet it back down every few minutes just to give me a trim. 😉😀
summer: Great tips!
Thelma62913: 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.
Channce: @Dhanya is your hair loss extreme? Or just notice more in your showers? What shampoo and conditioner do you use? There are mixed reviews on Wen hair care system saying it contributes to extreme hair loss and a friend of mines daughter took the gardasil shots and somehow it affected her immune system and it resulted in Alopecia which is also an extreme to total hair loss immune system disorder. Your body attacks the follicles like they are foreign. Hopefully it's neither of these two, but hopefully this helps a little and you can do a little more research on how much hair you're losing and see if either of these could be the cause.
Tay: These are great! Just sucks working in a shop having to wear your hair up daily :(
Channce: Sorry for the typos *? *hot
Dani: Wendy is right these tips will help you with healthy beautiful hair but only to the hair that exists already growing from the scalp, not any follicles that are deteriorating. Rachel H. Has some great advice but if u want to see hair grow faster or fuller u need to brush it often with a soft bores bristle brush in order to increase the stimulation at the follicular level and motivate the hair to push though faster. U also want to keep ur skin free from debris that can clog the follicles which is why using less products at the scalp at least is important. Anything off the scalp and towards the end of hair is fine. Jackie has the best advice, nioxin is the shit! I highly recommend their products hands down!
Kaillee: Ladies...what we PUT into our bodies is paramount some that I know of are green tea, biotin, the B vitamins, and vitamins A, C, and E. Stock up by eating more whole grains, beans, carrots, and spinach, hope this helps someone xo
Tinamarie: 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.
