Hair thinning can be one of the worst realizations that you’re getting older, just behind finding a gray hair. If you’re worried about your hair thinning, or you’ve noticed that it’s started to thin, follow these tips to restore it or save it from getting thin. Rather than watch your hair get thin and do nothing to stop it, follow these tips to make your hair look better than ever! My favorite part about these tips is that they’re not that difficult or crazy-in fact you probably do a lot of these tips daily already, and if you don’t they’re easy to add to your everyday routine!

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.

@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.

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.

I read how good coconut oil was for the hair and all its benefits. Unfortunately it damaged my hair. I stopped using it and my hair is back to normal

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.

Start using nioxin shampoo& their moisturizing conditioner. If you feel your hair is thinning. It will help prevent more hair from coming out. And it's great for your scalp& it makes your hair grow quicker, if you use it religiously. They also have a treatment you can do at night before bed to help with thinning hair. I also was informed about the mane and tail hair line which they created for horses locks and then made a human formula. It's a lot cheaper. Anything with tea tree is good to. You have to keep your scalp clean for healthy hair.

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 :)

I have been slowly losing hair right from the follicles for a few years ago & I haven't figured out how to stop/slow or regain (if possible) the healthy amount of hair that I had in my teen years. While I do have just past shoulder length hair, I usually have it loose or I take an alligator clip (oversized), twist my hair loosely and then clamp my hair to get a loose "pony tail" look. It keeps my hair from getting in my way and keeps it off my neck in hot weather. The only time I use pony tail elastics is when I put my hair in a loose braid for bedtime, as well as the only hair elastics I use are fabric coated & it is put on with only 3 loops at the end of the braid. I had no idea that dandruff shampoo would maybe help out with my hair loss so I will pick up a bottle the next time I grocery shop. Thanks for the tip.
