Part 2: Best Practices to Manage Hair Loss

Below we explore additional practices to help treat hair loss.

  • Never dry your hair completely-The perfect condition for hair is when it’s moisturized. Avoid rubbing your towel on the hair for best results. Instead, wrap the towel around your head and allow it to absorb the moisture naturally. The amount of moisture your towel absorbs will often be enough to keep you healthy.
  • Let your Hair out-tying hair is a known cause of hair breakage and loss. Allow you hair to grow naturally. Don’t rub it or pull.
  • Any form of friction is often a cause of hair loss. Avoid playing with your hair also, unless you don’t want it to grow.
  • Conditioners-Protect your hair from any damages while swimming or bathing by applying a conditioner ahead. Chlorine dehydrates your skin, causing irritations and hair loss. A good conditioner should keep your hair smooth enough even after coming into contact with chlorine.
  • Cleanse with natural products-Hair conditioners and cleansers have hair loss as a side effect. Sometimes the loss could be significant and not worth the benefits the conditioner claims to offer.

Additionally, some of the recommended natural products can provide a lasting solution to your hair loss problem. Butter, oil mask and avocadoes are some of the popular and easily available home remedies.
  • Hair supplements-Supplements have the same powerful capabilities to promote hair grow as any other product. Quality supplements contain acids; vitamins and the protein that help promote hair development. They are cheap and available in local pharmacies.
