Stop Hair Fall by Using the First Line of Defense

Hair loss could be one unfortunate event in a person’s life. For most men and women, hair loss is just another part of aging and is often genetically predisposed. Hormonal fluctuations due to menopause and pregnancy can cause women to lose more hair than usual.

The first line of defense to stop hair fall is to be as gentle on your hair as possible. One of the worst hair loss culprits is being too rough with your hair. In bathing, use a very gentle shampoo and wash your hair only when it is absolutely necessary. Shampooing your hair strips it of its natural oils, leaving it weaker and more susceptible to damage and breakage. Use a conditioner with a moisturizing or anti-breakage formula. In styling, avoid using a brush or comb on wet hair to prevent or stop hair fall. When hair is dry, gently comb through hair, starting at the tips and working up to the roots. This keeps small tangles from getting larger and causing hair to be ripped out in the process of detangling. In addition, if you are prone to hair loss at the front of your scalp, avoid combing hair straight back since this puts a lot of stress on the hair. If you use hair bands to tie your hair back, only use cloth covered ones to stop hair fall since other varieties can pull hair out.
