Hair is a serious matter, whether you’re male or female. Society puts a lot of focus on having a thin body, but when it comes to hair, thin is not a word that we would like to hear. While a lot of times, baldness occurs in the men, this is also something that women suffer from. Losing our hair, our beauty signature, can be depressing and devastating. Hair products such as those expensive conditioners and shampoos no longer work as they used to in the past. Below, I am going to give you 10 tips on how prevent hair loss…

10. Stop Hair Pulling.

You should avoid hair pulling. This is because when you pull the hair, you are putting a lot of strain on the follicle and this can result in permanent damage. This will cause the follicle to no longer output new hair.

9. Don’t Rub Your Scalp.

When you towel dry your hair after you have washed it, you should be careful not to rub it. This can damage the follicles. A little advice – it is best to pay it dry instead of rubbing dry.

8. Avoid Wearing Wigs.

Unless your doctor has prescribed a wig to you, you should avoid wearing one. When you wear a wig, your scalp will not be able to properly breathe and it can suffocate the follicles. It can also irritate and rub your scalp!

7. Shampoo.

You should choose the right shampoo, because it is important for the health of your hair. To get the most out of your money, try matching the shampoo to your own hair type.

To maintain normal hair production, eat 2 to 3 servings of protein a day. Protein is found in meat, chicken, fish, eggs, some cheeses, dried beans, tofu, grains, and nuts. For more information, see the topic Healthy Eating.

Treat your hair gently. If your hair breaks easily:

• Shampoo, comb, and brush your hair less frequently.
• Use a cream rinse or conditioner after shampooing your hair. This will make your hair easier to comb and more manageable.
• Use wide-tooth combs and brushes with smooth tips.
• Avoid rough combing, brushing, or rubbing with a towel when your hair is wet. Wet hair is more fragile and thus more likely to break.
• Avoid hairstyles that pull on your hair, such as ponytails, cornrows, and braids. The constant pulling causes some hair loss, especially along the sides of the scalp. If you do use these hairstyles, avoid tight ponytails and braids. Alternate with looser hairstyles.
• Limit your use of curling irons, hot roller, and hair dryers. If you use these products, use the low heat setting.
• Avoid chemical treatments until hair you have previously treated with chemicals has grown out.

The annoying white flakes can happen at any time of year—but dry winter weather can make an irritated scalp even worse. Never fear—help is just a few steps away.


1. Dandruff is actually a form of eczema—a harmless yeast on the scalp grows excessively and causes the skin to shed the affected cells. So the best treatment is to alternate shampoos: one that slows the growth of or kills the yeast (look at ingredients labels for ketaconzaole, selenium sulfide, or pyrithione zinc, found in Head & Shoulders), and one that exfoliates with salicylic acid (such as Neutrogena Maximum Strength T/Sal Therapeutic Shampoo).
2. Leave the shampoo on your head for at least a minute so it has time to work.
3. If you have dry, rough hair, apply the medicated shampoo only to your scalp, rinse it out, then use a moisturizing shampoo on the rest of your hair. (We like John Frieda Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Shampoo.)
4. If dandruff is still a problem a month later, see a dermatologist, who can give you a prescription to a stronger shampoo, such as Selseb, which should help in about two weeks. If even that doesn't work, or if dandruff migrates down to your eyebrows, the problem might be psoriasis, in which case you might need a steroid cream.
5. In the meantime, mask the problem with the right style. Avoid severe parts as well as flatirons, which only highlight flakiness. Instead, add volume at the crown with mousse and a round-brush blow-dry, try several Velcro rollers at the roots, or spritz a texturizing or salt spray on damp hair and tousle as you air-dry. (We like Blow Beach Blow Texturizing Mist.)
