Use an appropriate comb

With daily combing, you should always make sure that you do it gently to avoid hair loss. It is important to use a thick-tipped comb instead of a brush.

You should also make sure to  always keep the scalp clean so that the pores do not clog, as this can also lead to hair loss.

Cut down on the wearing of hats and headscarves

Frequent wearing of hats, caps, hats or other accessories for the hair can promote hair loss because it prevents the hair from breathing well.

Furthermore, wearing  bobby pins, hair ties and similar products should be avoided as much as possible. These too weaken the hair, as unnecessary tension is created.

Avoid using straighteners, hair dryers, and bobby pins

Blow dryers, straightening irons and bobby pins help create a beautiful hairstyle, but frequent use can damage the hair in the long term. It dries out, loses its shine and can even lead to hair loss.

The high temperatures of these devices can weaken the hair  and provoke it to fall out.

Try to forget about stress and worries

Stress and worry can also cause hair loss. This leads to a contraction of the blood vessels that nourish the hair. As a result, the scalp no longer receives all of the nutrients and hair loss can occur.
