Normally, we lose between 50 and 100 hairs per day, however certain life events (postpartum, stress, medication, diabetes, etc.) can accentuate this loss and thus become very significant. To combat this hair loss, here are 6 ways to prevent excessive hair loss.
- Massage your scalp before shampooing. This will help activate and improve your blood circulation. To do this, you can use a dermaroller to stimulate your hair roots or simply use your fingers.
- Use an appropriate shampoo and wash your hair regularly (especially if it's oily). Sebum is known for its protective role for hair, however, excess sebum can have the opposite effect by clogging your roots and thus promoting hair loss. Additionally, rice water shampoos have many benefits for your hair.
- Opt for a microfiber towel to blot your hair and let it air dry to preserve the hair fiber. Unlike classic cotton towels, a microfiber towel absorbs more water in less time and, most importantly, helps prevent frizz.
- Preferably, detangle your hair once it is completely dry and choose appropriate brushes or combs, for example, with a boar bristle brush, made of bamboo, or an anti-hair loss comb. No matter what brush you use, do not be rough with your hair.
- Avoid using any heat sources, especially straighteners/curling irons, and opt for heatless curlers. Also avoid chemical products: bleach, dyes, hairsprays, relaxers, etc.
- At night, protect your hair with a satin bonnet or use a satin pillowcase to avoid friction that can exacerbate hair loss.
