Hair Loss: Care for your Hair

Hair is fairly strong and can generally withstand normal grooming techniques. However, there can be thinning or breakage of hair due to poor grooming habits, and following several tips can prevent these bouts of thinning and breakage:

• minimize the use of harsh chemicals - chemical solutions such as perms, relaxers, dyes, are not good for your hair, and can damage it if excessive or misused





• choose your shampoo carefully - it should have a balanced PH of 5.5 and be free of harsh chemicals. There are a number of natural herbal ingredients, (like nettle), that assist in reducing hair loss

• be gentle with wet hair - shampoo gently, blot dry, and do not use a brush or fine toothed comb on wet hair

• choose a hairstyle that does not put tension on your hair - avoid ponytails, braids, cornrows
