Avoid heating the scalp and hair excessively. Excessive heat will increase hair loss, and excess fallout. Avoid getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and sprays directly on the scalp as they will clog your hair follicles. Use a light hold spray if you must. After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue.
Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.
Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun. Avoid tight hats and caps as they contribute to poor circulation, depriving the hair of proper nutrition and stunting new hair growth. The sweat, dirt and grime around the rim inhibit follicle health and contribute to build-up. Always consult your health care provider for extreme causes of excess fallout and thinning. A medical condition or medication could be causing hair loss side-effects.
