Hair loss is a concern for many people of all ages. However, according to Healthline, in addition to physiological and medical factors, most of the causes come from common mistakes in daily life - something many people do not expect.
The first mistake was washing your hair too often or too little. Washing your hair too many times takes away the natural oils that protect your hair, making your scalp dry and prone to irritation. On the contrary, if washed too little, the accumulation of dirt and grease causes clogged hair roots and follicular inflammation - a direct cause of hair loss.
Second, using heat and chemicals excessively such as borers, straighteners, and dyeing often causes hair strands to lose elasticity and break quickly. Experts recommend limiting heat styling and using deep moisturizers to restore damaged hair.
Another mistake is tying your hair too tight or frequently changing your hairstyle. Continuous hair extensions weakening hair follicles, long-term leading to frizz in patches. In addition, brushing hair when wet - when hair is weakest - can also easily cause mass breakage.
A diet lacking in iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D is also a silent cause of weak, brittle hair. A balanced diet, drinking enough water and getting enough sleep are necessary conditions for healthy hair to grow naturally.
If hair loss is prolonged and unusual, you should see a dermatologist for proper testing and treatment.
