Do these things to stop hair fall-
Choose the right shampoo
Choosing the right shampoo for your hair is very important. The shampoo containing sulphate-free and natural ingredients helps in reducing your hair fall problem. For this, look for a shampoo with natural active ingredients.
Apply hair conditioner after shampoo
Conditioner coats your hair, reducing breakage and split ends. Use a leave-in conditioner or detangler. Applying it after every wash and condition helps reduce hair breakage, split ends and hair fall. Wrap your hair in a microfiber towel so it can dry more quickly.
Scalp massage for hair growth
Massaging the scalp causes the cells of the hair follicle to stretch, which increases the thickness of the hair. If you want to improve the growth or thickness of your hair then you should massage your scalp with your fingers 2 times every day.
Consume nutrients
Be sure to include protein-rich foods in your diet. It plays an important role in hair growth. A healthy and varied diet that includes sources of antioxidants, iron, vitamin D and biotin can help promote hair health.
Choose Silk Pillow Covers
Silk pillowcases will help maintain your hair by supporting your hair while you sleep. This does not make hair grow, but it is important to keep hair healthy, long, and manageable.
Manage stress
Stress and hair fall are closely related. Once hair follicles enter the telogen phase prematurely, it takes about three months for the cycle to complete and for the hair to fall out. This is further triggered by stress and this can lead to other problems as well.
What not to do to stop hair fall-
Don't use too much shampoo
If your hair is already dry or damaged, using too much shampoo can strip your hair of essential moisture. This increases the risk of damage to your hair even more.
Don't Overuse Styling Tools
Not only can heat-styling cause breakage, split ends, and other hair damage, but it's also possible that excessive heat and twisting with hot rollers or curling irons can cause hair thinning or hair loss, which can be described as hair loss. Known as traction alopecia.
Do not tie hair tightly
For anyone who often ties hair tightly, it increases hair fall. You can develop traction alopecia if you tie your hair tightly at the back. Repeated pulling on the hair loosens the hair shaft in the hair follicle.
Do not wash hair with hot water
Hot water strips your scalp of its natural oils, leaving it looking frizzy and brittle. Hot water makes your scalp dry which leads to dandruff, irritation and itching. This makes your roots weak, which leads to excessive hair fall.
