A few examples of how you can prevent hair loss are as follows:
- Eat a balanced diet and take vitamin and mineral supplements so as to avoid losing hair due to a vitamin or iron deficiency.
- Avoid hair treatments that can damage your hair; this includes bleaching, hot rollers, frequent perming, hot curling irons, and repeated brushing and combing under hot hair dryers.
- Alternate hairstyles that put tension on hair, such as ponytails and braids, with looser hairstyles to avoid a constant pull that causes some hair loss.
- When your hair is wet, avoid brisk rubbing with a towel; blot the hair dry instead.
- Avoid vigorous combing and brushing the hair when it is wet, because its structure is more fragile in this state.
- The old recommendation to brush hair 100 strokes a day should be avoided, as this damages hair.
- Use wide-toothed combs and brushes with that have a smooth tip.
