Hair loss has multiple potential causes, including diet, mineral deficiency, medications, severe stress or illness, pollution, and your genetics. Up to one third of the population suffers from hair loss, and of that third, thousands are women.There are no guarantees that you can prevent hair loss that is genetically programmed, or hair loss caused by factors not within your control. However, you can do the best by your hair at all stages to give it the greatest chance of staying in top condition and not leaving your head sooner than it needs to.Hair loss has multiple potential causes, including diet, mineral deficiency, medications, severe stress or illness, pollution, and your genetics. Up to one third of the population suffers from hair loss, and of that third, thousands are women.[1] There are no guarantees that you can prevent hair loss that is genetically programmed, or hair loss caused by factors not within your control. However, you can do the best by your hair at all stages to give it the greatest chance of staying in top condition and not leaving your head sooner than it needs to.
1
Limit your use of hair dryers. Heat weakens hair proteins. Constant heating and drying can lead to brittleness and fragility that can cause hair loss that would not have occurred otherwise.[2] Natural drying is best for you hair, so aim to dry it naturally more often than drying it with heat.
If you do use heated tools be careful, because burnt scalps can permanently damage hair follicles
2
Avoid perms. Perming refers to either chemical straightening or chemical curling, both of which can damage your hair. It works specifically by breaking the inner bonds of your hair, and then reforming them in a different way to straighten or curl your hair. This weakens your hair, making it dull, dry and brittle. Over time dry and brittle hair can contribute to hair loss.
3
Cut down on dyes and chemicals. Frequent use of hair colouring chemicals increases the chances of serious damage being done to your hair. Never colour your hair more often than every 4 to 6 weeks. If you do dye your hair, it’s a good idea to use a conditioner after shampooing.When it comes to going gray, it's a lot kinder to your hair to let it turn grey than to dye it.
4
Don't bleach your hair. Bleaching your hair removes your natural pigment when the cuticles are penetrated by chemicals. By doing this you are changing the structure of your hair and making it mores susceptible to damage. You are making it weaker, so bleaching coupled with blow drying and styling can really harm 5
Don’t pull your hair too tight. Some hair styles that require tight pulling and elastics or clips can be a cause of hair loss if done on a daily basis. For example, tight ponytails, tight braids, corn-rows, and plaits, can lead to significant hair loss when done daily.Winding hair tightly onto rollers, especially heated rollers, is also liable to cause more hair loss.
And also dont forget to have a healthy balanced diet. Nutritional responses to preventing hair loss are simple common sense approaches to keeping you, your hair, and your scalp healthy. A healthy body is more likely to have healthy hair than an unhealthy one. It is possible that hair loss can be slowed by a healthy diet filled with vegetables and fruits. There are some vitamins and minerals that can be especially helpful in promoting healthy hair and thus preventing hair loss.
