CAN CERTAIN HAIR STYLES CAUSE HAIR LOSS

Often, any hairstyle that puts too much tension on the hair can cause some degree of hair breakage and can cause hair loss. Among these are tight ponytails and pigtails, especially those that are secured by elastic bands.

Cornrows pull the hair too much and this can result in hair loss. Cornrows are often left on for prolonged periods so they are popular because of easy maintenance. However,because of poor scalp and hair hygiene during this time, it can lead to dandruff, itchy scalp, and hair loss.

Using hair extensions and hair weaves to make the natural hair appear longer is also popular among women. However, those who constantly use these hair enhancements are increasingly susceptible to breakage and can cause hair loss.

On the other hand, dreadlocks are particularly common among males. Because the hair is encouraged to tangle and twist, this can tug the hair at the roots and cause stress on the scalp. This hairstyle also makes you prone to dandruff and infections, contributing further to hair loss.

The key to stopping hair loss is to abstain from excess in any hairstyle. Also, be aware of any condition that can contribute to hair loss such as poor nutrition, low calorie diet, stress, and poor hair and scalp hygiene. It is also best to stay away from harsh chemical-based shampoos. An herbal based hair loss treatment range will control excessive hair loss and help regrow hair.
