Hair fall? These daily habits may be damaging your hair

While the summer season affects the skin, it can also be very challenging for hair. One day your hair may look beautiful like in a shampoo advertisement and the next day fallen hair on your pillow, comb, clothes and bathroom floor may start worrying you.

If you are also troubled by continuous hair fall, the reason may not be expensive products but some of your everyday habits.

1. Excessive heat styling

Frequent use of straighteners, curlers or hair dryers can make hair dry and weak. Experts recommend reducing heat styling and always using a heat protectant.

2. Washing hair daily

Shampooing every day removes the natural oils from hair which are essential for moisture and health. Depending on your hair type, washing hair 2 to 3 times a week is considered better.

3. Shampoos with harsh chemicals

Some shampoos contain ingredients that make hair dry and lifeless. Use mild shampoos that clean the hair without causing damage.

4. Very tight hairstyles

Tight ponytails or buns weaken the hair roots and may increase hair loss. Loose and comfortable hairstyles are healthier for hair.

5. Not using conditioner

If you only use shampoo and avoid conditioner, your hair may suffer. Conditioner helps restore moisture and keeps hair soft.

6. Rubbing hair harshly with towel

Rubbing wet hair aggressively can increase dryness and breakage. Dry hair gently or use a microfiber towel.

7. Brushing wet hair harshly

Wet hair is weaker and breaks easily. Use a wide-tooth comb and always start combing from the ends of the hair.

8. Using very hot water

Hot water may feel relaxing but it removes moisture from the hair. Experts recommend using lukewarm water.

9. Unhealthy diet

Living mainly on fast food, snacks and soft drinks can weaken hair. Protein, vegetables and fruits are important for strong hair.

10. Not applying oil

Natural oils such as coconut, rosemary or argan oil provide nourishment to the hair and scalp. A gentle massage improves blood circulation and may help promote hair growth.

According to experts, beautiful and healthy hair is not achieved only through expensive products but by adopting healthy habits.
