Avoid harsh hair treatments
Certain hair treatments, such as straightening or relaxing using chemicals might make your hair look better, but it can cause long-term damage for your hair and scalp. It would be best to avoid these forms of treatment entirely to make sure you are not causing any undue stress on your hair.
If you want to mix things up, you can try different hairstyles instead and see what suits your hair type best.
Brush your hair gently
Brushing your hair is important, but it’s not a good idea to be very harsh when brushing your hair. Be sure to do it gently, and not pull too hard especially if your hair is long.
It’s also a good idea to use a soft brush instead of a comb when styling your hair since it’s less damaging to your hair and scalp.
Quit smoking
One of the many negative effects that smoking can have on your body is hair loss. Smoking causes inflammation, which can damage your hair and scalp, causing you to lose hair quicker. If you are a smoker, it would be a good idea to quit as soon as possible. Not only should quitting smoking benefit your hair, but your overall health will also improve.
Eat healthier foods
Eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals can improve the health of your hair. Be sure to eat less processed foods, sugar, and red meat, and instead opt for fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish.
These tips should hopefully help prevent your hair from falling out. However, you need to know that sometimes, there really is not a lot you can do about hair loss.
At the end of the day, it’s a combination of genetics and various health factors, and some men really tend to lose their hair as they grow older.
