1. Skipping Brushing & Scalp Massage

Neglecting to brush your hair can lead to tangles, and forcefully detangling them can potentially damage the hair follicles, causing hair loss. The scalp is rich in tiny blood vessels, so brushing your hair with the right technique and applying scalp massage can help relieve scalp tension, improve blood circulation, and promote healthy hair follicles.

2. Using Poor-Quality Hair Styling Products

Hair dye, hair gel, hair wax, styling sprays, and other hair styling products themselves do not directly increase the risk of hair loss. However, it is crucial to pay close attention to the ingredients and proper usage of these products. Low-quality hair styling products can damage the protein structure of your hair, leaving it vulnerable and brittle. In severe cases, they can cause permanent harm to the hair follicles. Improper application or failure to cleanse the hair properly can also lead to follicle blockage, gradually resulting in hair loss.

3. Smoking and Drinking

Harmful substances in cigarettes and alcohol can cause constriction of the tiny blood vessels in the scalp, slowing down blood and hormone circulation. This, in turn, hampers the absorption of nutrients by the hair follicles, leading to inadequate nourishment. Male smokers are particularly at risk as smoking increases estrogen levels, raising the chances of developing female pattern baldness. As for alcohol, its ethanol content triggers the production of free radicals in the body, stimulating various nerve cells, including those in the hair, and impacting metabolism.

4. Stress and Sleep Deprivation

During moments of stress or pressure, some individuals unconsciously tug or pull at their hair, leading to hair loss. In severe cases, this can even damage the hair follicles, causing shrinkage. Insufficient sleep slows down the body's metabolism, hindering normal cell turnover. Increased internal stress prompts the release of cortisol, disrupting the normal functioning of the scalp and slowing down hair growth.

5. Dieting/ Lack of Protein and Iron

Many individuals on restrictive diets often fail to maintain a balanced nutrient intake, directly depriving their hair of essential nourishment. Protein is a vital nutrient for the structure and protection of hair. Insufficient intake of fatty acids can disrupt sebum balance in the hair follicles, while a lack of iron can impair red blood cell production, hindering oxygen delivery to the scalp and follicles, leading to hair loss. Ensure an adequate daily intake of protein, fatty acids, vitamin A, and iron to minimize the risk of hair loss.

6. Lazy on Exercise

Exercise not only boosts blood circulation and strengthens your immune system but also serves as a stress reliever and improves sleep quality. Improved circulation benefits the health of your hair in numerous ways.
