5 Hair Styling Tips and Techniques to Avoid Hair Loss

Some types of hair loss are unavoidable, and there is little you can do to prevent them from happening. But most of the hair types are entirely preventable as well as reversible, and one of them is Traction Alopecia. This type of hair loss is caused by continuous pulling of hairs, mostly due to unhealthy hairstyling habits. Continuous tension scars the hair follicles, affecting their ability to regrow hairs. Here we will share with you 5 hair styling tips and techniques to avoid hair loss. Follow them and avoid Traction Alopecia from occurring.

 

Don’t Wear Overly Tight Hairstyles:

Wearing overly tight hairstyles, such as cornrows and dreadlocks, involve pulling hairs tightly, and thus exert a continuous tension on the hair follicles underneath the skin. This ultimately weakens the follicles and if not addressed in time, can damage the hair follicles permanently as well. Same goes for tight ponytails and braids.

 

Say No To Hair Extensions:

Tying excess weight to the hairs also pulls the hairs downwards causing tension on the hairs. This is exactly what happens when you attach hair extensions to your natural hairs.
