Hair loss and hair fall is normal because our hair goes through growing, resting, and shedding phases and we shed off around a hundred strands daily.
But if you think it’s a lot more than usual, here are a few things to check before seeing your doctor.
Diet Hair Loss
Diet is one of the most neglected and most important factors that influence hair growth and strength.
Our hair is mostly made of keratin which is a kind of protein. So, consuming inadequate amounts of protein can reflect on hair volume and quality.
This means, check if you are eating enough eggs, legumes, beans, nuts, fish and seafood, lean meat, and poultry.
And of course, make sure that you are ingesting enough vitamins (A, B, C, D, zinc, biotin,…). These are essential if you want your scalp to be capable of growing hair.
Go Easy on Styling
No doubt that styling or blow-drying our hair makes us feel great about ourselves. But too much can cause hair damage.
So, go easy on chemical products, treatments, and heating devices. Provide adequate time for your hair to recover from stress and heat. If there’s no need to iron or curl, allow your hair to air dry and breathe.
Also, keep your shampoo mild and simple. Check if it contains anything that is too strong for your scalp.
