5 Bad Habits That Make Your Hair Thinner

Published

on

Dandruff and hair fall are some of the most common hair problems but a growing number of people these days are beginning to fret about hair thinning. Hair thinning makes your hair look limp and sparse. If you’ve been worrying about this condition, it’s time to reconsider some of these bad habits that could be the reason why your hair looks thinner.

Using hot styling tool

Using hot styling tools like blow-dryer or hair iron will expose your hair to extreme heat. This heat then damages the cuticles and proteins that your hair is made up of. Such damaged hair is prone to easy breakage. If you cannot avoid these heating tools, try using a heat spray before and make sure you limit its usage twice a week only.

Post shower hair mistakes

Your hair is more fragile and prone to breakage when its wet. Towel-drying your hair aggressively or combing them soon after a hair wash causes them to break. Be gentle to your hair when its wet. Blot them with a soft towel instead of rubbing them thoroughly.

Skipping hair wash for long duration

Busy schedules and the invention of dry shampoos make it more convenient to skip shampooing for long duration. But be warned, this could be the real reason why your hair is thinning out. The build-up of product and dandruff on your scalp begin to clog your hair follicles thus making it difficult for new hair growth. Ideally, you should wash your hair twice a week to ensure optimal hair health.

You often go on a crash diet

When you force your body to starve, your body uses up most of the energy to regulate basic functioning of the organs. This means your body does not concentrate on other functions like hair growth.

Tying hair too tightly

If you tie your hair in tight ponytails or braids, beware, as these hairstyles put excess pressure on your hair follicles. This could damage your hair or weaken them thus harming hair growth. Try and leave your hair loose as much as possible. If you tie them up, make sure it isn’t too tight.
