Health: Everyday Tips to Prevent Hair Loss

Society | October 17, 2003, Friday // 00:00

Stick to a balanced diet and take vitamin and mineral supplements to avoid losing hair due to a vitamin or iron deficiency.

Avoid hair treatments that can damage hair - this includes bleaching, hot rollers, frequent perming, hot curling irons, and repeated brushing and combing under hot hair dryers.

Alternate hairstyles that put tension on hair, such as ponytails and braids, with looser hairstyles to avoid a constant pull that causes some hair loss.

When the hair is wet, avoid brisk rubbing with a towel; blot the hair dry instead.

Avoid vigorous combing and brushing the hair when it is wet, because its structure is more fragile then.

The old recommendation to brush hair 100 strokes a day should be avoided, as this damages hair.

Use wide-toothed combs and brushes with smooth tips.
