COMMON ERRORS WOMEN MAKE THAT COULD WORSEN THINNING HAIR

Here are common hair thinning mistakes women should take note off;

Frequent use of dry shampoo

Dry hair shampoos are beneficial when used moderately. Regular use of dry shampoos can leave chemical residues on the hair and scalp, resulting in pore-clogging, which inhibits the development of thick and healthy hair.

Poor Diets

Consuming diets high in saturated fats, sugars and lacking in essential minerals or vitamins can contribute to thin hair. Poor diets slow down hair growth as the hair follicles lack sufficient nutrients. I recommend you eat more fruits, veggies, and foods high in vitamins or minerals to improve your hair quality.

Hair damage by the sun

Exposing your hair to the sun for long hours can worsen hair thinning. The harmful UV rays burn the hair strands, causing hair breakage and split end.

Over styling the hair

Women lime changing their hairstyles. However, over-styling, especially when using the wrong hair products to either curl or straighten your hair, can worsen thinning and cause hair damage in the long run.
