12 Hacks That Will Help You Stop Your Hair From Falling Out

Introduction

When you're a woman, one of the most stressful things about your appearance is probably your hair. Believe me, I know. For years, my hair was my pride and joy: thick and long, with plenty of blonde highlights to show off. But then I got older—and wiser—and started to worry about all the chemicals I'd used on it over the years. Suddenly, my beautiful locks just weren't so "healthy" anymore! Fortunately, there are ways to stop your hair from falling out or even regrow lost strands (yes please!). Here are some hacks that will help you keep those tresses healthy:

1. Cut down on sugar

Sugar is delicious. But it's also a major cause of hormonal imbalances, which can lead to hair loss. One study found that women who ate lots of sugar and refined carbs (think white bread) had almost twice as much hair loss than those who followed more traditional diets.

Sugar also increases inflammation, which is bad for your skin in general but especially bad for your scalp because it produces more oil than the rest of your body does—and that extra oil can clog pores and make acne worse!

If you want to maintain strong, healthy locks on top of your head, cut down on the sugary stuff and try these tricks instead:

2. Rinse with apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a great remedy for hair loss. It contains nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus which are good for the scalp. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar helps to balance your pH levels and remove any impurities from your hair follicles.

Here’s how you can use it:

• Cleanse your hair with warm water and shampoo, then rinse out completely until no shampoo remains on your scalp or strands of hair. Make sure that there is enough water flowing through each strand before moving on to the next one so that there isn't any residue left behind when you rinse away all traces of product buildup in its wake. Once finished washing off those chemicals (and excess sebum), towel dry as usual before applying this miracle elixir instead! Simply pour 1 tablespoonful into an empty spray bottle filled with lukewarm water; shake well before spraying evenly throughout both ends first then scrunching together gently just below shoulder-length clips will help distribute evenly across the entire head while allowing maximum absorption during the drying process."

3. Massage your scalp

This tip is so simple, and yet it's one that many people neglect or don't realize can help them. Massaging the scalp helps stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles, which helps promote growth and reduce dandruff buildup. The more you massage your scalp, the more likely you are to get good results from other methods like using a good conditioner or deep conditioner once a week (or even daily if needed).

-Use a leave-in conditioner. This is an easy way to keep your hair healthy and shiny. You can use it after washing your hair or as a daily moisturizer. If you have curly hair, it's especially important to use one of these products because they tend to be drier than straight or wavy hair.

4. Stay hydrated

The most important thing you can do to keep your hair healthy is not to let it get dehydrated. That's right, water is the key to good hair! So drink up!

If you are one of those people who think that drinking more water will make them gain weight, then I'm sorry to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth. If anything drinking too little water will cause weight gain because of its effects on the body's ability to metabolize fat and protein (which helps regulate hunger).

And don't worry about making yourself sick by drinking too much; most people have access to safe sources of drinking water and if they don't or it's contaminated then there are several ways around this problem such as filtering tap water cheaply at home or buying bottled water.

5. Wear sunscreen

• Wear sunscreen. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can cause wrinkles and age spots. But it also helps protect your hair!

• If you have color-treated hair and are worried about fading the color, add a little of this product to your shampoo or conditioner before using it. You only need a few drops per 4 ounces of product, so even if you don't use much at once (or ever), it will last for months!

The sun can cause your hair color to fade, especially if you have a darker color. Sunscreen is a great way to protect it, but hair colorists recommend using one that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They create a barrier on your scalp and around the hair shafts that prevents UV rays from reaching them.

6. Be gentle with your hair

• Use a wide-tooth comb

Instead of using a brush to pull your hair, gently comb it with a wide-tooth comb. This will help you avoid pulling out strands of hair.

• Don't use heat on your hair too often

Heat styling tools can make your hair dry and fragile, leading to breakage. If you want to keep your locks long and healthy, try to go without heat for as long as possible and stick with air drying when you wash it instead of running straight into the shower after washing it every day (which is what most people do).

7. Try an iron supplement

It is a common misconception that iron deficiency is the cause of hair loss. It's the most common cause of hair loss in women and men with blonde or red hair. Iron deficiency is caused by blood loss; for example, heavy menstrual bleeding or excessive sweating can lead to an iron deficiency.

For those who are experiencing significant thinning or balding due to a lack of iron, taking an iron supplement should be one part of your treatment plan (along with other recommendations). See your doctor if you think this might be the reason behind your thinning locks because they'll be able to help you determine whether or not an over-the-counter supplement is right for you.

8. Use a hair mask once a week

A hair mask is an intensive treatment that you wear on your hair for up to 30 minutes. It can be applied once a week, or even more often if you want to give your locks some extra TLC.

When using a hair mask:

• Apply it after washing and conditioning your hair with shampoo and conditioner. You don't need to rinse out or wash out the product before applying it; just leave it in! This step is key—otherwise, you'll end up washing off all of that nourishing goodness as soon as it touches water.

• Apply the mask evenly from root to tip (that means along every strand). Some masks come in tubes while others come in tubs; if yours comes in a tub, start by scooping some into one hand and applying evenly throughout all of your locks using both hands as needed (using two hands helps ensure maximum coverage). If yours comes in a tube instead, simply squeeze out enough product until there's enough for full coverage across each section of your head.* Use small amounts at first so that you don't end up wasting any product on areas where there are already plenty of nutrients being delivered."

9. Don't brush when wet

• Don't brush when wet. Wet hair is fragile and can break easily.

• Use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush (showering with conditioner on helps this!). Avoid brushing or combing after you've been swimming or showering because the chlorine in your water will damage your hair even more than brushing already would. Also avoid brushing when you have a fever and/or an infection, as these conditions make it harder to heal and can cause more hair loss in addition to making your scalp inflamed and irritated—thus making it susceptible to losing more hair due to any kind of trauma, including brushing!

You can also avoid brushing your hair when it's wet by using a wide-toothed comb. This will help you evenly distribute the natural oils that are produced by your scalp. You should try to avoid using a brush on wet hair as much as possible, especially if it's prone to breakage.

10. Invest in a silk pillowcase

The first thing you should do when you wake up is to remove your silk pillowcase from its package. Throw it on the bed and climb in. The second thing you should do is adjust the temp of your hair straightener from "scorch" to "warm." You know what I'm talking about—that feeling when you touch your hair with the straightener and it feels like a fire has been started at the tip of your head.

Eat breakfast now, but not too much because we still have work to do. Next up: wash that mane of yours! But wait! Before you, shampoo, put conditioner in one hand while holding a piece of tin foil over another hand (both hands must be covered). Massage this mixture into your scalp for 5 minutes; then rinse under warm water until there's no more foam left behind (this also helps prevent split ends). Finally, set aside some time for deep conditioning later today or tomorrow morning before bedtime so there's plenty left over after washing out those tangles later tonight!

11. Take biotin supplements

Biotin is often sold as a hair growth supplement, and it’s inexpensive to buy.

The vitamin is known for helping the body absorb other nutrients, so it may also help your hair grow faster. But taking too much biotin can be dangerous.

In general, experts recommend at least 30 micrograms (mcg) of biotin per day from food or supplements. To prevent side effects like nausea, headaches, and rashes from overexposure to B vitamins, take no more than 2-3 mg of supplemental biotin daily until you’re sure it won’t cause problems for you.

Biotin is water-soluble, so it can be easily flushed out of the body within 24 hours of taking it. Most foods don’t contain biotin, so most people get to eat a well-balanced diet that provides enough naturally.

12. These hacks will help minimize and reverse hair fallout

These hacks will help you minimize and reverse hair fallout. They are easy to do, safe, and effective. The results are impressive!

To use these hacks at home:

• Get a hairbrush with soft bristles. You can also try using a comb or some other type of styling tool that doesn't have any sharp edges or points that could cause your scalp pain or irritation (e.g., as seen in this video).

• It's important to note that using conditioner won't cause any harm unless you have an allergy; however, it may be easier for beginners if they first test out whether their skin is sensitive by applying the conditioner just before bedtime instead of after showering while still wet (this way there's less chance of getting water into the eyes).
