How to Avoid Hair Loss

An estimated 95 percent of hair loss is genetic, but other factors, such as nutrition, overall
health, hormone deficiencies, overcoloring of hair and emotional stress, can be controlled
somewhat.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Wash your hair regularly in warm water and use a deep conditioner.
• STEP 2: Eat a balanced diet. Nutritional deficiencies, eating disorders and
excessive amounts of certain vitamins, such as A and E, can cause hair loss.
• STEP 3: Take care of your health. Chronic illness, high fevers and infections can
contribute to hair loss.
• STEP 4: Stay away from harsh chemicals - permanent hair color and perms are
the most damaging - and avoid coloring your hair more than once every six to
eight weeks.
• STEP 5: Avoid hairstyles like ponytails and cornrows, which stretch and pull
hair.
• STEP 6: Keep in mind that it's normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day.
• STEP 7: Consult your general physician or dermatologist regarding concerns
about hair loss.
