3. Avoid tight hairstyles such as dreadlocks or tight braiding.

These are very fashionable hairstyles, my daughter had dreadlocks for many years and I loved the look on her. Dreadlocks look great but unfortunately as my daughter discovered is not good for your hair long term. Both tight braids and dreadlocks pull the hair too tight which strains the hair follicles weakening them over time, resulting in hair thinning and eventually hair loss.

4. Avoid using to many hair products

Hair products such as gels, hairsprays, conditioners, mousses and colours can enhance your hair but overuse can damage hair strands or even cause hair loss. When used too often you may get a build up of product in the hair, causing it to weaken and break.

Excessive use of hair products can also cause your hair to become brittle and dry increasing the chance of getting split ends. Product abuse may also cause hair thinning and hair loss. Give your hair a break a couple days a week, this will allow your hair time to regenerate itself.
