Whether you’re facing complete hair loss or just managing thinning hair on a daily basis, knowing how to care for it is crucial to maintaining your confidence and living life to the fullest.
It’s worth noting that if your hair loss is negatively impacting your overall well-being, you can always explore options such as hair toppers or wigs in Miami to help restore your confidence.
Caring for your thinning hair should include the following steps:
Using the best shampoo and conditioner
It’s always worth investing in the highest-quality shampoo and conditioner for your hair, whether it’s thinning or not, but especially if it is. Since your hair is just as unique as you are, having a discussion with a local stylist or doing some research online is recommended to find the best products for you specific needs.
Washing less and using less
Frequent washing (such as daily or every other day) can ruin thinning hair, making it oilier and more stressed. Try to wash your hair a couple of times a week, and when washing, avoid using large amounts of shampoo and conditioner, as this can lead to build-up, which isn’t fun for your follicles.
Treating it gently
As you will likely already know, thinning hair can be incredibly fragile, especially when it’s wet and easy to break with vigorous brushing or rough styling. So try to use a comb with wide teeth after washing, and avoid any styles that involve the hair being pulled back tightly away from the face, as this can potentially cause hair loss.
Avoiding heated styling tools
Subjecting your thin hair to heated styling will almost certainly damage it over time, and if you must heat it on a daily basis, use a protective product before doing so. It can also be helpful to leave 3/4 of your hair to dry naturally before styling it.
Sleeping in silk!
Cotton pillowcases can leave you with tangled, knotty hair after a full night’s sleep, and bacteria can also be an issue. Try swapping to silk pillowcases. Silk is much kinder to your hair and you should wake up with less—well, bed hair!
Having regular trims
While having your hair cut regularly won’t make it grow any quicker (there’s no science behind this popular misconception), it will help reduce split ends, which can make thin hair look even thinner as it splits further up the shaft. To keep your hair looking healthy and fuller, schedule regular trims with your favourite stylist.
