Can Hair Products Really Cause Hair Loss?

Do hair products cause hair loss? Can hair gel cause hair loss? This is a common question people ask us. Of course, hair styling and hair loss have a relationship in many cases. Alcohol-based hair gels that dry out the hair can cause it to break. In addition, many other compounds in gels can react with the cell buildup and sebum on the scalp. It can result in clogging of the hair follicles and lead to hair fall. Thus, one must look for alcohol-free hair gels to prevent hair loss.

There are some activities that we have been doing wrong all our life that we were not aware of before. Even if you do the following small changes, it would make a huge difference in the health and look of your hair:

• Always wrap your washed hair in a towel and dry it. Air drying would do equally good.
• The use of brush should be restricted as it may cause split ends. Use of wide-toothed combs and brush, while you untangle your hair gently, is preferable.
• Do not handle your wet hair with a comb or a brush. Let it dry off at least partially before you tackle it as wet hair is more prone to damage.
• Curb the use of long-lasting products like gels and hairsprays as it increases friction and can cause your strands to break after application.
• Always use the iron on medium heat settings and avoid excessive heating.
• Constantly wearing ponytails, braids, and hair extensions also produce tension and cause hair loss. Why not try hairstyles that do not produce much stress, it might just give you a new one to show off.
• Get strictly lightweight weaves and hair extensions in specialized salons as they can permanently destroy your hair follicles. Avoid using rubber bands.
• Using hair color, perm, straightening or bleach can cause your hair to look dull as it erodes the integrity of the hair strands. Have only one hair treatment at a time and ensure a gap of 5-6 weeks between two procedures.
• Be aware of the signs of traction alopecia like itching of the scalp, tenderness, and relief on untying your hair.
• Limit the use of blow dryers as they can burn your hair and weaken them.
• Using vitamin E products that act as a moisturizer, consumption of green leafy vegetables, and keeping your iron in check are all keys to better hair growth.
