Hair care tips! 1. Tight hair styles like tight braids and ponytails can lead to hair loss. We call this type of hair loss traction alopecia. I’m early stages, the hair loss is reversible, but chronic use of tight hair styles can lead to permanent hair loss. 2. When shampooing it’s important to shampoo the scalp. This is the area you want to clean. Shampooing the entire length of your hair can make your hair dull. 3. Conditioner should be used on your hair tips to avoid scalp residue and limp looking hair. 4. Excessive heat damages hair. Try to air dry your hair when possible. Be sure to use low heat settings and a heat protector when using heat to style your hair. 5. Millions of men and women suffer from hair loss. Hair loss is simply a symptom. It’s important to know the cause of this symptom in order to treat it. See a board certified dermatologist for a complete evaluation and appropriate treatment. Special thank you to @themaryamsafaee @safaeeskin for letting be use her luscious locks for this fun reel!
