Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Avoid the use of blow dryers. These common household appliances could cause damage to wet hair by blowing excessive heat on the hair shaft, causing it to become extremely fragile.

  2. Step 2

    Do not comb your hair while it is wet. Wet hair is usually weak and is best left alone until it has dried, preferably by air alone, to prevent additional hair loss.

  3. Step 3

    Talk to your doctor and find out it you might have medical conditions such as diabetes or lupus which can cause hair to fall out. Ask your doctor to check for hormonal imbalances that may be causing the hair loss.

  4. Step 4

    Try aromatherapy. Solutions for hair loss contain grapeseed oil, jojoba oil and some essential oils such as lavender and cedarwood. Natural solutions have no side effects so the risks are virtually nonexistent.

  5. Step 5

    Make sure to get enough calcium in your daily nutrition, and take a supplement if necessary. Sulfur is another main component of your hair, and it can be found in fish, onions, garlic, eggs and dairy products. Vitamins A and C are antioxidants that help maintain the health of skin and hair, so stock up on those as well.
