not to overuse styling products. Hairspray, gel, or mousse can damage your hair.
Wearing your hair the same way all the time and pulling the hair tightly can cause hair
loss — this kind is called traction alopecia. Tight hair rollers, cornrows, and pigtails can
all cause this kind of hair loss. To prevent losing your hair this way, just stop pulling
your hair tightly, and if you stop before your scalp scars, your hair will grow back.

LOAD UP ON CALCIUM
Calcium is going to play a big role
in whether you suffer from hair loss. Low
levels of calcium in your diet could lead
to weak hair follicles and hair roots which
will cause your hair to begin to fall out.
Increase the amount of calcium in your
diet to prevent the hair from falling out.
Calcium is a great supplement to receive
if you’re looking to strengthen your hair to
prevent further loss. Calcium is essential
in creating and strengthening bones, nails,
and even the substance hair is made out
of, keratin. Make sure you’re including
some calcium-rich foods or a calcium
supplement in your diet.

EAT PROTEIN RICH FOOD
Protein adds an excellent boost
to your diet and helps the way your
hair will look and grow. It strengthens
hair and prevents it from falling out.
Eat things like fish, meat and nuts for
protein. You can also use a protein
supplement in your drinks every day.
In order to help prevent hair loss, make sure
you are getting enough protein in your diet.
To keep your hair as healthy as possible, try
to eat plenty of protein-rich foods as often
as you can. Some good sources of foods
rich in protein include eggs, seafood, bean
sprouts, almonds, and fish.

WATCH YOUR DIET
To prevent hair loss, watch your
diet and eat healthy foods. When you’re
malnourished or lose too much weight
too fast, you can prompt your body to
shed hair faster than normal. That’s not
a good way to be more attractive, so
be smart about your eating habits and
don’t be too extreme with your diets.
