The average person loses about 100 hairs per day. These hairs grow back, and with constant hair loss and regrowth, daily shedding is totally normal and barely noticeable.<\/p>\n<h3>Reasons for hair loss<\/h3>\n<p>However, when these hairs do not grow back, or when a person experiences shedding that far exceeds 100 hairs per day, you could be experiencing hair loss. In which case, it&#8217;s time to start taking action to help reduce excessive hair loss and encourage growth. There are various reasons as to why you may suffer from hair loss, and some are more complicated to treat than others.<\/p>\n<p>These include genetics, lifestyle, as well as tension hairstyles.\u00a0Certain types of hair loss is genetic, and unfortunately, there is very little (or nothing) that can be done about it. This is commonly known as alopecia areata and female\/male pattern hair loss. When it comes to lifestyle,\u00a0stress and an unhealthy diet can lead to hair loss.\u00a0Many women report experiencing hair loss during severely stressful periods of their lives. Luckily, in most cases, hair grows back after the stressful period ends. Many illnesses and medical conditions can also lead to hair loss.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23207 aligncenter\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5-mistakes-youre-making-while-bloe-drying-your-hair-300x197.jpg\" alt=\"5-mistakes-youre-making-while-bloe-drying-your-hair\" width=\"702\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5-mistakes-youre-making-while-bloe-drying-your-hair-300x197.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5-mistakes-youre-making-while-bloe-drying-your-hair-104x69.jpg 104w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5-mistakes-youre-making-while-bloe-drying-your-hair.jpg 700w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5-mistakes-youre-making-while-bloe-drying-your-hair-214x140.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tension hairstyles can also contribute to hair loss, known as\u00a0\u2018traction alopecia. This refers to a type of hair loss that occurs when the hair is repeatedly pulled at. This can result from high-tension hairstyles such as braids and dreadlocks, and is also prevalent among women who use chemicals to treat or straighten their hair. This type of hair loss is usually\u00a0temporary but can\u00a0become permanent with prolonged or repeated trauma.\u00a0The chronic pulling of the hair associated with high tension hairstyles may cause too much tension and traction on the hair follicles, which may cause them to permanently dislodge from the scalp.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Find the best prices on haircare products online with PriceCheck now:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/300\/Haircare?utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_Top_Tips_to_Reduce_Hair_Loss_Increase_Growth&amp;utm_content=Top_Tips_to_Reduce_Hair_Loss_Increase_Growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21641 size-medium\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png\" alt=\"view offers\" width=\"300\" height=\"57\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How to prevent &amp; treat hair loss<\/h3>\n<p>While there are some instances in which medical intervention may be necessary, there are many things that can be done to avoid hair loss from happening and to help encourage hair growth. Here are 3 top tips to help combat hair loss:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28185 aligncenter\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brush_hair-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"brush hair\" width=\"707\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brush_hair-300x200.jpeg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brush_hair-768x513.jpeg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brush_hair-104x69.jpeg 104w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/brush_hair.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Lead a healthy lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A healthy lifestyle is essential for a healthy body that functions optimally. Low levels of iron and vitamin D may contribute to hair loss, so it\u2019s important to maintain sufficient levels of those nutrients, even if by means of supplementation. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and avoid processed foods as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Reconsider your hairstyle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you wear your hair in a high tension style, it might be time to reconsider. Ask your hairstylist to create looser braids or dreads to prevent traction alopecia, and try to remove your braids every couple of months and alternate them with other styles. Minimise heat styling and if you want to relax your hair, make sure that this treatment is done by a professional. If you start to experience hair loss, avoid relaxers completely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
