Hair loss is increasingly becoming a big problem in our society today.
More females are experiencing loss of hair than before.
The causes of hair loss nowadays are more self induced.
However, women are unaware of how their actions affect their hair.
Females have to be made aware of what they are not doing right.
This is the first step to preventing loss.
Appearance is very important in the female population.
Sometimes it has to make a 'statement' just like the outfit.
This is where styles come in handy.
There are uncountable styles that are employed for a good appearance.
The bun, chignon and the ponytail are just a few examples.
These hairstyles involve tying the hair tight at the back of the head.
This means that there is a lot of tension that the hair strands feel.
This makes it easy for the hair strands to break.
This is what causes the hair at the front of the head to break.
This is the hairline and as it breaks, it is pushed further back.
There are also hair styles where the hair is parted and then tied.
It is a normal practice to have the parting in the same site.
The hairs by the part are the ones that will experience the most tension and are the ones that break first.
Hair can also be put into a lot of different styles.
There are various types of extensions like braids and weaves.
These also involve putting tension on the strands.
For example, braids put stress on the hair in localized positions all over the head.
When plaiting the weave, it has to be braided first and then the weave sewn on.
This means the hair undergoes 'double' stress.
Generally hair styles that pull the hair put tension on the hair strands.
Pulling also damages the follicles.
When the follicles get damaged, hair will obviously be lost.
In order not to experience hair loss, styles that pull the hair should be avoided as much as possible.
If you like parting, then changing the position of the part will lower localized hair damage.
Keeping untied is the best way to ensure it does not get damaged.
The scalp will not be damaged and it will be able to heal better.
This means there will be no damage to the follicles.
Females also like their hair to be glossy and straight.
This is why they apply chemicals which make the glossier and straighter.
They also apply dyes to change the color of their hair.
These chemicals, however, can destroy the hair structure.
When the structure of the hair is destroyed, then hair loss will occur.
It is possible for hair to be beautiful in its natural state and color.
One can treat the hair with oils and lotions to keep it looking shiny and healthy.
Preventing loss is better than looking for a cure.
Although it can be treated, the methods of treatment may be expensive.
