So, before you browse for hair replacement clinics, see if our tips below can help you slow down your hair loss.

• Brush your hair with brushes that have natural fibers, such as boar hair brushes as they are less likely to cause split ends. The reason these brushes are the best is the way they are made as they help close the hair cuticles and evenly distribute hair’s natural oils making it soft and shiny. Because these brushes are made out of the actual boar’s hair, they are very fragile and must be maintained regularly. Regular brush maintenance will also benefit your scalp because if not cleaned, accumulated dirt from your hair on the brush will again be transferred on your hair and scalp.
• Regular scalp massage will improve blood circulation which will stimulate the growth of healthy and strong hair. There are numerous blood vessels in your scalp which carry oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles so regular scalp massage is recommended. It is best to start from your forehead and gradually continue to the back of your head. Do this in gentle circular motions. Few minutes are enough to stimulate blood circulation.
• Always use a shampoo and conditioner which agree with your natural pH of the hair and never use a soap bar. Also, always buy natural shampoo which does not contain harmful chemicals. Natural shampoos can greatly improve the condition of your scalp and therefore, your hair as well as they do not strip your hair from its natural oils but instead hydrate and protected it.
• Never wash your hair with hot water as it dries scalp. Make sure the water is always lukewarm to medium hot and always finish with cooler water rinse. This will close the hair cuticle.
• Avoid frequent blow drying and try to not expose your hair to high heat of curling and flat irons that much. It is recommended to gently dry hair with a towel without rubbing and let it fully dry naturally. Also, be gentle with your hair and try to wear it loose. Avoid harsh styling and if you have thinning hair and are trying to camouflage it with new hair extensions, always use the extensions made out of natural hair.
• Avoid various chemical treatments such as hair dyeing, perms, etc. These treatments can change the basic structure of your hair and make it prone to breakage.
