Jaisal Kaur

Exposing your head directly to the sun, pollution, dust and rain, makes the hair dry and causes breakage. 

Brushing your hair when it’s wet causes breakage, split ends and damage.

Using a lot of heat styling tools on your hair without a heat shield causes damage.

Hot water can cause excessive dryness of the hair, which makes the hair vulnerable to damage. 

Another major causes of hair fall is dehydration or drinking less liquids.

Binge eating or snacking can also cause deficiency of key nutrients needed for healthy hairs. 

Dryness in scalp and not applying oil leads to lack of proper nutrition reaching to the hair.

Overdoing of hair care such as routine shampooing, blow drying, using heated styling devices, etc, can all cause hair loss.
