Hair defines our identity and grooms our personality and appearance. That’s why we should be careful while handling our hair. We are very careless in our daily routine in regards to our hair. We sleep with wet hair, don’t eat proper food, brush wet hair, don’t drink enough water, improper sleep timings etc.
When our hair starts to show signs of damage only then we start searching for tips, home remedies, medicines, treatments etc. However, you must visit a trichologist to get a proper fix for hair loss. Trichologist Dubai will tell you about what your hair and scalp say about your health and will devise a treatment accordingly.

1.Dandruff:

Dandruff is a very common problem nowadays. It affects our hair in a negative manner. It not only promotes hair fall but dries out our hair as well.
• Preventive Measures:
“Wash your hair with a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo.

2. Thinning Hair:

Most women suffer from thinning of hair through the menopause. The changes in women’s body lead to hormonal imbalances, due to which they have to suffer from the hair loss problem.

3. Premature Graying

Premature graying happens, mostly due to genetics. But stress, depression and hormonal factors can also affect your hair color.
• Preventive Measures:
Avoid smoking and alcohol.

4. Bald Spots:

Bald spots are often a result of wearing your hair tightly in a tight ponytail, braid, or hair extensions attached to your scalp.
• Preventive Measures:
Stop wearing your hair in a tight ponytail etc.

5. Dehydration:

When your hair gives a dull, dry, and brittle look then it means that you are not getting sufficient water. You could be simply dehydrated.
• Preventive Measures:
Drink at least 2 or 3 liters of fluid a day like juices, shakes etc and avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks.

6. Too Much Testosterone:

The dark facial hair on your upper lip or hair thickening on your arms could be the sign of too much testosterone. While it might promote hair growth on your body, it can make you lose hair on your scalp.

Exercise regularly.

7. Improper Diet:

We don’t eat healthy food instead we like to junk food which is high in saturated fat.
• Preventive Measures:
• Eat nutrient-rich foods like fresh fruit and vegetables

• Foods with omega-3s and monounsaturated fats like fish and avocados
• Increase the intake of protein, iron and red meat.

8. Stress:

According to both dermatologists and psychiatrists, thinning hair can be caused due to stress, tensions and depressions. Your mental health is as important for your hair as your physical health.
• Preventive Measures:
• Get eight hours of sleep a night.
• Perform stress reducing activities like participating in sports, hiking etc.
