Is it better to have long hair or short hair for hair loss?

When hair loss occurs, many people think that shaving the head or keeping short hair will help hair growth. However, research has found that whether the hair is cut short or not has nothing to do with whether there is hair loss or not, because hair loss is an internal reason and hair growth will not be affected by the length of the hair. If hair loss occurs, some better methods should be used to treat it, and attention should be paid to hair care and nourishment.

Is it better to have long hair or short hair for hair loss?

There is no use cutting your hair short when you are losing it. Because there is no necessary connection between cutting hair short and severe hair loss. Hair loss is an internal reaction. Even if you cut your hair short, the fundamental problem is not solved and hair loss cannot be stopped. There are dozens of reasons for hair loss. To completely solve the problem of hair loss, you have to find out the cause and treat it fundamentally. In addition, if you suffer from frequent hair loss, you should avoid dyeing, perming and pulling your hair, as these behaviors can cause great damage to your hair and accelerate hair loss.

What to do about hair loss

1. Pay attention to the techniques of shampooing and drying hair

Shampooing: 1. Choose a weakly acidic shampoo that is suitable for your own hair; 2. When washing, pour an appropriate amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand, add water and rub gently, and only touch the scalp and hair after foaming; 3. Do not rub your hair too hard when your hands touch your hair, because wet hair is fragile and easily damaged; 4. It is better to wash your hair if you let the hair hang naturally; 5. It is best to use conditioner after washing.

Drying hair: 1. Wet hair is fragile and easily damaged, so when drying hair, it is better to press and pat it dry with a dry towel instead of rubbing it with a towel; 2. The high heat of a hair dryer can damage the hair, so the temperature should be low rather than high when using it. Note that hair that is still dripping or already dry should not be blown dry; 3. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.

2. Comb your hair correctly

Choose a wide-toothed wooden or keratin comb instead of a plastic comb that can easily generate static electricity. Comb the hair in sections along its natural drooping direction. Segmentation means combing the distal hair ends first and then the proximal hair roots to remove tangles. Combing your hair a hundred times in the morning and evening can help prevent baldness and dandruff.

3. Try to avoid or reduce the number of times you perm or dye your hair

Certain chemicals contained in perming lotion (perm essence) and most hair dyes have the adverse effect of damaging hair quality. For example, frequent use can make hair dry and dull, hair "hair" not smooth, hair tangled and easily knotted, hair brittle and easy to break. The degree of damage increases with the number of hairdressing sessions. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid perming or dyeing your hair as much as possible, or at least increase the intervals and reduce the number of hairdressing sessions.
