What should I do if my hair is thin and sparse?

If your hair is thin and sparse, you should pay attention to changing some bad habits. Don't use nylon combs because they will generate static electricity on the scalp. Also, don't wash your hair in the morning, don't perm your hair frequently, and eat more vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation.

1. Don’t use a nylon comb.

Nylon combs are prone to generate static electricity, which can cause adverse irritation to the scalp. It is best to use a boxwood comb or a boar bristle brush. In addition, when combing your hair vigorously, do not use a comb with sharp teeth that can easily damage your scalp. It is best to use a comb with round teeth. As women's hair loss is mostly concentrated on the forehead and sides, it is recommended not to pull the comb back forcefully when combing your hair.

2. Don’t wash your hair in the morning, choose to wash it at night. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "the harmony between nature and man". In the morning, people's yang energy slowly rises, so washing your hair at this time is not good for health.

Don't go to bed with wet hair after washing. Blow dry your hair before going to bed. Shampooing will stimulate the brain, which is not conducive to sleep and also affects hair growth.

3. Be careful when blow-drying your hair.

The high temperature from a hair dryer can damage hair tissue, so don't use it too often. You should not perm your hair too many times, because perming liquid has a great impact on the hair, and doing it too many times will seriously damage the hair.

4. Eat more vegetables to prevent constipation.

If vegetable intake is reduced, it can easily cause constipation and "dirty the blood", affecting hair quality and accelerating hair loss on the top of the head. You can eat more black sesame seeds, peanuts, and walnuts to supplement nutrition for your hair.

5. Pay attention to the ventilation of hats and helmets.

Wearing a hat or a helmet can easily damage your hair, especially the pore muscles at the hairline where pressure from the hat or helmet can easily relax and cause hair loss. Therefore, the ventilation of hats and helmets should be ensured, such as by adding hollow hat liners or adding small holes.

6. The air conditioning should be appropriate. The warm and humid air and the cold air from the air conditioner can cause hair loss and gray hair. Air that is too dry or too humid is not good for protecting hair.
