Many people think it’s healthy to wash hair daily, this is not true. Washing your hair too often strips your hair of protective oils naturally produced by your scalp, leaving it more prone to getting frizzy and frayed. For men, two to three washes a week is ideal.

If your hair gets greasy quickly, try washing your hair with only water on days your aren’t using shampoo or conditioner. If you start doing this, your hair will overproduce oil until it naturally balances out.

When it comes to the temperature of the water you wash your hair in, hot water dries out hair. It’s more beneficial to use warm or cool water.

Hair is weaker when wet, as water causes keratin molecules in hair to stretch. So roughly towel drying hair can break hair. Instead, use a towel to dab hair dry to get rid of the excess water, then let it air dry.

Just as washing your hair correctly and with the right products is important, so too is styling.

If you like neat styled hair, using gels or pomades when hair is still wet can keep your hair looking fresh fresh and tamed all day. But, only use a coin-sized amount if you have short hair, because using too much will make your hair look oily and greasy.

Gel is usually lighter and easier to work with. While pomades and creams are good for curly hair, since they are thicker. 

While blow ding your hair will dry it quicker, it will eventually start causing your hair to break and damage it. If you have thinning hair, don’t blow dry at all and let it air dry.

If your hair is longer, there are extra things you need to do to maintain a  good condition and looking clean and fresh.

Deep condition frizzy hair. Get a deep conditioning product or mask and use it once a week.

Use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush as they break hair.

Invest in a hair oil, as using a small amount while hair is wet will act as a leave-in conditioner. 

While thinning hair is a part of life and growing up, it can be prevented and managed.

As stated, the way you wash your hair, how often, drying hair and what products you use can all help in aided thinning hair. So follow the steps above.

Using products that are targeted to thinning hair can go along way to improve hair condition and feel and generate hair growth.

Taking care of your scalp is vital when it comes to thinning hair. If the scalp is not cared for properly, then build-up from sweat, dirt and excess oils can block the follicles. A clean and healthy scalp generates hair growth.
