Prevention Tips

There are no prevention guidelines for the most common type of hair loss. However, the following tips may help you avoid other types of hair loss:
  • Do not pull your hair tightly into a ponytail, cornrows, or curlers.
  • Learn and practice stress-management techniques.
  • Obtain medical care for acute illnesses and to manage chronic conditions.

Exercising, eating well, getting enough sleep, drinking lots of water and reducing stress promote scalp health.
