Hair care is vital for healthy hair. However, harsh hair care can actually trigger hair loss. Unfortunately, harsh hair care can be as simple as overusing healthy hair practices. For instance, many individuals undergo chemical treatments for their hair, including bleaching, dyeing, and straightening. Although the occasional chemical treatment is fine, doing them too much causes brittle hair and significant breakage. Eventually, this leads to hair loss. Excessive heat styling is another aspect of harsh hair care that often causes hair loss. Heat styling, for reference, includes blow-drying, straightening, and curling hair.

Individuals need to shampoo their hair to keep it clean and healthy. However, even this action can become harsh hair care. Specifically, shampooing too often strips the hair of its natural oils and moisture. Even certain ingredients can be too harsh for the hair, such as ones found in clarifying shampoos. Ultimately, individuals need to avoid harsh hair care in order to prevent this form of hair loss.
