Usually an adult loses up to 100 hairs a day, which is quite normal. New hair replaces the old one as they grow from the roots. But is you are losing hair at an alarming rate in the young age, and then you need to visit a doctor. Which can prescribe you the right things to be used on your hair.

Always use good quality products for your hair. If you keep changing the brand and never bother about the type of the shampoo and conditioner for your hair, you can damage your hair. Always brush your hair properly and never brush them when they are wet as hairs and their roots are the weakest when they are wet. Most of us have a habit of brushing hair hard with a towel to remove the water from the wet hair after shampoo. Its very wrong for their health as it weakens the roots and hair breaks more. So after washing always wrap your hair in a towel for a while.

Avoid drying your hair with hair drier. The hot air is not good for the hair. It makes them rough and dry and damages the natural color and shine. Let the hair dry naturally in natural air. Do not tie hair too hard it will weaken the roots of them and if once hair start losing from the roots they don't grow back under the same root. Some people start losing their hair in patches because of some scalp infection or genetic problems, as baldness is something, which is hereditary. It cannot be cured if the problem becomes serious so start taking precaution if you notice the hair fall at an alarming rate. Be hygiene conscious for your hair. Do not share your hairbrush, combs and towel with others to prevent your scalp from any infection.

So eat and drink healthy and live a healthy lifestyle for the good of your hair and your body.
