Your hair is shedding nonstop? These bad habits could be to blame
Summer can be extremely disrespectful to your hair. One day you are brushing your hairs like the main character of a shampoo advertisement and the next day your hair starts falling everywhere, on your pillow, bathroom floor, hairbrush and even on your clothes.
And let’s be real, seeing a bunch of hair stuck in the shower drain feels like a personal tragedy.
Before you start convincing yourself that baldness is knocking at your door, your everyday habits might be the real villains behind your damaged hair.
Here at 24NewsHD, we have listed common mistakes that could be ruining your hair and what you should do, if you want healthier and stronger strands.
1. Too much heat styling
Your straightener and curling machine may help you serve looks, but excessive heat can leave your hair dry and weak.
Try limiting heat styling and always use a heat protectant before styling.
2. Over washing your hair
Washing your hair every single day can strip away natural oils that keep your strands healthy.
Experts recommend washing hair two to three times a week depending on your hair type.
3. Using harsh shampoos
Some shampoos contain ingredients that can make your hair dry and rough.
Switch to mild shampoos that cleanse your scalp without damaging your strands.

4. Wearing tight hairstyles
That ponytail may look cute on Instagram, but pulling your hair tightly can weaken roots and cause breakage.
Looser hairstyles can save your hairline from unnecessary hair-fall.
5. Skipping conditioner
If shampoo is your favorite and conditioner is your enemy, your hair may be suffering.
Conditioner helps restore moisture and keeps hair soft and manageable.
6. Rough towel drying
Aggressively rubbing your wet hair with a towel can cause frizz and breakage.
Instead, gently pat your hair dry or use a microfiber towel.
7. Brushing wet hair harshly
Wet hair is fragile and breaks easily.
Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends.

8. Using very hot water
Hot showers feel relaxing, but your hair hates them.
Extremely hot water can strip moisture and make hair look dull.
Use lukewarm water instead.
9. Poor diet
Your hair needs proper nutrients to grow.
Living on fries, snacks and soft drinks will not help your hair survive.
Add protein, fruits and vegetables to your meals for stronger hair.
10. Skipping hair oiling
And yes, your grandmother was right.
Applying natural oils like coconut oil, rosemary oil, or argan oil can help nourish your scalp, reduce dryness and support healthier hair growth.
A gentle scalp massage while oiling can also improve blood circulation.
Healthy hair does not happen through expensive products alone. Sometimes it simply means stopping habits that are silently destroying your strands.
