Curly Hair Guide To Hair Loss

Taking care of your hair is complex. It's time-consuming to shampoo your hair, condition it, and on the days where you feel like pampering yourself (as you should) using a hair treatment. Just the process of doing all of this and then waiting for your hair to dry so you can style it can be exhausting. 

And it's twice as much work when you have curly hair. If hair care seems like a struggle for people with straight hair, it is a tussle for curly hair. It takes twice as long to wash your hair thoroughly and condition it to have the proper care it needs. Curly hair comes with many dos and don'ts, and it can be hard to figure out what you're doing wrong and how to fix it or what you're doing right and how to keep doing it. 

The thing with curly hair is, it's hard to understand what your hair is trying to tell you. It's hard to do everyday stuff like monitor scalp health and keep an eye out for excessive hair fall when you have curly hair. 

Hair fall is brutal to monitor when it comes to curly hair. With straight or wavy hair, hair fall is noticeable anytime you brush your hair or run your fingers through it. People with curly hair don't brush their hair that often, and when they do, it's hard to differentiate between hair fall and shedding.

Shedding is when a hair strand breaks right from the hair follicle. Shedding is different from hair breakage. Hair breakage is when a strand of hair is broken off due to damage--an easy way to recognize if it's shedding or breakage is to examine the hair strand. If you notice a bulb-like structure at the end of it, it is shedding. If not, then it is hair breakage.  

It is normal to lose around 50 to 100 hair strands every day, but if you experience a higher amount of hair loss than that, you are experiencing excessive shedding. 

Shedding can be caused by several reasons, including stress, illnesses, dandruff, weight loss, scalp build-up, etc. Identifying the cause of shedding can help stop it early on. 

If you identify that your shedding is caused by dandruff or scalp build-up, you can incorporate a few techniques to rectify the issue. 

Massaging the scalp helps circulate blood to the scalp and improves scalp health. Using essential oils while massaging has proven to be effective.
