Everybody loses hair every day. On average, healthy people lose between 50 and 100 hair a day. So, if you are concerned about finding a lot of hair in the shower plug, here are some crucial considerations before you panic:

• Do you frequently empty the shower plug? If you don’t clean it every day, it is fair to say that the hairy nest could be the result of several days or weeks of accumulation!
• Long hair always seems a lot more dramatic. If you compare 100 short hairs and 100 long hair, you may find it hard to believe that the actual quantities are the same. Don’t be fooled by appearances!
• Vacuuming in a small bathroom can pick up a lot of hair from the floor. Here again, remember that hair accumulates as fast as dust! It may not be as much as it actually seems. 

Nevertheless, if you still find that your hair is thinning or you are losing too much of it, there may be some lifestyle adjustments you can make. 

Physical activity is great until

Physical activity can enhance your overall body health, which will also improve hair health. However, when it comes to gym aficionados, you want to be careful. 

Health supplements for the gym, such as Creatine can have a bad rep when it comes to hair health. Does Creatine cause hair loss? There is currently no clear answer. However, Creatine can increase the presence of a hormone. DHT, which, in excess, has been known to encourage hair loss. More importantly, excessive supplementation of any kind can cause hormonal imbalance, which is prone to lead to physical transformations such as thinning hair. 

Stress and hair loss

If you are familiar with stress-related baldness, alopecia, you probably know that the condition is reversible if you can reduce your stress levels. Alopecia can cause bald patches or even full hair loss, depending on its severity. Stress is a significant factor in managing the condition. Focusing on relaxation and mindful activities can help preserve your hair health.

Not knowing your hair products

Using the wrong products for your haircare regime can have a dramatic impact. Are you unsure whether your hair products are doing their jobs? Here are some clues that they could be damaging your mane. Dry hair is an indication that the products you use fail to nourish and replenish moisture in the hair. So, it can be useful to switch to a moisturising product instead of your regular shampoo. Stiff hair, such as hair that won’t hold a curl, is another sign of deep product damage. 

Everyday hair stressors

Your hair goes through a lot day after day. Simple changes can considerably reduce breakage in the long term:

• Reduce the use of tight hairstyles such as high ponytails
• Try to keep your hair loose from time to time to reduce pressure
• By gentle with sports equipment, helmets and other head gear that could damage or break your hair
• Protect your hair from extreme temperatures; wearing a hat in winter is good for the hair!

Hair loss is daunting. However, it doesn’t mean the situation is hopeless. Many people experience abnormal hair loss due to hormonal imbalances, high stress, ineffective routine gestures, and lack of hair product knowledge. The bottom line: The sooner you identify the problem, the sooner you can heal your hair!
