Over-Washing – Washing your hair too frequently strips it of natural oils, leading to dryness and breakage, contributing to thinning.
Heat Styling – Excessive use of heat tools like straighteners and curling irons weakens hair fibers, causing damage and thinning over time.
Tight Hairstyles – Constantly wearing tight ponytails or braids can cause traction alopecia, a form of hair loss due to stress on the follicles.
Poor Diet – A lack of essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E can lead to weak, brittle hair that is more prone to thinning.
Stress – Chronic stress can trigger hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium, causing hair to shed and thin over time.
Over-Brushing – Brushing hair too aggressively or too often can cause breakage, leading to thinning and frizziness.
