If you’re dealing with thinning hair or hair that falls out easily, your hair might be suffering from sustained hair damage.
While hair loss and hair thinning can be stressful and discouraging, don’t panic! With the right hair care routine and the right products, you can strengthen and thicken your hair’s bonds, preventing breakage and restoring healthy hair.
What causes hair to fall out?
Hair fall can be triggered by a number of different factors, either related to your health or your haircare routine.
Here are some typical (non-medical) reasons you might be experiencing frequent hair fallout or hair thinning:
- Sustained hair damage – e.g. using hot irons, curling irons and hairdryers without using a heat-protective hair product. Heat can cause hair breakage, leading to hair fall and hair loss.
- Tight ponytails, braids, and other styles – while ponytails and braids look great, they can cause some serious damage to your hair. Frequently wearing your hair in a ponytail can cause hair breakage, leading to hair fall and hair thinning.
- Bleaching – many people report sustained hair loss and hair thinning after coloring their hair. This is because bleach is abrasive and harsh on the hair’s proteins, and can cause long-term hair loss over time. This is particularly true if you have darker hair and frequently bleach it blonde or lighter.

How to Promote Hair Regrowth: Beauty Pro Tips
By picking one of the anti hair-fall shampoos listed above, you’ll be helping strengthen and nourish your hair, which will lead to thicker locks and faster re-growth.
Alongside using the right shampoo, we’d also recommend following some of our expert-certified Beauty Pro tips for increasing your hair re-growth and preventing breakage:
- Use fewer hot tools – hot tools are going to damage your hair and create further breakage. Either use a heat protection product or give your hair a break from heat for a while.
- Don’t overwashyou hair – while some shampoos might be suitable for daily use, don’t overwash your hair if it isn’t necessary. Overwashing can strip essential nutrients from the hair, resulting in delayed regrowth.
