Wet hair is more prone to breakage than dry hair, as the protective cuticle in wet hair is slightly raised. To prevent hair fall from breakage, which, in turn, leads to thinner hair, do not comb your hair when it’s wet. Instead, gently detangle it with your fingers and dry it with a soft towel. Wait for it to dry naturally before you comb it properly.

6. Tying Your Hair Too Tight

Hair loss and thinning hair could also be caused by the way you do your hair. Hair that is tightly wound or tied up puts excessive pressure on the hair follicles, damaging them. To avoid hair loss due to this, try changing your hairstyle every day. When you pull your hair back, ensure that it is not too tight. And, this one is important, always tie your hair in a very loose ponytail or braid when you sleep.
