Thin hair: how to avoid bad habits
Unlike other types of hair, thin hair needs more care and attention as it is more delicate and subject to wear out more easily. To solve the problem, there are many solutions, mostly do-it-yourself, which can improve the state and condition of our hair, even on an aesthetic level. We see below the best solutions to follow absolutely.
Thin hair: bad habits to avoid
Among the most frequent errors and therefore, consequently, the solutions to be implemented, there is certainly that of washing your hair too often. In general, shampooing almost every day or every other day is not recommended because it affects the health of the scalp. And also, by washing them very frequently, the hair will tend to get dirty more and more easily. But beyond that, it can cause them to break, especially in very thin hair.
Conversely, washing them about twice a week is ideal for keeping them healthy and strong.
Another deleterious action for thin hair is don’t be delicate: from brushing to using too aggressive products. These are all elements that only damage them, thus contributing to their malaise and their wearing out.

Obviously you can continue to use them but trying to keep them at least 20 centimeters away from the hair and protect them with thermo protective products.
But we must not forget to trim our hair frequently, so as to make it grow stronger and healthier, thus avoiding its breakage.
Thin hair: smoking and stress, the worst habits
Finally, stress and smoking are the worst and wrong habits to be avoided absolutely. Especially the former can really damage (even permanently) the health of the hair as, by increasing cortisol levels, leads to the weakening and therefore, to the fall of these. Of course, it is impossible not to get stressed out by the busy life we lead. But finding other healthy “vices” that replace smoking is already a first step to start getting better!
