Taking care of your hair is a big responsibility. Dead hair falls out on its own, but you may be pulling your hair out faster with the things you do. The gentler you are with your hair, the less it will fall out. While some of the causes of hair loss can't be helped, there are several things you can do to let your hair grow to its potential.
Don't put your hair into tight ponytails or cornrows. Use butterfly clips and loose braids instead.
Minimize how much you style your hair. Any kind of styling that involves pulling your hair at the root (blow drying straight, straight iron, curling iron, rollers) will contribute to hair loss. Heat styling also can encourage hair to break. If you really need to dry your hair fast, use a blow dryer for 5 minutes only.
Brush your hair before you shower in the morning. Throughout the night your hair can knot up pretty bad. Brushing your hair before you shower reduces tangling in the shower. When using conditioner, try sifting your fingers through your hair. This reduces extensive combing after your shower and helps distribute the conditioner evenly.

Avoid or minimize harsh treatments like dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners, and permanent waves. These weaken your hair and increase the likelihood of breakage and loss.
Take a daily multivitamin. Your body needs several building blocks in order to produce a healthy head of hair, and you can easily meet your body's requirement by taking a multivitamin consistently.
Relax stress is a common cause of reversible hair loss. When you experience physical or emotional turmoil, it can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months for the results to show up in your hair.
Address any pressing health issues. Hair is a strong indicator of health. Many nutritional deficiencies can cause hair growth to slow, and can cause hair to thin. Hormonal problems such as hypothyroidism and PCOS can also cause thinning.
Naturally improve hair quality and growth. This can be done by warming coconut oil for 1-2 minutes in a microwave and apply to scalp. Allow the oil to soak into scalp for an hour before washing. This increases hair growth and strength and also adds a luster or shine to your hair.
