There’s a lot of things that contribute to hair loss, the biggest reasons being genes. It’s really hard to beat hair loss when it’s basically written into your genetic make up. But little things we do every day can actually help our hair to fall out! For example, did you know that the comb you use could irritate your scalp and speed up hair loss?

Turns out that combs with sharp teeth and narrow bristles can actually irritate the skin on your scalp and increase your hair loss frequency. Yikes! The solution? Look for combs with smooth ends and wider spaces between the teeth for combing your hair. This way, you don’t irritate your scalp and cause hair loss to increase (who would ever want that?).
