5. Never tease Teasing or backcombing hair is not recommended even for women without hair loss problems. Teasing breaks hair and can even contribute to the appearance of hair loss.

6. Color treat and perm with care Perming and color treating, when done incorrectly can cause severe hair breakage. Hair can break very close to the scalp and even cause the appearance of complete hair loss in that follicle. If you suffer from hair loss make sure to read and follow all product instructions with the utmost of care.

In addition to daily care, hair loss in women can be helped with some dietary changes. Make sure to get enough lean, healthy protein (chicken or fish are good choices). Protein is needed by the cells that make hair in order to work efficiently. Iron deficient anemia can cause hair loss, so make sure to get enough iron in your diet. Eat two servings of iron rich foods daily (tofu, clams, soybeans, broccoli, etc.). In addition, according to Dr. Caserio, 100 milligrams daily of vitamin B6 can also been helpful. However, larger amounts and prolonged use can be toxic, so check with your doctor.
