Gentle combing or brushing of your hair will help break up hardened oils that clog your pores. It is recommended that you comb or brush 100-200 strokes in the morning and at night.
Avoid excessive wind, sun, and heat (such as from hair dryers, hot showers, and curling irons) on your hair.
Tight fitting caps and hats will cause poor circulation in your scalp and will also cause build-up of sweat and grime.

don't pull your hair when you brush and avoid braids and ponytails if possible, they place constant stress on your hair.
Get enough sleep.
Use a conditioner and trim any split ends.
See your doctor or a dermatologist for advice if you have concerns about hair loss and want to seek treatment.
