Get the ultimate amount of body for your hair by avoiding these hair care mistakes.

People normally shed about a hundred hair strands in a day, but if you've noticed your hair looks thinner than before or you're shedding more hair than usual, pay attention to your hair habits and see if they might be the culprit to your thinning hair.

Get the ultimate amount of body for your hair by avoiding these hair care mistakes:

Tying wet hair

Tying your hair when it's still wet can cause Traction Alopecia according to Dermstore Blog. It can also cause thinning of the hairline and hair breakage and fallout. Consider tying your hair less frequently or at least dry it before tying it.

Too much hair oil

While using hair oil is great for keeping your strands glossy, too much of it can make the hair look flat. Try using a deep conditioning treatment instead to moisturize your hair.

Heat styling

High-temperature hair styling can make your hair cuticles dry and brittle, leading to breakage, split ends, and hair fall. Make it a point to use heat protectant hair products and set your hair styling tools temperature low and keep it six inches away from your hair.

Chemical treatment

Hair color, hair relaxing, perming, and other chemical treatments for the hair exposes your roots to harsh chemicals. Be sure to keep your chemical treatments to a minimum, give your hair and scalp some time to breathe before going through another chemical treatment and don't skip hair nourishing treatments to maintain your hair's moisture.

Not using styling products

Some hair styling products are perfect for thinning hair. Try using volumizing or thickening sprays before styling your hair to create volume.

Overwashing your hair

Washing your hair every day when your hair is already thinning or fragile can only make it worse. Using a dry shampoo can be a better option because the powder form can add more volume to thin hair.

Avoiding a hair conditioner

If you're avoiding using conditioner at all cost for fear that it will make your hair flat, think again. Some conditioners are formulated to work with limp and thin hair to get thick and healthy hair.

So there you have it! Next time you do your hair care routine, keep these in mind for healthier hair!
