Hair is the beauty of your personality. Shining lively hair gives a boost to your look. So, it is always very traumatic and unpleasant to see your hair getting ruined. There are many factors responsible for the damaging hair. Stress and heat damage are the most common factors that, by one way or the other, damage the sparkling and healthy look of your hair.

Damaged hair makes you look unhealthy, unpleasant and old. Therefore, you should try to protect your hair from environmental pollution and heat. Most of us go out, after taking a shower, with wet hair; this makes it easier for dust particles to stick to the hair. Make sure that whenever you take a shower, you dry your hair completely at your home and then go out.

In young age, usually the condition lasts with stress. So, the best way to protect you is to remove the reason of stress. The health of hair would automatically get better. Moreover, you can adopt certain healthy activities to reduce the intensity of stress. Relaxation and exercise can be very beneficial to reduce the effects of the emotional instability. If the reason is long lasting, you can nullify its effects by taking healthy diet. It should be rich in vitamins, protein, carbohydrates and other essential nutrients.

Preventing hair loss from stress is the second domain of this article. Stress causes retardation in the growth of hair follicles. Imperfectly matured hair, after a few months, starts to fall, a condition called "Telogen Effluvium".

Heat also affects the porosity of the cuticle layer. Frequent heat exposure opens the pores in the cuticle layer. Much moisture is lost through the open pores, and the hair become dry and split ended.

On the other hand, processed foods should be avoided. You should try to limit the intake of spicy, hot foods and cold drinks. Pro-stress addictions such as cigarette smoking and alcohol are some of the leading threats to hair. They should be highlighted and side-stepped as soon as possible.

An advice from Dermatologists must be taken, who can help in treating and counselling the patient as well as finding the underlying dietary, hormonal, social, psychological, genetic, systemic, and other associated abnormalities, leading to hair fall.

It is also a good idea to go on luxury holidays and vacations that will ease you from the tensions and stresses of life around you. This relaxes your mind and body, eventually resulting in refreshing skin and hair. You can use many kinds of hair oils and hair care products to avoid hair damage, caused by heat and stress.
