So if you’re experiencing hair loss, you need to focus on eating a healthy diet that includes enough protein and iron, as well as exercising. Find ways to reduce your stress level. Make sure to protect your hair when you’re outside. Also be careful when you dry your hair to keep the blow dryer far enough from your head so it doesn’t burn the scalp.  If those steps don’t work, make an appointment with your doctor to see if there are any underlying causes of hair loss, such as a disease, disorder or a medication.
