Good day beautiful women in this great community. Happy new month, May we be blessed this month and beyond in Jesus mighty name. It's a pleasure to join this contest about the hair care tips and I will love to write what I know about it.

Hair loss can be refer to a loss of hair from part of the head. The severity of hair loss can vary from a small area to the entire body.

Causes of Hair loss
Hair loss can be caused by so many thing, which includes;

• Dandruff.
• Hereditary hair loss.
• Cancer treatment (chemotherapy).
• Malnutrition.

DANDRUFF
Dandruff is a mild Inflammation of the scalp, resulting in scaly skin that may be itchy and flake off. Irregular washing of hair and scalp can cause a build-up of oils and dead skin cells leading to dandruff.

HEREDITARY HAIR LOSS
Hereditary hair loss means hair loss that runs in families. It is most often found in men but also in women. Hereditary hair loss affects your scalp the most, but it can also occur in other parts of your body.

CANCER TREATMENT (Chemotherapy)
Hair loss is a common side effect of cancer treatment. Hair loss can happen as a side effect of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant. These cancer treatments can harm the cells that help hair grow. Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medications that attack rapidly growing cancer cells. Unfortunately, these drugs also attack other rapidly growing cells in the body — including those in the hair roots.

MALNUTRITION
Malnutrition occurs when the body doesn't get enough nutrients. Causes include a poor diet, digestive conditions or another disease. This can also affect hair loss.

Some hair care tips that can be followed:

• Massaging of the scalp in conjunction with hair loss
• Healthy diet.
• Avoidance of tight hairstyles such as dreadlocks.
• Avoid excessive heat on the hair.
• Brushing and combing of hair properly.
• Use of adequate shampoo and conditioner.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH HAIR LOSS
I experienced hair loss terribly some times ago, though my hair is not that long but the hair loss was so rapid that I want to cut the hair off.

See the front of my hair, it got to the extent that I can't plait it because it was so obvious and people were making jest of me. I did just comb it very well and packed it like that until I was told to use the above treatment and when I used it, I saw changes in my hair.

In conclusion, we all know that hair is part of woman beauty and we should ensure proper and adequate care of our hair. This is all I have about the hair care tips for now. I hope you love it. Thanks for your time.
