Hair loss devices and tools

One of the keys to reducing hair loss is scalp stimulation:

• increases blood flow
• reduced oils with androgens on scalp
• exfoliates

Recommended devices

Another important option is minimizing the amount of styling that involves pulling on the hair. Among hair loss recommendations are the following items.

Hair-washing devices

• scalp massager / shampoo brush

Hair brushes

• boar bristle hair brush (or vegan equivalent)

Picks or wide-toothed combs

• Narrow-toothed combs should be avoided
• Detangling combs that reduce pulling

Hair dryers

Whenever possible, let your hair air-dry. Too much heat on your scalp while drying your hair can help cause hair loss, so consider hair dryers with these options:

• no-heat setting
• diffuser attachment

Pillowcases

• Some fabrics may help reduce friction on your hair while you sleep. Popular options include:
  • Silk
  • Satin
  • Polyester
