Can anyone let me know how does Excessive Hair washing and Styling cause Hair Loss?

[Dr Guncel Ozturk]

Excessive hair washing and styling can contribute to hair loss in several ways:

Over-shampooing: Over-shampooing could strip the scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation, eventually leading to hair to fall out.

Harsh chemicals: Hair products containing harsh chemicals could damage hair and scalp, leading to hair loss. For example, hair dyes and relaxers can weaken the hair shaft and cause breakage.

Heat styling: Regular use of hot styling tools such as flat irons, curling irons, blow dryers can cause heat damage to the hair, leading to hair loss. The heat can weaken the hair shaft, making it more prone to breakage and split ends.

Tight hairstyles: Tight hairstyles, such as braids and cornrows, can put excessive tension on the hair, causing hair loss or traction alopecia.

Mechanical damage: Brushing and combing the hair excessively can cause mechanical damage to the hair, leading to hair breakage and hair loss.

Be gentle when washing and styling your hair. Use products that are safe for your hair type. If you are experiencing hair loss, it is best to speak with a hair loss specialist to determine the underlying cause and to get proper treatment.
Good luck on your journey!
