How to Control Hair Fall - Best Tips & Top Solutions to Reduce Hair Fair Fall | Daniel Alain

How to Control & Reduce Hair Fall

Oh, the dreaded trials of hair loss; whether you notice hair clumps clinging to your brush or your ponytail has gotten too thin for comfort as of late — hair fall is a nuisance. We frown at the elusive hairline or sparse volume, and worse, feel timid about leaving the house. 

Hair loss is a tremendous experience that affects women of all ages — and it’s fraught with fear, anxiety, and shame. After all, losing hair can feel like losing an integral part of yourself. 

But how can you tell if your hair loss is normal or getting into worrisome territory?

It’s natural to lose hair every day (around 100 strands), but excessive hair fall can create turbulent waves in your life. What’s really going on here, and what can you do about it? The first step to reclaiming your hair health is equipping yourself with an understanding of the most common causes of hair loss.

From there, you’ll be on the path to better solutions.

Keep reading as we explore the causes of hair loss, how to reduce hair fall, reclaim your confidence, and keep your hairs on your fabulous head, where they belong.  


 

Why Does Hair Fall Out?

If your hair is falling excessively, it could be hinting at an underlying cause. The important thing is that you’re here, which means you know something isn’t quite right, and you’re proactively seeking answers. In this section, we’ll look at common causes of hair fall.

Genetics

Hair shedding and loss can happen for several reasons. A prevalent biological cause is female pattern hair loss. FPHL looks like thinning in patches at the crown of your head and overall reduced hair mass. 

Unfortunately, the issue exacerbates with age, as it’s progressive. But there’s redemption in this because genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is treatable for many people with FDA-approved treatments like Minoxidil and Rogaine®.

“Losing your hair means loss of identity, it means loss of femininity, it means loss of normalcy, and it means loss of familiarity... But here I am, coming out on top. Alopecia doesn’t own me, but dang, I’m proud to be an Alopecian.”

—@Melissaaakunst

Postpartum & Major Life Events

Fluctuating postpartum hormone levels can trigger excessive hair shedding, which usually occurs 3-6 months after childbirth. When hair stops growing during the telogen phase, plummeting hormones can lead to excessive hair loss. 

Taking care of your infant and losing hair is not a combo you signed up for, but we’re going to walk you through it every step of the way.

And it’s not just childbirth; any major life event — menopause, chemotherapy, medical illness, puberty — can biologically alter your body and disrupt the hair growth cycle. 

While these kinds of biological factors feel outside of your control, others, like poor hair routine habits, can be altered.

Over or Under-Washing

Not shampooing frequently enough causes inflammation from a buildup of dead skin cells, which leads to itching, scratching, soreness, and ultimately, hair breakage. 

Conversely, over-shampooing strips your hair of nourishing oils required to keep your scalp’s cellular activity healthy, leading to a dry scalp.

When did washing your hair become an unsolvable word problem? There is a method here, and it mostly requires you to build a washing routine around your hair type and scalp health. Generally, it’s safe to wash your hair every 2-3 days. Take notice of how your scalp reacts. If you’re itching and scratching — or even bleeding — increase the frequency.

If dandruff comes pouring down, restrict washing to every three days. Your scalp will tell you what’s right, so tune in to its response.

Styling Routines

Yes, beachy waves are all the rage right now, but overusing heat styling tools like blow dryers and curling can make or break your hairliterally. 

Are you coloring your hair?

Unfortunately, bleaching and dyeing your locks is a hair-cell killer. The harsh chemicals in hair dyes diminish the hair to a brittle, straw-like state that eventually snaps off. 

We know how valuable your color and styling routines are to your self-image; you’ll just need to mitigate the damage with some restorative, hydrating hair fall solutions.

“Hating my hair held a heavy weight within me. It stayed with me 24/7. Day to day, it was hard to shake off. Until one day, I woke up & was just done! I realized I could take back control & love that part of myself again.”

Tips to Reduce Hair Fall

We’ve outlined ways to reduce hair fall, as well as some patterns to lay to rest for good.

Hair Fall Control Tips — Dos:

  • Use INTACT 5 Anti Hair Shedding Treatment: Imagine having an entire professional hair salon neatly tucked into a sleek and portable bottle. Well, our dermatologist-developed hair fall treatment combats hair shedding and loss while restoring the natural shine, body, and volume of your locks. 
  • Cut down on heat styling tools: It’s important to let your hair breathe from the heat every once in a while. If you must pull out a blow dryer or curling wand, be sure to set the temperature to the lowest setting. Don’t forget to add heat protectant spray before styling! 
  • Find shampoos with low pH levels: When there’s a disruption to your hair’s natural pH moisture balance, you’ll notice it — hair breaks, sticks to your sweater, falls into your morning coffee. It seems counterintuitive, but research shows that hair-loss prescription shampoos with high pH levels cause more breakage. Instead, try a shampoo with low pH levels to keep your strands happy and healthy — and your cuppa jo hair-free. 

There are many natural and at-home remedies for hair fall, and you can find all of our best tips for hair care protection in this complete guide.

Hair Fall Control Tips — Don'ts:

  • Take hot showers: But who can resist a steamy hot shower? We know it’s divine, but avoiding hot showers reduces hair fall. When you expose your hair to hot water, the heat penetrates your hair follicles, inevitably leading to dryness and shedding. Stick with cooler showers, and your hair will thank you. Or, keep your hair out of the way as you wash everything else — then when you’re ready to clean your hair, turn down the temp.
  • Roughly brush your hair: Have you ever painfully snagged your hair while brushing? By doing that, your scalp is sending a signal that you’re applying too much pressure. As a result, the cuticles react, and hair breaks off. Instead, gently comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb from the tips of your hair first, gently working up to the roots. 
  • Wear tight hairstyles: While we can all appreciate a tidy bun or ponytail, tight hairdos tug at the follicles, and over time, they’ll shrink so much that they’re unable to produce new hairs. A common consequence of this is traction alopecia, a hair loss condition induced by taut buns, ponytails, hair extensions, and braids. The solution? Switch up your styling choices; let your hair flow freely or wear soft scrunchies.



 

What’s the Best Hair Fall Solution?

Finding a reliable hair fall solution can feel a bit like applying eyeliner in the dark: blind and messy. But there is a better way.

It’s completely natural to feel stressed right now, and the vicious cycle of stress perpetuating hair loss is enough to rattle anyone. Fortunately, you have the power to redirect this course toward positive change.

While the hair control tips mentioned above can help reduce hair shedding, you’ll want to grab a stable, proven-effective hair fall solution like Intact 5.

 


 

INTACT 5 Anti Hair Shedding Treatment

Gaining a full head of thick, luxurious locks starts with making smart and healthy decisions. Intact Root Securing Treatment is a clinically proven hair fall control solution. For years, a team of medical professionals specializing in women’s hair loss worked unwaveringly to develop a substantial hair fall treatment.  

The result of their labor of love is an all-in-one treatment for hair shedding, scalp moisturization and restoration, and shiny, silky hair you can’t help but flaunt. Most of all, it protects hair during vulnerable moments like daily washing, brushing, and styling.

How?

  • The serum’s healing technology activates in just 5 minutes after application.
  • The product is vegan-friendly and free of harsh chemicals like sulfates, silicones, and artificial dyes — it’s only made with the good stuff (like hydrating coconut fatty acids and vitamins).
  • Intact 5 boasts a stellar 91% success rate!

 

How Does INTACT 5 Work?

The beauty of INTACT 5 Anti Hair Shedding Treatment is that you can easily squeeze it into your daily routine without thinking twice. Simply apply and evenly massage the treatment into your dry scalp, wait 5 minutes, and hop in the shower. By the time you’re done showering, your hair will have happily soaked up Intact’s nourishing balm. 

The beauty of INTACT 5 is its capability to strengthen and secure hair at the roots. Where most hair products target the actual hair, Intact goes deeper, stimulating the follicles to open and receive more nutrients required for healthy growth. 

Whether you’re washing, brushing, blow-drying, or styling your hair, your tresses will stay full, shiny, and healthy — and your scalp will thrive.

Unbelievable Experience

I was new to alternative hair and hit my rock bottom and realized I couldn’t put off a wig any longer. Ashley is absolutely incredible. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and so accommodating. She knew how vulnerable I felt and allowed me to take my time and get a piece I would be happiest with.

I am so grateful for this experience and I’m glad I found follea before being too traumatized elsewhere!

Truly, stop looking and buy the wig.

Dear Jenna,
Thank you so much for sharing your consultation experience with Ashley. It brings us so much joy to know she was able to help you find a piece that is best for you. We strive to help women feel comfortable and confident during there hair journey.

Fear to FABULOUS!!

Ladies, if you’re asking yourself…”why is this so expensive in comparison to other options?”…don’t and take the plunge. You will know why INSTANTLY when you open it up! This purchase is for YOU to gain your confidence back, to feel pretty and to walk with pride so it’s worth it! We all spend so much on nothing, our kids, stupid things…We are worth investing in ourselves! I’m a first time buyer of a wig and I’m 51 yo. No current cancer or no chemo, just ruined my hair with extensions for many years. I experienced so much denial, fear, and much sadness but…Janet, what an angel…walked me through it, didn’t pressure me and was so incredibly patient with answering all my questions…she made me come to the realization how bad extensions are on your hair and if I’m going to try and see if I can regrow my hair, I need to take the extensions out, allow my head and follicles to breath naturally….all sounds like a good idea right? It was hard for me to realize this and knowing that I’d have to rely solely on a wig now at 51yo! But! As I mentioned above, it is worth it and I feel fabulous! It is so natural looking, it moves with you, it’s comfortable, and not crazy hot! You can style it however you want! I never write reviews but felt this was probably the most important one I could ever write in an effort to help someone else either like me who was afraid of needing a wig, or someone who is simply considering a new one from this company. And most of all, you are never alone through this journey. Janet is reachable and so helpful even after you receive it! I’m on the other side of the country from California and we went on this journey all via zoom and FaceTime! I’d you’re considering this, do it! They also graciously give you 7 days to decide, just keep it intact and no modifications and send it back for your money back or exchange! I didn’t mention that I purchased the “style” model and am extremely happy with it. I’ve only had it a week but wow, I’m me again and in minutes flat, I’m ready to go and look like I stepped out of the salon! If you’ve read this all, I wish you luck and congratulations on getting a new you…a gorgeous you, full of confidence!🤗

Dear Tara,

I cant say enough good things about the customer service I received from Janet. I was nervous cause it was my first time ordering from you on top of that I was getting a custom color, not only was the color spot on, but Janet was sooo patient walking me thru the process
I never felt rushed or hurried to make a decision, honestly she was a dream to work with. Now I'm thinking about the next one I'm going to get;)

This is a great wig!

I absolutely love this wig and I wear it with tons of confidence! I purchased my Daniel Alain Follea Style wig on 12/24/20 and it still looks great! I wear wigs regularly due to hair loss and own other good quality wigs but once purchasing this one it has become my favorite wig and I have been wearing it about 5 days a week for over a year and a half. I wash and style it about once a week, use the best hair products available, style it with a T3 curling iron and even had it colored. I admit it is easier to style when on a stand but I have become pretty good at it and have not damaged it one bit, it still looks heathy and so soft. I wear it up, down, braided and even a pony tail, I do have to be a little creative when wearing it up but basically you can do with it whatever you would if it were your own natural hair.
I still love it so much and there is plenty of wear left but I thought it was time for a change and get a new one. When I went on line to look at styles again I realized I never reviewed it and that is why I am reviewing it now. Oh I almost forgot to mention how light and comfortable it is. I have worn it up to 18 hours, slept in it and even wear it on the beach without it feeling hot and sweaty, it really does not feel like you are wearing a wig. If you are on the fence about purchasing a Daniel Alain wig I can tell you it is a very good quality wig and you won't be sorry. Here are a few pics of me styling it and wearing it in different styles, the one of me in blue was last week and about 2 months after coloring it.

Easy Beauty!

My Follea Style (6-11) is in all honesty the most comfortable wig I've ever worn - and I hate anything on my head! This wig just... goes where it's supposed to, no pulling it this way or that, no realizing your doggone wig is crooked.. AFTER you walk in to work. This success is in no small part to the Fit Kit I was sent to make sure of my size. 😊

Also, to say the hair is beautiful gives beauty a bad name. The hair is stunning. (I wear color Latte.) My consultant, Ashley, virtually took my hand to guide me through the process of buying my wig. Her help was and still is invaluable.

My hairdresser is very comfortable styling wigs. She created just the right "style" for my Style. That said, even straight from the box, Follea rocks!

Reading your Follea experience warms our hearts, our goal and mission is to help women all over the world feel beautiful, confident and like their best self. Ashley is an amazing and knowlegable guide, that will continue to be with you on your hair journey!

We invite you to join our @Follea community on Instagram, to learn best practices for your new Follea.

Thank you very much!

Love,

Wig #6

The ready to wear wig I received from Daniel Alain is beautiful. The packaging was so respectful of the wig. So impressed. I called with questions before purchasing and the staff was very kind and respectful as Loosing my hair was so unexpected and stressful. Thank you for wonderful customer service and a beautiful wig. So many compliments on how it makes me look. Thank you.

We are honored and so glad to hear you had a pleasant experience! Thank you or trusting us to help you during your hair-loss journey.

Follea René

Ive had my follea Rene, 12 inch in the color Vienna, for almost a week and I love it more every day. I feel like a new woman, so confident and beautiful again. This wig has given me a bounce in my step again. It’s so soft, silky, doesn’t matte like my other wigs and feels like it is coming right out of my own head. Cynthia at follea did a virtual visit explaining everything, answering all my questions and sent me samples of wig caps and color swatches to try on. The process was stress free and exciting. Will definitely purchase another follea for sure.

Hi Nikki,

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to write this review for us. We are so glad to know that you are loving our René wig and more importantly, feeling like confident and beautiful again! Please tag us #danielalain in any photos we'd love to share your amazing look on our website and/or social media platforms.

Style 10 Inch Color 5005 Macchiato (comes with a soft rooting)

This is my first wig but not my first attempt with alternative hair. Its been a journey and one I knew I wanted to take with Follea. I was not wrong. The hair is silky soft and beautifully shiny. The staff is great and wonderful to work with. Their online consultation process is just what I needed. I received sample caps to try on to determine which size is the right size for me. I received color swatches as well to make the color selection process was a breeze. It does make a difference to see to the colors in person, dont be afraid to ask for color swatches. To see them against the light or while your home is worth it. All this happened after the online consultation, which was simple and fun. The rep provided samples of everything, explained the differences with each one. This helped me make a decision on what was right for me. Getting the samples of the wig caps and color swatches was a fun part of the experience but it also made me feel good about my decisions. I often worry about getting the wrong size and color. Once I was set ( and yes I changed my mind a bit) we went forward with the order. After I received my wig and cut the lace, the team was still there to help me with any questions I had.

Overall a great online purchasing experience. Once I received my Follea, I instantly knew this was it for me. I loved it and I was confident to wear it out.

Feeling Myself and Happy with a beautiful Follea Style, 10", Irish Cream

There are no words to fully express how grateful I am for finding Follea and meeting Janet. Her kindness combined with a professional, yet so gentle, advice helped me to find my beautiful natural looking European hair. Janet patiently showed me different styles and sizes (my head is so small!). She has never pushed me to anything. Only offered support and help on the way to my decision, and eventually ordered (incredibly urgently) the right size. I wish all patients to meet someone like Janet on their way! Before I found Follea, I faced a few horrible pushy people who wanted to make money of my sensitive, fragile situation of suddenly losing hair.
Today, I can face the Universe with a smile, again. I am back to work and normal life, interacting with people, attending important business meetings. Letting my health recover in calm confident state.
Thank You to Follea and Janet. May the Blessing and Kindness come back to You Multiplied Million Times.
I am already thinking of ordering a second Follea Style (bit longer this time). Every girl needs a special occasion HAIR! I have found mine.

Follea's Petite

Recently, I bought the Petite in Chai Latte blonde with a natural-looking darker root and customized my piece by adding a few wispy bangs. If you are like me and try to stretch the length of time between washes to prevent an itchy scalp and breakage, this little priceless gem is a quick four clips away from a good hair day.
