In order to protect your hair from the heat and to make your hand strong enough to withstand the process of styling, you should coat your hair with heat protectant products.

Styling the iron on your hair should not be done by using the entire hair at once. But, first divide your hair into small sections and then start section by section. You can repeat the process with every section by gliding the flat iron slowly from root to end. Never touch the device on your scalp. You can style your hair differently to get super-straight hair or bouncy curls as per your wish.

Can my hairstyle cause my hair to fall out?

Certain hairstyles can contribute to hair loss, most notably styles involving tight braids or pull-backs.

This form of hair loss is called traction alopecia. This occurs when the hair is pulled tightly back and fastened at the base of the skull, or braided into tight braids or rows. Exposure to this type of hairstyle over long periods can result in a scarring alopecia,

with no potential for regrowth.

any advise on what would suit me would be appreciated and i know im not the greatest looking guy in the world so no dumb comments plz.

If we are looking at the environmental factors, there are many things that could predispose one to the effect of hair thinning. For instance pollutants and dirt can make it happen. However, there are now many hair products that can be used on the hair to ensure that it does not take such effect, abut instead will help you strengthen your hair, and make it easier to style it. If you have an really good and honest stylist, then the stylist will tell you that the best thing you can ever do to your hairs is to apply the less is more rule. They will tell you that the less chemicals you apply to your hair to get the desired result, the better for you. If you doubt it, ask those who are now having quaint hair colors on their heads to show for it.

Most people actually got their thin hair from the over use of chemicals in coloring and styling their hairs. Therefore, if you are going to have your hair styled with perms or conditioners make sure you do it properly. Some people actually navigate through their conditioning of hair blindly, employing the method of trial and error to guide them in getting the right conditioning. In the end they might just use the wrong chemical, and they will end up with weak and lifeless hair to show for it. In the end, they suffer from hair thinning.

Layering is one way to cover up for thinning hair. There are now many salons that will give you a good layering job if you request for it. Of course there is also the choice of going with a shorter hair style, as this has the effect of making your hair appear actually fuller than it is. Make sure that you have a good discussion with your stylist so you can have an idea of your options before you begin to consider and make your final decision.
