 Facts About Hair-Loss

Many Muslim women and many converts to Islam in particular claim to experience hair loss after adopting hijab (Islamic dress). Their normal reaction is to assume that hijab is the reason for this difficult condition and wonder how they may avoid losing their hair and still wear hijab
Fortunately, it is unlikely that hijab is the cause for any woman to lose her hair. In fact, hijab is a great protection for your hair as it never gets exposed to outside elements such as the sun, wind, air, rain, smog and other forms of pollution. In addition, women who wear hijab are much less likely to use excessive amounts of hairspray or to curl their hair regularly, both of which damage the hair and may cause it to break and fall out.
If you began losing your hair after you adopted hijab, it is most likely a coincidence since there are many health conditions which can contribute to hair-loss in women. For example, it is common to lose large amounts of hair after giving birth, especially if you are breastfeeding. This usually begins 4-6 months after the birth of a baby and grows back soon after that. Illnesses such as thyroid diorders and iron-deficiency anemia may also cause hair to thin and fall out while certain types of medications and even stress can do the same. Whether the hair loss is permanant or temporary depends on many factors, and these are best discussed with a qualified physician.
Older women in particular should realize that hair thinning is a natural part of the aging process although the process is gradual and should not result in large clumps of hair falling out all at once.
To reduce stress on the hair and scalp, do not style your hair in tight braids. Allow your hair to air dry after shampooing and do not brush it while it is wet. Avoid hot curlers and harsh chemicals such as dyes, perms and styling products. In addition, do not make it a habit to leave your hair wet under the hijab.

by Anonymous on Wednesday, April 09 @ 08:05:10 AST | It is an interesting topic.
I'm glad it has been discussed here.
but what about the low self esteem that some Muhajjabat girls feel because of not having a chance to enjoy the beauty of thir hairs? Because where ever you go, I mean in a non-muslims country, you have to wear your hijab! so when will girls show their hair and enjoy taking care of it and styling it? |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Assalamou aleikoum, dear Sisters in Islam and would be Sisters, just a little personnal note to tell you not to worry about having a scarf on your head and losing hair. By my experience, the two are not related.
When I reverted to Islam, hijab (or khaymar for some) was a big issue for me. My hair was my pride and joy in my days of ignorance. I would change colour more often than a chameleon and use many styling mousse, gel, you name it, I must have tried them all. Now, I think that would be the reason why many women would lose hair.
As a matter of fact, now AlHamdullilah, my hair is thicker, softer and more manageable. In the house I do not wear the scarf , so the amount of ti

(User Info | Send a Message) | as-salam alaikum,
jazakum allah khayr for the information. however, i disagree with the article to a point. while i don't believe that hijab causes hair loss, i do believe there are certain types of material/fabric which may contribute to it. i personally had it happen with 1 particular hijab made of a particular fabric. when i finally got a clue, i stopped wearing that particular hijab. alhamdulillah i no longer have the problem. i do also agree that sometimes we aren't taking good care of ourselves and this may be the underlying cause of hair loss amongst other things. |
