I stopped using heat tools save for the occasional blowout and expected that all my problems would be solved. What I realized, though, is that taking care of your hair is far more involved than putting down the curling iron.
I came to this realization one morning when I opened up Facebook's "On This Day" app and was startled at the picture it presented. There, a year-old picture illustrated just how much my hair had broken off even after I started wearing my natural texture.

Stress is very often one reason—among age, diet, and lifestyle—that your hair begins to thin. Trying to keep your stress levels down will lower Cortisol release in the body and help with mental health and hair growth.
