Can texture powders cause hair loss?

[CamrynGoyette]

I've been using texture powders for like 3 weeks, and yesterday hair fell off my head when the barber combed my hair. When I got home, I tried washing my hair but as i ran my fingers through my hair it just kept falling. Could it be the reason for this?

Texture powders can sometimes cause buildup or dryness, which might contribute to shedding if the scalp gets irritated. I once noticed more hair in the shower after trying a new styling product, so I stopped using it and switched to a gentler routine. It could also be seasonal shedding or stress.

Texture powders do not cause genetic hair loss, but they can create problems if used heavily.

• Build-up: powders contain silica and other particles that cling to the scalp. Without thorough washing, they can clog pores and irritate the scalp.
• Friction and breakage: rough, gritty hair tangles more and can break when combing.
• Folliculitis: irritated, clogged follicles can become inflamed.

If you use them, apply to hair rather than directly on the scalp, wash out daily, and give the scalp breaks. For thin hair, many people find them useful cosmetically; just keep the scalp clean.
