I guess it’s silly for me to tell you that smoking is bad for your health. Who doesn’t know that?

So how are smoking and hair loss related to each another? The simple answer is, the more you smoke, the more hair you are going to lose.

Obvious health risks aside, our curls lose strength under the chokehold of tobacco; nicotine and carbon monoxide – substances found in cigarettes – restrict the flow of blood and oxygen and nutrients to the body’s extremities, including the hair follicles, which go into their telegone (dormant) phase. Because your hair does not get the right amount of the vital nutrients, your hair becomes unhealthy and may also break off.

Not only your smoking habit affects the look and smell of your hair, it can also make your hair break off.

Did I add that smoking ages you, hair loss and wrinkles?!?  You decide.
