Hair Care to Prevent Hair Loss

Oct 30th, 2009 by Vij Bhat

Hair loss is caused due to many reasons such as lack of vitamins, minerals or iron in the body, age, pollution, heredity, stress, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalance and illness. It is said that that losing almost100 hair in a day is normal.

 

The natural remedies to prevent hair loss are fairly easy, but then again, many fail to maintain the routine.

Studies show that one of the major reasons of hair loss is stress. If you have a stressful schedule and you tend to undergo too much of both physical and mental stress, then you will lose your hair terribly. My advice is, try not to be too stressed out. I know it is not easy, but you have to try.

The second tip is to go herbal. There are a lot of products out there in the market and they are helpful indeed. But the natural ones are the best when it comes to hair care.

The best thing about herbal hair loss remedy is that Mother Nature has abundance and you can choose from verities of essential oil and other herbs. In terms of oils, you have coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, and what not.

And in case of oil, the best thing is henna. You can apply any of the oils individually or make a mixture of two oils and apply it to the scalp.

There is no way you can have healthy hair without a healthy diet. A healthy diet consists of good amounts of vitamins, mineral, proteins, and other important food ingredients. Increase the amount of green vegetables, beans, fish, and nuts to your daily meals and see the difference. And do not forget milk.

The fourth tip is to increase the intake of biotin, a very important vitamin. This vitamin stimulates the growth of hair. You will get biotins from eggs, food that is made of malt and cereals.

Last but not the least, the easiest way to promote the growth of hair is to massage the scalp regularly. Make a habit of that. This will increase the circulation of the blood to the scalp.

Now that you have all the tips you need, there is no stopping you from having lovely locks.

Hair loss is caused due to many reasons such as lack of vitamins, minerals or iron in the body, age, pollution, heredity, stress, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalance and illness. It is said that that losing almost100 hair in a day is normal. If you lose hair more than that then it's an alarming sign. Usually hair fall in normal quantity is normal as even they have a life and grow back again.

 But if they are going through the roots and you can see bald patches on your head then its high time to go to a doctor to find out the reason and get the perfect cure for it. Its only when the situation is rally bad, you need to go to a doctor otherwise its very much in hand to tackle the problem of hair fall. Some other hair problems as dandruff, uncleanness or split ends too tend to break the hair. It's very important to look after the hair well. One needs to eat healthy food, regular cleaning of the hair, drinking plenty of water, sleeping properly to keep the hair healthy and shining.

You can follow some routine care at home to prevent the hair from damage.

  1. Always keep your hair clean. It will protect them from dandruff, itching and hair lice, which ultimately results in hair fall.
  2. Always use the shampoo and conditioner depending on your hair type. As for oily hair, you should use a shampoo, which is meant for specifically for oily hair.
  3. Give regular massages to your scalp and hair with lukewarm oil at least twice a month. You can choose coconut oil, olive oil or almond oil for your hair. You can even mix these oil and apply the solution on your hair.
  4. If there is dandruff in your hair you can mix camphor cubes in coconut oil to massage on your hair and scalp. It helps in reducing the dandruff.
  5. Rub a lime on your scalp if there is dandruff on your scalp, leave it for 10 minutes and shampoo the hair. You should use medicated dandruff shampoo and oil to apply on your hair when they are suffering from dandruff.
  6. Never comb your hair when they are wet. The roots of the hairs are the weakest when they are wet.
  7. Keep the hair wrapped in a towel for a while then let them dry in natural air as excess usage of hair dryer too damages the hair texture and makes them weak and then ultimately they fall.
  8. When your hair is falling, make a mixture at home containing Amla, Shikakai and dry neem leaves. Grind them together and apply this paste on the hair before washing them off for a while.

  14. Get your hair trim every month so that there are no split ends left.
  15. Include at least 2 nuts in your daily diet. They help a lot in strengthen the hair.
