Jojoba Oil: A scalp that’s dry with hair that lacks lustre is more prone to hair fall,
it starts with the health of your scalp. If your scalp is dry,
flaky or you have dandruff, first address and fix that problem.
You can do this by regularly massaging it with warm oil. Applying jojoba oil to the roots of
your hair promotes blood circulation, encourages healthy hair growth and does
not leave behind a greasy residue as your scalp is able to absorb the oil with ease.

Eat More Of Vitamin A: Vitamin A is very important in controlling hair fall.
Studies have found that retinoids, which are derived from vitamin A,
can increase hair growth and prolong its active growth phase.
There are plenty of foods that are good sources of this Vitamin, like leafy greens,
carrots, and sweet potatoes. You can also get it in the form of supplements. A collagen supplement
can also support hair health and growth as a source of amino acids and antioxidant protection.
Fenugreek Seeds: Fenugreek seeds have hormones that help promote hair regrowth. They are a
good source of protein and nicotinic acid that strengthen the hair shaft and prevent breakage.
The seeds contain hormones that propel the growth of hair and rebuild damaged follicles.
One of the easiest remedies is to soak the fenugreek seeds in water overnight and grind
them to make a paste. Apply the paste on the hair and cover it with a shower cap for half an hour.
Wash it off. This needs to be repeated every morning for a month for the results to appear.
Avoid Chemical Hair Treatments: To keep your hair as healthy as possible,
avoid any type of chemical treatments that damage the hair or scalp in form.
Avoid coloring it with chemicals and only use natural dyes. For dying your hair chemically,
bleaching is usually required, which is terrible for the health of your hair.
You should also avoid straightening, curling or perming your hair and avoid blow-drying it with
the ‘Heat - on’ setting. Applying heat to the hair, especially when it is wet can cause the
hair to essentially boil up - leaving it brittle and extremely prone to breakage.
Onion juice: Onion has a high concentration of sulfur that helps with numerous hair
conditions which cause hair to fall out. It improves blood circulation to hair follicles,
regenerates them and minimizes inflammation. Several researches
conducted on hair fall have established that onions contain great healing properties.
These are effective in treating conditions like female pattern baldness.
Blend half an onion and strain the mixture to obtain the juice.
Apply the juice to your scalp and leave it on for 30-60 minutes.
Rinse it off with water. You may do this 1-2 times a week for best results.
Eggs: We know how tough bearing that odour can be but once your nostrils get used to it,
the rest of your path to thicker locks is pretty smooth.
Rich in sulphur, phosphorous, and protein, eggs make for an excellent hair fall treatment at home.
Mix one egg white with a teaspoon of Olive Oil and Honey and apply the paste from root to tips.
Rinse after 20 minutes with a mild shampoo. An easier way to provide
egg essential nutrients to your mane is buying oil with egg in it.
Cleanse And Condition: Use a mild shampoo for your hair, one which will not strip the scalp
of its natural oils entirely. As for conditioning, simply washing the hair with shampoo will not do.
A good conditioner should be applied on 3/4th of the hair,
avoiding the scalp. Most conditioners contain Amino acids, which help to nourish and repair
the hair and reduce frizz and breakage of hair. There is no set frequency of hair washing, since
it really depends on the individual’s hair type and how fast the scalp becomes oily after washing.
However, do not wash it so frequently that it becomes dry to the point of breakage and frizz.
Avoid Smoking, Alcohol, And Caffeine: Certain habits, like smoking and drinking alcoholic or
caffeinated drinks, can worsen hair loss. Smoking reduces blood circulation throughout the body,
and blood circulation to your scalp is an important factor in hair growth and retention.
Drinking alcohol and caffeine can contribute to hair fall in a couple of different ways.
Too much of either can suppress your immune system, which plays an influential role in
the hair growth cycle. They can also lead to sleep problems,
and we all know how important sleep is to our overall health and wellness!
Coconut Oil: Coconut Oil is one of the most popular hair oils for growth.
Rich in fatty acids, it deeply penetrates the hair follicles without evaporating.
The carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals present in it are also essential for hair health.
It also protects the hair against heat damage, and repairs the weak and brittle hair strands. Rich in
vitamin E and antioxidants, you can also use this oil as a conditioner. Coconut oil is suitable for
all hair types and best suited to the ones with dull, damaged and dry hair and the ones with slow
hair growth. If you are aiming for soft hair, it is best to use it regularly over some time.
Reduce Stress: Stress and tension are one of the most common causes of hair fall.
If you’re experiencing hair loss and you’re also under a lot of stress,
you should make it a priority to find effective ways to calm your mind and relax.
Some of the most effective practices for reducing stress include meditation,
yoga, spending time outdoors, and making time for hobbies. Find one or two stress reducers
that work for you and incorporate them into your schedule regularly to help prevent hair loss.
Avoid Brushing Wet Hair: Did you know, hair is in its weakest state when it is wet?
So, always avoid brushing your hair when it is wet to decrease the chances of hair loss.
If you have to, then make sure you are using a wide-toothed comb.
Also, avoid combing your hair too frequently as it can injure your hair and break it.
Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is known for its power-packed property to treat
dandruff and hair loss. This cooling plant stops hair fall,
soothes the scalp, and frees the hair follicles blocked by excessive oil secretion.
Squeeze some aloe vera gel on your fingers and massage it on the scalp directly
Rinse off the mask after an hour. Do this 2-3 times every week for best results.
Apart from being good for your hair, Aloe vera also has a wide range of benefits for you.Learn

Now back to Ways to control hair fall.
Licorice Root: This herb prevents hair loss and further damage to the hair. It soothes the scalp
and gets rid of any dry flakes and dandruff. Make a paste by adding a tablespoon of ground
liquorice root and a quarter teaspoon saffron to one cup of milk. Apply this to your scalp and
hair length and leave it on overnight. The next morning, wash your hair. Repeat this twice a week.
Eat The Right Foods: A healthy, balanced diet is the key to everything,
including healthy hair. A diet that is not high enough in iron or protein can lead to hair loss.
Those with eating disorders and those who crash diet, often experience hair loss. If poor diet
is your issue, you can usually reverse hair loss by balancing your food intake. Good sources of
protein include meat, eggs, fish, nuts, beans, and seeds. Add iron rich foods like lentils,
green foods like spinach and other veggies, and cereals fortified with iron, clams, and oysters.
Green Tea: Green tea contains a compound called EGCG which stimulates the growth of hair. It also
helps in the prevention as well as treatment of pattern baldness in both men and women.
Put a green tea bag in a cup of hot water. Steep for 5-10 minutes and strain. Allow
the solution to cool a bit. Drink the tea. You may do this 1-2 times daily.
Chinese Hibiscus: The leaves and flowers of Chinese hibiscus have been shown to promote hair
growth and reduce hair loss. Take 1-2 hibiscus flowers, 5-6 leaves and blend them together.
Add a little coconut oil to this mixture. Apply it to your scalp and spread some to your hair.
Leave it on for 30-60 minutes. Rinse it off with a mild shampoo and condition your hair.
