We all lose some hair strands each day. So, it’s
normal to see some hair coming off your scalp when you brush your hair daily.
Normally we lose about 80-100 strands daily due to the end of life cycle of a
hair strand. If that’s the matter, you don’t have to worry a lot. Just continue
to have a stress-less healthy lifestyle including balanced diet. It’s when you
see an abnormal loss of hair that you should start taking measures to stop
this. There are many causes of hair loss.
You may lose hair due to some hormonal changes, unhealthy lifestyle, junk food devoid of nutritional value, stress, some medication, vitamins deficiency, thyroid problems, menopause etc. Whatever the causes, you should try to eliminate them first and then resort to these home remedies for hair loss.

Remedies to Control Hair Loss/Hair Fall
Hair
Oil Massage
The first step that you can take to reduce hair
loss is to massage your scalp with appropriate hair oil. Proper hair and scalp
massage will increase blood flow to the hair follicles, condition the scalp,
and enhance the strength of your hair’s roots. It will also promote relaxation
and reduce feelings of stress. You can use hair oils like coconut or almond
oil, olive oil, castor oil, amla oil, or others. Add a few drops of rosemary
essential oil to the base oil for better and faster results. Other types of oil
that you can use are emu oil, argon oil, and wheat germ oil. Massage any of the
hair oils mentioned above onto your hair and scalp by applying light pressure
with your fingertips. Do this at least once a week.
Onion
Juice
Onion juice helps treat hair loss due to its
high sulfur content, which helps improve blood circulation to the hair
follicles, regenerate hair follicles and reduce inflammation. The antibacterial
properties in onion juice also help kill germs and parasites, and treat scalp
infections that can cause hair loss. In a 2002 study published in the Journal
of Dermatology, almost 74 percent of the study participants who applied onion
juice on the scalp experienced significant hair regrowth. Extract the juice of
one onion by grating it and then strain it. Apply the juice directly onto the
scalp. Leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off. Finally, shampoo
your hair. Mix together three tablespoons of onion juice and two tablespoons of
aloe vera gel. You can also add one tablespoon of olive oil. Apply this mixture
onto your scalp and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before rinsing it off
and shampooing your hair.
Antioxidants
Apply warm green tea (two bags brewed in one cup
of water) on your scalp and leave this mixture on for an hour and then rinse.
Green tea contains antioxidants which prevent hair loss and boost hair growth.
Natural
Herbs
If your hair loss is acute and you think you take perfect
diet then also are unable to prevent hair loss, some herbs may help you to
overcome your problem. Some Indian as well as Native American herbs can prove
to be good remedies for hair loss. Bhringaraj, is one of the main components of
ancient Ayurvedic hair oils and hair tonics meant for preventing hair loss. You
can also use Amla, Ghritkumari, Yucca
Plant and Yucca Root Powder, etc,.
Meditation
Meditation is simple and you don’t need to spend any money
on it. Everyone can practice meditation. When you do meditation, you can focus
your attention. You are able to eliminate the entangled thoughts that crowd up
your mind and cause stress by inducing hormonal imbalance. Meditation promotes
your emotional and physical well-being including your hair’s health!
Licorice
Root
Licorice root is another herb that prevents hair
loss and further damage to the hair. The mollifying properties of licorice
roots open the pores, soothe the scalp and help get rid of irritations like dry
flakes. This remedy is good for dandruff, hair loss and baldness. Add one
tablespoon of ground licorice root to one cup milk with a quarter teaspoon
saffron. Mix it thoroughly. Apply the paste on bald patches at bedtime and
leave it on overnight. In the morning, wash your hair. Follow this remedy once
or twice a week.
