Regularly wash your hair with mild shampoo
Regular hair washing is a part of preventing hair loss. Clean hair means you have less risk of infections and dandruff that may lead to hair breakage or loss.
Vitamin for hair loss
Vitamins are not only healthy for overall wellbeing but also good for your hair. Vitamin A encourages healthy production of sebum in the scalp, vitamin E improves blood circulation in the scalp to help hair follicles remain productive and vitamin B helps hair maintain its healthy colour.
Enrich diet with protein
Eating lean meats, fish, soy or other proteins promotes hair health and in turn helps curb hair loss.
Scalp massage with essential oils
Those who have been experiencing hair loss for quite some time must massage the scalp with essential oil for a couple of minutes each day. It helps your hair follicles remain active. You can add lavender in an almond or sesame oil.
Avoid brushing wet hair
When hair is wet, it is in its weakest state. So avoid brushing wet hair because the chances of hair loss increases. But if you must comb wet hair, use a very wide-toothed wooden comb. Also avoid brushing hair too frequently as doing so can injure hair and increase loss.
Garlic juice, onion juice or ginger juice
Rub one of the juices on your scalp, leave it overnight and wash it out in the morning. Do it regularly for a week and you will see a noticeable result.
Keep yourself hydrated
The hair shaft comprises one quarter water so drink at least four to eight cups of water per day to stay hydrated and for the growth of healthy hair.
Rub green tea into your hair
Studies have shown that rubbing green tea into hair may help curb hair loss problem. All you need to do is brew two bags of green tea in one cup of water, leave to cool and thereafter, apply it to your hair. Rinse your hair thoroughly after an hour. To see results, practice this regularly for a week to ten days.
Know what is bad for hair
Avoid rubbing your hair dry with a towel. Rather, let hair dry naturally.
Reduce Alcoholic Beverages
If you are experiencing hair loss than lessen your alcohol intake because drinking alcohol reduces hair growth.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking cigarettes reduces the amount of blood that flows to the scalp and this causes a reduction in hair growth.
Physical activity
Walk, swim or bike for 30 minutes a day helps balance hormonal levels, reduce stress levels and helps slow hair fall.
De-stress
Studies in the past have found medical evidence to link stress with hair loss. De-stress yourself; one of the ways of doing it is by practicing meditation. Alternative therapies such as meditation and yoga not only reduce stress but restores hormonal balance.
Avoid Constant heating & drying
Don’t subject your hair to frequent, constant heating and drying procedures. Heat weakens hair proteins, and constant heating and drying can lead to weakness and fragility that causes hair loss.
