Hair loss natural treatment

It is normal to lose 50-100 hair a day since they grow back in the same follicle and are replaced eventually. However any hair loss that's more than that isn't normal requires treatment and possibly consultation with a doctor. While an imbalanced diet and eating disorders can lead to hair fall, often, hormonal imbalances and illnesses lead to excessive hair fall amongst adolescents, particularly girls.


Another common cause is the medication consumed for skin problems like acne. Chemical treatments, perming, straightening, coloring and bleaching also have adverse effects on the hair and increases hair fall.

Remedying hair fall includes using gentle shampoos, avoiding excessive rubbing of hair to dry it and using the blow-dryer sparingly and always on low-heat.


Wait until your hair is dry before styling it so as to avoid stretching and breaking any strands. Egg yolk applied to the hair before washing it works as an excellent conditioner. Henna also works, only with the after-effect of reddening and drying of the hair. Regularly massaging the scalp with oil, particularly almond or olive oil increases blood circulation and improves the general health of the hair. You can wash the hair with 1 cup of boiled water with 1 tsp mustard seeds or with a mixture prepared with rosemary or geranium leaves mixed in boiled water. However the best remedy is a healthy, balanced lifestyle with a nutritious diet.
