Everybody loses hair daily about a hundred strands is normal. But excessive hair fall is a cause for concern. Hair fall can be caused due to a number of reasons.
It could be hereditary which means if your parents suffer from severe hair loss you could have the same problem. It could also be the result of a recent illness or strong medications, hormonal imbalance, excessive stress and or some other medical condition. It can affect men women and in certain cases even children.
You need to pay attention to what you eat. Make sure you eat a well balanced diet and on time everyday. Eat lots of fresh fruits and leafy green vegetables. Eat oily fish like salmon that have a good quantity of essential omega 3 fatty acids. These are very good for the health of your skin and hair. Exercise regularly as it will help in good blood circulation to every part of your body.
Besides this you can try the following at home:
Take the yolk of two eggs and beat well. Massage this on your scalp and coat the length of your hair with it. Cover with a cloth or shower cap. Leave on for an hour and then wash off with plain water using a mild shampoo. This helps to nourish your hair.
Give yourself a good scalp massage while shampooing your hair. Don't use shampoos with strong fragrances and harsh chemicals as these will dry your hair, make it brittle and lead to hair fall and breakage. Instead use mild herbal shampoos.
Get a professional hot oil massage with steam at your local salon or do it at home. Mix almond, olive and vitamin E oil in equal quantities. Mix well and warm it. Dab this mixture on your scalp using a cotton ball and massage well. Apply the remaining oil along the length of your hair. Soak a towel in slightly hot water, squeeze out the excess water and wrap the warm towel over your head. Do this 2 to three times. The steam will open the pores on your scalp and increase the absorption of oil into it. This will also stimulate the hair follicles to promote new growth. The oils nourish the hair roots making them stronger. This greatly helps to control the hair fall and repairs the damage caused to hair. This takes some time to wash out but it is worth it. Use a mild shampoo to wash your hair.
