There are several ways in which you could slow down or stop your hair loss but it all depends on the reason behind you’re losing your hair; Why?! Hair loss after pregnancy may get resolved of their own while hair loss due to your unhealthy habits or carelessness should be treated ourselves very cautiously. Hair fall is a common thing and losing a bunch of hair strands a day is pretty normal. It’s the time when it is persistent that you start getting concerned about it and you want to consult a doctor/hair expert. They might be able to diagnose whether your hair loss is caused due to stress, scalp infections, thyroid or any other factors. After identifying the real cause behind your hair fall, you can go forward with measures which give your hair more of a fighting chance. Here are some significant ways/tips to control your hair fall and to maintain healthy hair throughout your life.

  1. Balanced Diet

One fact which you should understand is that nutrition is very essential to maintain healthy hair. There is a high chance of hair fall for a person having nutrition deficiency as their hair will be brittle, weak & unhealthy. As hair requires a good amount of vitamins & minerals, you should be keen on picking healthy food for your diet. Vitamin A & B encourages healthy scalp & hair growth. It is mostly found in leafy vegetables like Cabbage (Biotin-rich), Milk, Milk products and vitamin-rich fruits like Mango, Papaya etc.

  1. Protein-rich Diet

Not only Vitamins but also Proteins are essential in your diet. Consuming an adequate amount of protein will promote healthy hair and will help you reduce the hair fall. Hair follicles are mostly made of protein. Biotin is an essential protein which helps in the production of a hair protein called Keratin. Most of the hair growth supplements in the market contain Biotin; so, you know the significance of it. Foods like dried beans and milk are very rich in protein.

 

  1. Enough Hydration

What if we tell that water helps in strengthening your hair? Yes, it does. The hair shaft contains one-quarter of water and dehydration will immediately slow down your hair growth. Drinking around two litres of water every day will strengthen your hair & upsurges hair growth. Always keep yourself hydrated because it also helps in other body functions.

  1. Oil Massages

Massaging your scalps with herbal oils for just 2 minutes will help you to keep the hair follicles active. Oil can easily penetrate through your hair shaft, thereby keeping your hair moisturized. It will also make the hair strong & less prone to damages. You should use warm oil to rub over your scalp and should leave it for a few hours to allow it to penetrate deep. You should only use a mild shampoo to wash it off.

  1. Hair Nourishment

Continuous exposure to sunlight, pollution, climatic changes, stress can all make your hair brittle and damage prone. Hair tend to lose moisture very quickly. It is suggested to use some hair masks in order to address this problem. It is recommended to use a good hair mask once in two weeks so that you can nourish your hair strands to keep them healthy & shiny.

  1. Use Shampoo Rightly

You might wash your hair regularly; but do you think its enough? Many have an interpretation that shampoos contain harmful chemicals and its usage will damage the hair. The fact is, shampooing is actually good for your hair and scalp for reducing the risk of infections and dandruff; but yes, some shampoos do contain harmful chemicals. That’s why we are recommending you to use mild shampoos for washing your hair. You should comb your hair thoroughly before washing with shampoo. Be careful not to use much quantity of shampoo and not to scratch your head with fingernails.

  1. Avoid Hot Water

Hair is very delicate, so it is recommended not to use excessively hot water on your hair. Hot water may affect your hair colour and will activate oil-producing glands. Be careful to use lukewarm water which help you remove the dirt and encourage the circulation of blood. It is always better to end your shower with cold water which will make your hair smooth & shiny.

  1. Avoid Brushing Harshly

Brush your hair gently as wet hair will be weak and has high chances of causing breakage. If you need to, then you should untangle your hair with fingers and only use a wide-toothed comb.

  1.  Dry It Naturally

Usage of blow dryers are not good for healthy hair. Should take care of it if you want your hair healthy, always. The hot air emitted from blow dryers will cause damage to your hair. Also, avoid using towels to dry your hair.

  1.  No Smoking

Smoking can cause serious damage to your hair. It will badly affect the amount of blood which flows to your scalp and which gradually results in reduced growth of hair.

  1.  Exercise & De-stress

Find enough time for some physical exercises or activities every day. Physical activities include walking, swimming, cycling etc. for at least 30-60 minutes which will create a balance to your hormone levels and stress level which helps in reducing the hair fall. De-stress yourself with meditation or by making a hobby of listening to soft music. Music is a great relaxation tool. Practicing Yoga will help you revitalize every cells of your body, clean your internal system thereby providing better flow for oxygen & blood.

  1.  Keep it Sweat Free

Head sweat will weaken your hair roots and cause hair loss. For those who wear helmet, it is recommended to wear a bandanna or handkerchief over your hair inside helmet. It will absorb the sweat instead of letting it into the pores; thus, hair breakage is prevented. Exposure to the sun rays will make your hair shafts brittle & dry which will result in hair fall. Cover your hair while going out under bright sunlight.

  1.  Keep It Healthy

Avoid tying your hair tight and avoid tight & congested hairstyles. Hairstyles like ponytails, braids and other artificial hairstyles which are done very tightly will pull a bunch of your hair follicles together which will cause hair fall. Avoid using harsh chemicals & permanent hair colour products. Some commonly used hair products may also contain harmful chemicals; watch out for the ingredients. Also braid your hair before going to bed which avoid getting tangled & frizzy.

 

  1. Get A Consultation

Don’t ever hesitate to consult a Dermatologist; if you are facing hair fall problems continuously, if it started all of a sudden, if you notice that your hair is shedding in large amounts after combing, if your hair losses thickness.

As every other disease, a healthy lifestyle is essential to protecting hair too. Take good care of your hair & Always keep your hair healthy.
