It is believed that shedding 50-100 hairs per day is normal. Hair experts give the reasoning for this. They say that human beings have an average of 100,000 hair strands on their heads; therefore losing 100 hairs does not cause noticeable thinning. However, it is a fact that hair fall (irrespective of the quantity) is a sign of weak roots and when the rate of hair loss exceeds regrowth, one needs to take precautionary measures to avoid baldness. Hair loss can be due to several reasons – it can be a result of hormonal changes, lack of proper nutrition or scalp infection. Hair loss can also occur as a result of medicinal side-effects. Irrespective of the cause of hair loss, natural hair fall treatment proves very effective in curing all problems.
Hair Fall Treatment: Take Nature’s Help to Cure Hair Loss Problems
Most doctors and hair experts recommend the use of natural products, such as, aloe vera, eggs, tea leaves, or neem to restore hair growth. Medicines offer quick relief but not a permanent cure. As opposed to medicines, natural products have holistic curative properties and provide long term benefits. If applied in the proper measure, natural supplements increase blood circulation to the hair follicles and roots, thus promoting hair growth.
There are some natural products that have proven very effective in checking a receding hairline. Some of them are:
Fenugreek seeds: The seeds of fenugreek help in controlling hair thinning and balding tendencies. For fast relief from hair fall problems, grind fenugreek seeds and boil them in coconut oil. Apply the oil on the scalp and leave on overnight. Wash it off with shampoo in the morning. One can also make a paste of the seeds with plain water and apply it on the scalp. Fenugreek seeds have nicotine acid and protein, which remove dandruff and strengthen the hair shafts.
Coconut/castor oil: Coconut and castor oil have hair restorative properties. When mixed together, the mix can prevent dryness and dandruff. For more effective cure, consider warming the oil mixture and applying it one hour before a shampoo. The lukewarm oil will seep into the hair roots, improve circulation to the follicles and strengthen the roots.
Green tea: Although green tea is more popular for its weight reducing properties, it is also effective in curing male pattern type baldness. Green tea contains polyphenol catechins, which prevents the secretion of enzymes that lead to hair loss.
In addition to these, a balanced diet, consisting of nuts, green vegetables, eggs, grain, carrots, raisins and dairy products, will promote a healthy scalp.
