7 Things You Should Never Keep In Your Fridge & Why? | Dn. Tehreem Zafar

 Hair loss can be triggered by both ageing and genetics. The best therapies for hair loss depend on the underlying cause.

Principal Causes of Hair Loss

 Some or all of the following may contribute to hair loss:

• Family background
• Hormone modifications
• Irregular hair loss
• Scalp infections
• Other skin conditions
• Disorder of hair pulling
• Medications
• Some hairstyles

 

Some people are concerned about their hair loss. Certain habits and therapies may strengthen or regrow hair, depending on the reason for hair loss.

This article offers numerous suggestions to stop hair loss and regrowing hair.

1. Use coconut oil for damaged Hair

According to a 2018 study, coconut oil may aid in preventing hair loss brought on by UV damage or grooming practices. To prove this, however, more study is required.

The scalp can be massaged with coconut oil to strengthen hair and prevent breakage.

2. Give your scalp a massage

Regularly massaging your scalp with heated oil helps increase blood flow there and strengthen the hair follicles. Additionally, it works wonders for dandruff and scalp infections. For massage, you can use sesame, coconut, or almond oil. For maximum efficacy, use almond oil and coconut oil.

3. Aloe vera

The skin and hair benefit greatly from aloe vera gel. Open a stalk, then squeeze the gel onto your hair. After some time, rinse it off. Hair loss and scalp infections can be treated by aloe vera gel application. Aloe vera gel and coconut oil can be combined to increase effectiveness.

4. Treating Hair Loss with Eggs and Amla

Amla and eggs promote hair development. Biotin and proteins can both be found in eggs. Externally, an egg pack made using oil & honey helps to hydrate and nourish the hair. It prevents hair thinning and softens hair.

Amla, also known as gooseberry, is an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamin C, which replenish collagen and shield hair from oxidative stress. It guards against hair ageing too soon. Amla can be eaten as candy or as a drink. Any hair pack can be made externally by mixing its powder with it.

5. Use Hair Dryers Occasionally

Avoid using hair dryers, curling irons, or straighteners since the heat they produce harms hair follicles. Wet hair is delicate. The hair & cuticle are compressed when in an encounter with any iron implement.

 The water within your hair shaft boils when exposed to high heat from hot curling irons, hot brushes, or blow dryers, and the moisture, or "water of hydration," is expelled as steam. 

The result is a dry, fragile, and crack-prone cuticle. Continuous heating and drying hasten the thinning of hair. Adopt the new routine of naturally drying hair rather than wrapping it in thick towels.

6. Healthy Eating for Hair

The protein that forms the barrier enclosing the hair shaft is called keratin. A diet low in protein promotes hair thinning and ultimately hair loss.

 Legumes, poultry, and fish are excellent sources of protein. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish, avocados, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts and are known to encourage hair development. Hair growth is aided by adequate levels of iron in the blood, vitamin A, folic acid, amino acids, and biotin.

 Collagen is produced with the assistance of vitamin C. Dark green vegetables, eggs, yoghurt, guava, and yoghurt are all significant sources of micronutrients for hair.

7. Onion Juice

Onions' antibacterial qualities aid in the prevention of scalp infections, and their sulphur concentration enhances blood flow to the hair. It regulates hair loss and encourages hair growth.

Grind the onions and squeeze the juice from it to obtain onion juice.

Apply the onion juice-dipped cotton ball to your scalp.

After letting it sit for 20 to 30 minutes, rinse it out with warm water and a gentle shampoo.

Once a week, perform this step and observe the difference.

8. Don’t comb wet hair

Wetness makes our strands more brittle and breakable than ever. Because of this, it's crucial to use a broad comb or to let them air dry before doing any kind of style.

9. Avoiding Crash Diets

Diets that are extremely low in calories can deprive the body of vital nutrients, including those needed for healthy hair like zinc, fatty acids, and protein. Rarely do crash diets lead to long-term weight loss.

A 2019 review of the literature found that those who lose body cell mass as a result of losing weight from a low-calorie diet may have hair loss. Temporary hair loss may be the outcome of this.

10. Keeping hair safe as you sleep

The rubbing, tangling, and tugging that leads to hair damage can be avoided by using a silk or satin pillowcase.

Going to bed with wet hair could weaken and damage the strands. Hair is at its most fragile when wet.

11. Get Regular Trims

Regular haircuts can make your hair look better when hair loss happens as a result of damage and breakage susceptibility. 

Regular hair trimming reduces the risk of damage and brittle split ends, which can advance up the hair shaft and toward the scalp. 

Therefore, even though it may seem counterproductive to your objective if you're attempting to grow out your hair, getting frequent haircuts may really aid in this process by keeping your hair healthy and preventing breakage.

12. Consume a lot of Water

Take in a lot of high-quality water. Have a filter put under your sink or drink bottled water. To prevent dehydration and promote healthy hair growth, consume four to eight cups of liquid daily.

13.  Use hair supplements

Supplements can help if you don't get enough protein and iron from your diet. The vitamins Biotin, Viviscal, and Omega-3 fish oil are advised.

But before taking any supplement, consult your doctor first. Self-medication can be dangerous.

14. Consistently use oil treatments

Natural oils rich in acids and vitamins, such as those found in argan, coconut, macadamia, and almond, can help make dry, frizzy, unruly hair softer, shinier, and easier to manage.

 Additionally, it expedites hair development and lessens breakage. Any natural oil should be warmed up to a comfortable temperature. After letting it cool for a little while, gently massage it into your scalp.

 After an hour, shampoo while wearing a shower cap.

15. Acquire a water filter

If you shower, think about adding a water filter. By doing this, you can get rid of the germs, heavy metals, and chlorine that damage and break hair.
