Hair Care Tips

In addition to the home remedies, there are certain other lifestyle changes you can make and tips you can follow to keep hair fall away.

1. Say No To Junk Food

It has been proven time and again that consumption of junk food can cause hair fall. Junk food contains excessive calories and no essential nutrients, which can eventually lead to hair loss.

You can instead switch to including more of green leafy vegetables, protein-rich foods, and fruits in your diet.

2. Be Gentle With Wet Hair

Wet hair is more prone to breakage, which is why you must be gentle while handling it. The best way to dry wet hair is to pat it with a dry towel, instead of rubbing it harshly.

3. Exercise Regularly

Regular exercise enhances blood circulation and improves the flow of oxygen to your scalp, thereby controlling hair fall. Ideally exercise for about 30 minutes a day, five times a week.

4. Stay Hydrated

Drinking sufficient water is one more way of keeping hair fall at bay. Owing to our busy and sedentary lifestyles, we seldom remember the importance of keeping ourselves hydrated. Drink about 6 – 8 glasses of filtered water on a regular basis.

5. Trim Your Hair Regularly

Split ends can also cause hair fall. To avoid this, keep trimming your hair periodically.

6. Avoid Steamy Showers

Hot water dehydrates hair strands, making them brittle and vulnerable to breakage. Rinsing your hair with hot water also flushes out the essential oils of the scalp, which can lead to further shedding of hair.

You can instead go for a shower with lukewarm or normal water.

7. Stay Away From Hot Styling Tools

Exposing your hair to high temperatures can destroy the vital proteins and damage your hair’s protective cuticles. When the cuticles are damaged, the moisture balance of your hair gets disrupted, making it susceptible to breakage.

Ideally you can limit the usage of hot styling tools (including your blow-dryer) to no more than twice a week. Also, make it a point to apply a heat-protection spray to reduce friction and protect your hair.

8. Don’t Wash Your Hair Too Less (Or Too Much)

You can skip shampoo for a day, but make sure that doesn’t become a habit. Not washing your hair for days together can lead to the accumulation of dirt, oil, and product residue that can clog the pores in your scalp.

On the other hand, washing your hair too often (washing every day) might remove the essential oils your scalp needs. The best you can do is wash your hair every two days, more so if you are prone to excessive sweating and use many hair products. Use a sulfate-free shampoo (L’Oreal Paris EverStrong Thickening Shampoo) to prevent excessive dryness.

Hair fall might be a serious problem; but like most serious problems out there, it can be prevented and treated with simple home remedies. Follow what we have told, and you will never have to worry about hair loss again!
