Natural Solutions to Hair Loss - 5 Important Tips You Must Follow to Protect Hair Loss

There are many reasons for hair loss like aging, certain medical conditions and medications, environmental effects, excessive smoking, genetic factors, hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, scalp infections, too much stress, and use of wrong hair products.

Experts say it is normal to lose about 50-100 strands in one day. However, if you are losing more than that, you need to do something to prevent it from resulting into bald spots or baldness. Take a look at some of the natural remedies for hair loss.

#1 Hair Oil Massage

Proper scalp and hair massage conditions the scalp, strengthens the hair's roots, and increases the blood circulation into the follicles. It also reduces stress and promotes relaxation. Once a week, you can massage the oil into your hair and scalp by using your fingertips and applying gentle pressure. You can use:

• Almond oil
• Coconut oil
• Amla oil
• Castor oil

#2 Fenugreek

Fenugreek seeds have hormone antecedents, nicotinic acid, and proteins that help restore hair follicles and improve hair growth, which is why they are highly effective treatments for hair loss.

Make a paste from fenugreek seeds by soaking them in water overnight. Apply it to your hair, cover with a shower cap, and rinse after about 40 minutes. Do this procedure every morning for one month.

#3 Indian Gooseberry

Also known as amla, Indian gooseberry has antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliating properties that can promote hair growth and help maintain a healthy scalp. It is loaded with Vitamin C, which is essential in preventing hair loss.

Massage your scalp with a mixture of one tablespoon each of amla or Indian gooseberry pulp and lemon juice. Leave your hair covered with a shower cap overnight and shampoo it in the morning.

#4 Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera has alkalizing properties that can bring the hair and scalp's pH to a desirable level. It also has enzymes that stimulate healthy hair growth. Regular use can lessen scalp inflammation and redness, alleviate scalp itching, remove dandruff, and strengthen and add luster to hair.

As a treatment for hair loss, apply Aloe Vera juice or gel on your scalp. After a few hours, wash it with lukewarm water. Do this for about three times a week.

#5 Onion Juice

Because of the high sulfur content of onion juice, it helps reduce scalp inflammation, increase blood flow into the hair follicles, and restore hair follicles. Onion juice also has antibacterial properties that can treat scalp infections and help kill parasites and germs. Here are two procedures, and for several weeks, do one of these treatments for about two to three times a week.
