3. Keep Your Scalp Clean

A dirty scalp is always prone to infections. Make it a point to regularly shampoo and condition your scalp with reliable products. Keeping your hair clean will prevent dandruff problems. It will also keep itching and hair lice at bay which are among the main causes of hair fall.

• Besides washing, hair should be brushed properly.

• A wide-toothed comb should be used.
• Blow drying should be avoided as far as possible because the heat generated can cause damage to your hair.
• Avoid combing wet hair immediately after having a bath.

4. Follow a Healthy Lifestyle

An unhealthy lifestyle is also one of the causes of hair fall. So it is important to incorporate a few changes to make it conducive for healthy hair growth.

• Mental stress is one of the major contributing factors for hair fall.
• Practicing meditation is a great way to ease mental stress and restore hormonal imbalance.
• Proper sleep is also vital for overall health including hair health.
• Using too much heat and chemicals on the hair should be avoided.
• If you are using a hair gel, make sure you wash it off the very next day.
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol as much as possible.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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 six to eight glasses of filtered water on a regular basis.

9. Trim Your Hair Regularly

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

10. Avoid Steamy Showers

Hot water dehydrates the 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 increased shedding of hair. You can, instead, go for a shower with lukewarm or normal water.

11. 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 this happens, 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 not more than twice a week. Also, make it a point to apply a heat protection spray to reduce friction and protect your hair.

12. 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 to prevent excessive dryness.

By following the above natural hair growth remedies, you will definitely experience noticeable results. However, if none of these remedies are working, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist before the condition worsens. Certain medical treatments are also available, such as hair transplant, hair restoration, stem cell treatment, and hair extensions. You can go for these procedures but only after proper consultation with your dermatologist.

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 the above tips, and you will never have to worry about hair loss again!
