Hair Loss
As suggested by aromatherapist Dr Blossom Kochchar, castor and sweet almond oil can strengthen roots. Apply this with the help of a cotton ball and massage gently with your fingertips.
Yoga asanas like kapalbhati, balayam and anulomvilom also help increase hair growth. These asanas help cleanse our system and open blockages for proper oxygen and blood flow which nourishes hair follicles and leads to regrowth.
Regular exposure to chemicals and heated appliances will only deteriorate your hair quality. Avoid regular straightening, colouring, blow-drying and perming as these further encourage hair loss.
For example, the Effectiveness of Hand Acupressure in Relieving Constipation among Patients with Paraplegia by Kim, Yeoun-Ok (Faculty of Nursing, Sunlin University), Choi, Soon-Ock (College of Nursing, Catholic University of Pusan) was a paper published to prove the impact of energy medicine over the body. In addition, other therapies have flourishing effects on spinal health, such as Physical Rehabilitation and Electro treatment that help re-educate the human anatomy and physiology of the body.
Your diet plays an essential part in healthy hair growth. Proteins are one of the very important nutrients to stimulate hair growth significantly. They help new hair grow, in place of the old ones. Foods like beans, cheese, milk, nuts, grains, and fish, chicken should be included in your daily diet.
Hair fall is a sign of lack of vitamins in your body. Amla is rich in vitamin C and high in antioxidants which help solve most hair problems. Amla could be applied onto the scalp. You could prepare a small mixture by crushing an amla or using its powder. The crushed amla juice could be added to 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon. Mix well and apply to the scalp and leave it to dry, then rinse using warm water.
Reduced on no iron in your body can also cause your hair to fall and thin down. Lack of iron weakens hair, right from the roots. For this, pay attention to including foods like spinach, soybeans, dal, red kidney beans, chicken, meat, eggs and fish for healthy hair growth.
Eggs are great for treating hair loss as they contain proteins and minerals. A hair pack containing egg whites and olive oil works very well for the hair. To prepare this, you’d need the white of one egg and mix in a teaspoon of olive oil. Beat it well to give a paste-like consistency and apply this to the scalp and hair. Keep it on for about 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse it with cool water and a mild shampoo.
The increasing exposure to unwanted pollution, dust, heat and humidity requires you to protect your mane well. Tie the hair up when outside, and cover the head with a scarf. This would keep you away from unhealthy exposure, as advised by hair stylist Rod Anker.
