Hair fall can be caused by a host of factors, from the environment to stress, and from lifestyle to grooming habits. So here are 10 simple ways to prevent hair fall, each one of which relates to all these factors.
Yes, the age old practice of oiling your hair is still relevant. Oil creates a natural barrier between environmental irritants and your hair’s roots. Dust, pollutants and sunlight are effectively negated by the simple application of oil on the scalp. Sure it is a little messy, but in the long run, the payoff is worth it.
2. Whenever possible, cover up
Hats, scarves and bandanas are more than just fashion accessories. This is especially true if you have a more active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors. A simple barrier between the air and your hair, in the form of either of these (hat, scarf, bandana) will dramatically lessen the impact of the environment on your hair, preventing hair fall.
Having a good hair care regime is of vital importance. Washing your hair with a good shampoo, one that is specially formulated for the subcontinental conditions
4. Yoga
Yoga helps with a wide range of ailments, and is also an effective stress management tool. Deep breathing, positive affirmations and keeping a smile on your face, will all go a long way in keeping the hair on your head as well!
5. Eat right
An often repeated mantra, but eating right also helps in stimulating hair growth and preventing hair fall. Hair is mostly protein, and it is a known fact that the Indian diet is plentiful in carbs (thanks to our penchant for breads and rice) but deficient in protein. A simple adjustment then, where you consume more plant and animal protein, like greens, soya, paneer, lean chicken and fish, will definitely have a positive effect in curbing hair fall!
