Hair fall is becoming the most prominent problem that every one of us is facing. Hair is something that adds or eliminates beauty very easily. Good, smooth, and silky hair makes anyone look good whereas thinning and damaged hair will make even the prettiest look ugly.
Usually, we shed around 50 to 150 strands of hair daily. But if you face excessive hair loss then it might be due to hormonal imbalance, hereditary issues, nutrient deficiency, or increased use of toxins. However, you will be able to stop hair fall by just taking proper care of your hair naturally. Listed down are some of the remedies suggested by a famous hair specialist in Pune.
- Oil Massage
Haircare is a non-negotiable way to increase hair growth.
Make a mixture of coconut oil, castor oil, and some peppermint oil and gently massage it deeply on your scalp for at least 20 minutes to cool your scalp and nourish it thereby reducing hair fall.
You can also heat this mixture and use it for hot oil treatment. This will ensure that the nutrients from the oil dives deep into the scalp and strengthens the root to stimulate hair growth.

- Take care of your hair after wash
Dry your hair using a soft towel. Do not rub your hair with the towel to dry it. Instead, wrap the towel around your head and let the towel soak excess water in your hair.
If you do not have time to towel dry, then use a dryer at a moderate heat. However, it is advisable to avoid using a hairdryer to dry your hair.
After drying your hair, use a wide-toothed wooden comb to brush your dry hair. A wooden comb will help you detangle any locks and prevent hair fall. Make sure to not brush your hair when it is still wet. Because hair loss happens rapidly when you comb wet hair.
- Regular destress
Stressing is the major cause of most hair-related problems. Stressing too much increases the toxicity level in our body. This adversely affects the root of our hair and weakens the scalp. An increase in toxicity also makes the scalp prone to various fungal infections.
So, it is extremely important to destress ourselves. Yoga and meditation are known to calm our body and mind and promote peace. You can also destress by just doing the things you enjoy doing. You can watch a movie, go for a walk, meet an old friend or cuddle with a pet.
A hair specialist in Pune suggests that it is imperative to take care of our hair constantly. Make sure you follow all the given tips above to have a damage-free, healthy, and nourishing hair.
