CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS OR BALDNESS

1. Diet

The most important cause of hair loss is insufficient nutrition. Persons lacking in vitamin B6 lose their hair and those deficient in folic acid often become completely bald. But the hair grows normally after the liberal intake of these vitamins.

2. Stress, Prolonged Illness, Unclean Conditions

Other important cause of hair loss are stress such as worry, anxiety, and sudden shock, general debility caused by severe or long standing illnesses like typhoid, syphilis, chronic cold, influenza, and anemia. An unclean condition of the scalp which weakens the hair roots by blocking the pores with the collected dirt and heredity.

REGULAR HABITS

1. If you want to grow hair, trim the hair every one-month.

2. Do not wash your hair with too hot water.

3. Do not wash your hair more than 2 times in a week. If you use any shampoo, use only a mild shampoo.

4. Never brush the hair when it is wet.

5. Avoid sharp clips, tight rubber bands and spiky brushes.

6. Do not over comb the hair.

7. Do not comb the hair backwards. Use a good quality brush/comb. Avoid excessive brushing.

8. Massage the scalp vigorously for 10 to 15 minutes (until you start to feel hot there) after bathing it with water. This stimulates the blood circulation and strengthens the hair follicles in the scalp.

NUTRTITION INTAKE

The healthy condition of your hair depends, to a very large extent, on the intake of sufficient amounts of essential nutrients in your daily diet. Persons with a tendency to lose hair should take a well-balanced and correct diet, made up of foods which, in combination, should supply all the essential nutrients. It has been found that a diet which contains liberal quantities of seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables and fruits would provide adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients. Each food group should roughly form the bulk of one of the three principal meals. These foods should, however, be supplemented with certain special foods such as milk, vegetable oils, honey, wheat germ, yeast and liver.

HEALTHY DRINKS AS NATURAL CURE FOR HAIR LOSS

1. Drink 1 teaspoon cider vinegar mixed in 1 glass of water with meals for 2-3 weeks.

2. Drink a smoothie of banana honey, yogurt, and skim milk.

3. Drink daily a juice of alfalfa + fresh spinach or fresh coriander. Your hair will grow fast.

4. Drink half a liter of a mixture of lettuce and spinach juice daily to increase the growth of hair.

5. To remove copper deficiency, drink juice of carrot, lettuce, capsicum and fresh alfalfa. This is good remedy for gray hair and hair loss.
