Let me start with a positive note that stopping of Hair loss, thinning, baldness is 100% possible.

CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS:

Most hair loss is NOT hereditary. Hair is literally being starved to death. Hair follicles are trapped and blocked off from vital blood supplies needed to nourish their development. It makes one feel insecure and depressed.

Most of us suffer from or struggle with the hair related ailments like hair fall, thinning of hair and balding due to modern lifestyles, stress, eating practices, chronic diseases like typhoid fever, presence of dandruff or lice and hormonal imbalance, inheritance, medication, anemia, injury, aging. Further to these, attempts with the aim to get rid of these problems like using some shampoo with chemical contents, improper medical advice or self medication add fuel to the fire and further aggravate the problem. Remedy becomes worse than the cure.

Though hair fall, thinning or baldness psychologically as well physically affects one's health, it can very well be curtailed. Relax and rest assured. One may stop hair loss and enable regrowth most if not full of your lost hair, fill in bald spots, thinning hair and receding hairlines, once the causes are addressed and eliminated. The solution may be in the form a drug based treatment, commercial treatment with products in the market, natural remedy and nutritional treatment or a combination of one or more of the above.

Tips To keep the hair healthy and Prevent Excessive Hair Loss

We all wish if it is even possible to prevent hair loss.

Find out the root cause in eating habits or lifestyle that may be increasing the Pitta dosha. Give up or at least reduce the diets, habits or activities responsible for increasing Pitta.

Have a healthy and balanced diet, containing adequate amount of protein and appropriate levels of carbohydrates. In common parlance, the diet should contain more green leafy vegetables, salads, fruits and sprouts, proteins, milk, buttermilk, yeast, wheat germ, soybean, etc.

At all times maintain a uniform bowel movement daily. In case of constipation, a natural laxative can be tried.

Make sure to get enough rest. Regular exercises are very useful as they help in containing the aggravated doshas.

The following may be tried under medical supervision/prescription preferably:

Natural hair products – whether Ayurvedic/Siddha/Herbal - high in natural oils are essential to enabling the hair to retain moisture and produce growth.

Natural soap (not with chemicals)

Shampoo and Coconut Dream Conditioner

HSN-W (hair skin and nail) Vitamins.

Aloe Vera juice, high in vitamins, though bitter in taste at times is very good for the body and repairs stomach walls too.

Some foods like almonds, sea weed, flax seed, fruits and vegetables are very beneficial to hair growth.

Oiling and massaging of scalp is very beneficial for stopping the hair loss. Use coconut oil mustard oil at least thrice in a week. Put oil on the scalp and massage lightly in the roots of the hair.

Rub your scalp fastly after washing the hair. It increases the blood circulation and activates the sebaceous glands.

Dab and rub olive oil all over the head and sleep with it the whole night and shampoo it out in the morning. Olive oil breaks up sebum hardened layers and eliminate bacteria.

Be gentle with hair – Do not use blow dryers and let your hair air dry well. Do not use tight hairstyles such as braids, pony tails and buns as well as hats that can rub on the scalp causing bald spots.

Using a hair brush and hair comb and the finger nails are more important in hair growth, though they may seem to be trivial.

Avoid coloring the hair if it can be avoided or at least allow 8 weeks between colorings. Coloring hair doesn't necessarily make it fall out; but can cause damage to the hair and increase the chances for excessive hair loss.

Certain pharmaceutical treatment is available, even without a prescription and has been shown to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss but only in a small percentage of people.

All those unnatural ways to grow hair with harsh chemicals and by plugging in hair transplants are not effective, besides having side effects and also being costly.

Though it is impossible to eliminate hair loss prevention, since it is a natural byproduct of aging.

Nevertheless, these tips will certainly offer one a much better chance of avoiding any type of excessive hair fall in the future.
