Let us talk about its major reasons and the do's and don'ts to fix it as fast as possible.

Hello Friends!

Welcome to The Knowledge Hunt :)

I want to start this article talking about the six mistakes that you might be doing on a daily basis which is damaging your hair.

1. Heat is bad for hairs

Mistake # 1 - You aren't saving your hair from excessive heat.

Heat in any form is harmful for your hair. So taking hot water bath, excessive use of hair dryer or a straightening machine should be avoided.

2. Avoid Shampoos containing sodium lauryl sulphate  

Mistake # 2 - You use a shampoo which contains sulphate.

Are you using the shampoo which contains sulfate? Check the ingredients of your shampoo and see if it contains sodium lauryl sulfate. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a detergent which is known for hair loss.

3. Wash hair products before going to sleep

Mistake # 3 - You don't wash the products before going to sleep at night.

Try not to use too many hair products. If in any case you use them, make sure to wash them before going to sleep at night.

4. Avoid brushing wet hair

Mistake # 4 - You brush hair when they are wet.

Rubbing wet hair vigorously leads to hair breakage. So avoid brushing wet hair.

5. Avoid tying hair too tightly

Mistake # 5 - You tie hair tightly all the time.

You should not tie your hair tightly all the time as it puts a lot of pressure on the roots and causes the hair to fall.

6. Live stress free

Mistake # 6 - You take a lot of stress

Too much of frequent emotional stress can also lead to hair loss. Hairs have their fixed cycles. It is like lithium ion battery. The more stressed out you will be, the faster it will be discharged.

Causes of Hair Fall

Now, let us talk about the 3 major causes of hair fall and the ways to fix it quickly.

# 1. Poor Blood Circulation

The nutrients in our body flow through blood. If the circulation of blood in your scalp area is low, even if you take a nutritious diet, your hair will fall. This is because the nutrients are not able to reach the scalp area resulting in weaker hair follicles.

So how do we improve the blood circulation?

One way is to massage your scalp for at least 3-4 times a week.

Now, what oil you will use for massage should be taken care of. You should not use oils with artificial fragrances. This is because the artificial fragrance that it contains is because of the alcohol and as we know alcohol is not good for your hair. So it is better for us to use mustard oil, coconut oil or almond oil.

Oils good to massage your scalp

Massage has to be done gently. If it is vigorously done, it can lead to hair breakage i.e. more hair fall.

You can massage your hair before going to sleep and then you can wash it in the morning.

Another way of improving blood circulation is doing exercise regularly. Any exercise (eg. Pushups, pull ups, skipping, swimming, jogging, cycling, etc.) done for 15 - 20 minutes can improve blood circulation drastically.

Specially women, those who are also suffering from thyroid or other kind of hormonal imbalances, exercise is highly recommended.

# 2. Increase in Dihydrotestosterone

Another major cause of hair loss is the rise in the levels of dihydrotestosterone. Almost 90% of the hair loss in men is due to the hormone called dihydrotestosterone which is commonly known as DHT.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is essentially formed from testosterone through a biochemical reaction. DHT causes the shortening of the lifespan of hair follicles. Then it chokes the hair follicles and eventually shuts them down.

So, in order to reduce the DHT levels in the body, you should include DHT blocking foods in your diet.

Some of the DHT blocking foods are Fenugreek seeds, Almonds, Tomato, Banana, Carrots, Mushrooms, Pumpkin seeds, Watermelon, Walnuts, Peanuts, Coriander, Spinach, Mangoes, etc.

This is one of the reasons why you see bodybuilders who take testosterone injections getting bald.

# 3. Poor Nutrition

Poor nutrition is the major reason due to which the hair of both men and women start to thin out at a very early age. If our body is devoid of nutrients for a very long time, one thing it can afford is to lose hair. Body thinks that it will survive without a single hair on the head. So, it stops making hair and takes more care of the other vital organs. So, any hormonal imbalance or lack of nutrients, hair has to pay the price.

These days fast food, fad diets, cola, artificial sweeteners, artificial juices, processed foods are very much a part of every teenagers diet. This needs to be fixed.

Every hair strand is made up of protein so you must definitely have your daily dose of protein. Foods like eggs, kidney beans, chickpeas, black chana, lentils, paneer, chicken, fish are all rich in protein and should be a part of your daily diet.

Also, healthy fats are necessary for hair health. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, walnuts, flax seeds are all good sources of healthy fats.

There are generally two types of Vitamins. Water soluble and Fat soluble. Vitamin A, B, E and K are all fat soluble. So, if you remove fats from your diet, your body will anyway get deficient of these vitamins. So make sure that healthy fats are a part of your daily diet. Also B vitamins are very important for our health.

Next, Iron and Vitamin C are also very important to prevent hair loss. Iron and Vitamin C come hand-to-hand. This is because Vitamin C is necessary to absorb iron in the body. If you take iron but you don't consume vitamin C in proper amount, it will not be absorbed.

Sources of Iron

All the green leafy vegetables like Spinach and Cauliflower are great sources of iron. And one of the best sources of Vitamin C available to us is Amla (Indian gooseberry). Other sources of Vitamin C are Orange, Guava, Lemon, Capsicum, etc.

Foods containing Vitamin C

So if you consume a well-balanced diet and apply these basic tips (home remedies) in your regular routine, you will see that you have stop losing your hair.
