Home Remedies For Hair Woes

Guest Post by Reward Me

Women often cringe at the amount of hair they lose while brushing or washing. Here are some causes of hair fall and tips to control it:

Stress: Stress increases testosterone, which interrupts hair growth. It causes a decrease in the supply of oxygen through capillaries, as well as poor nutrient absorption of the hair follicles, leading to hair loss.

GUD Tip: Performing yoga and meditation regularly is a stress buster and could prevent hair fall.

Nutrition and diet: Deficiency of nutrients such as biotin, protein, keratin and zinc causes hair fall. These nutrients contribute in vitamin absorption much needed for hair growth.

GUD Tip: Ensure that you have a balanced diet and increase the intake of protein rich foods.

Environment: Pollution and sun rays cause hair cells to age prematurely, making them weak.

GUD Tip: Protect your hair from pollution by using a scarf. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

Medication: Some medicines have grave side effects. Heavy medication and certain radiation based treatments may cause a hair loss.

GUD Tip: Opt for herbal alternatives to medicines whenever possible. These contain natural ingredients that aid hair growth.
