Remedies to cure hair fall.

There are many easy remedies in our kitchen that help in curing hair fall. These remedies usually work unless it is caused due to an underlying disease. In such a case it is advised to consult a qualified doctor.

Here are a few remedies...

• To provide shine to the hair use tea decoction as a final rinse after shampooing.
• An Ayurvedic remedy is: Take a handful of Neem leaves and boil them in two cups of water. After cooling and filtering use the decoction for rinsing the hair.
• To provide bounce to dull and lifeless hair, mix a little vinegar in warm water and rinse hair with it.
• Drinking at least between 10 and 14 glasses of water everyday is a popular way to prevent hair loss. This is because water helps in washing off toxins from the body.
• Caffeine is a diuretic which makes one urinate out more liquid than consume. Dehydration causes hair fall. So cut down on caffeine intake.
• Massage the scalp with warm oil at least once a week. The oil used can be coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil or any other oil. Castor oil may not suit those suffering from sinusitis.
• A mixture of fresh Amla juice and Lime juice in equal quantity can be used as a shampoo regularly. This helps in hair growth and prevents hair loss.
• Another well known remedy is to massage Almond oil on the scalp two to three times every day.
• Boil coconut oil  with the juices of curry leaves, basil, Hibiscus flower and Gooseberry(Amla). Apply on hair,wash after sometime. Do this at least once a week.
• Crush leaves of 5 petal Hibiscus flower and take the juice. Wash hair with this juice.

Hair Care Regime

It is essential to follow a proper hair care regime in order to prevent hair fall. Here are some dos and don'ts for good hair.

• Wash hair regularly using a mild herbal shampoo. This prevents itching and hair lice, thereby controlling hair fall.
• Do not comb hair when it is wet. The hair tends to break easily when it is wet.
• Avoid blow dryers as much as possible because too much of artificial heat dries the scalp causing dandruff.
• If hair dryers cannot be avoided it is good to keep it at a low setting and hold the dryer a little away from the scalp. This ensures the heat doesn't reach the scalp at a close range.
• Avoid  chemical hair colours. There are various risks involved in using chemical hair colours.
• Avoid harsh hair bands and clips as they cause tension to the hair and result in breakage.

Crowning glory - hair - maintain it

Hair is the crowning glory. Lustrous, healthy hair is in itself a sign of good health. It is said that losing about 100 hairs a day is normal. If you lose more hair then it’s an alarming sign.


Hair loss is caused due to many reasons such as lack of vitamins, minerals or iron in the body, age, pollution, heredity, stress, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalance and illness.One needs to eat healthy food, clean hair regularly, drink plenty of water and sleep properly for healthy and shining hair.


The basics to healthy hair includes a healthy diet, followed by a proper hair care regime, along with good sleep and providing hydration to the body. Too much of chemicals can steal the natural beauty and also result in hair fall.


A healthy diet  means eating  well balanced  food, timely meals,avoiding fried items and junk food. It helps to add lots of fresh vegetables, sprouts, fruits, fruit juice and adequate amount of water
