Default Hair fall

Hi,

Straightening the hair always increases the hair fall and also makes the hair very brittle. You have to look after your hair properly. Oil your hair atleast once a week and massage it yourself nicely with your finger tips . The scalp should move under your fingers. Massage nicely for about 10 mts and then tie up your hair for an hour or so. Wash it off with a herbal shampoo/ mild shampoo. You have to do it atleast once a week.
If you are an eggitarean, you can apply one egg to your scalp for half an hour and then take bath. This will surely help to stop your hair loss.
Eat nuts and protein rich food. You have to maintain your health always. Drink plenty of water daily. All these, if you follow, will surely help you combat your problem
And you always remeber that a little bit of hair loss is natural. If you start tensing up then you'll start losing more.
Love
Latha

Default hair fall

hi sanravi,
i too had the same problem when i came to US.I india we used to have oil bath and shikai but in US there is no other go we r using only shampoo.The main reason is we r using the hot water which contains some chemicals,these enhances increase in hair fall.The only way to reduce is to use conditioner after applying shampoo,here we apply oil only once in a week so these conditioner helps in reducing dandruff.Try this and check it out whether this works out for u

thx
bye

Default Aloe Vera

If you get aloe Vera leaves there, try to get some. Remove the outer skin of about 15 leaves and take out the gel. Add this to half litre coconut oil and boil till it turns like sand grains. Cool and strain. A friend of mine is using this. She said it stopped her hair fall.

hi
read ``ask bambi on diet and health'' question on hair care by vidya24 answered by bambi question asked on 28th april.
hair loss can happen after a certain age.. in winter and summer. for immediate results stop worrying about hair fall !! easier said than done !!
try this pack before washing your hair
soak fenugreek in water overnight , make a paste of it in the morning and apply to scalp retain for about twenty minutes wash with water(cold preferably) washing hair is best with rain water and just plainsoft water. use besan if u cannot get shikakai. better than any shampoo..
sathya

Default massaging

Dear Sanravi ,

By ' scalp should move underneath your fingers' , I meant that the skin of the scalp should move .
Work in small circular motions , first clockwise and then anti clockwise . When you use your fingertips the skin should move and not your fingers. Or first , you just give small strokes to the scalp. You'll feel it gets softer. If you do it regularly you'll know what I am talking about.
If you do like that , the blood circulation improves and the hair fall stops. A little bit of hair (50 to 100 hairs) falling is natural. One particular season also the hair fall will be more. For each person it is different. For me it is july to sep, every year I have seen hair fall. That's normal. If it falls and doesn't grow back, only then you have to worry. As long as your hair grows back do not worry.
Latha
