Healthy hair is a sign of good health and if you take care of your nutrition, you are unlikely to suffer hair loss. People have varying types of hair depending on heredity. Commercial hair products, hormonal problems, stress and even some conventional medicines can trigger hair loss. Here are some tips to help you look after your hair:
You must take a good nutritious diet not just for your hair but for your overall well-being. A diet that includes proper amount of minerals, especially silica, iron, sulphur, zinc, and the Vitamins of B and C group are good for your hair.
Be kind to your hair by using natural and herbal products instead of chemical-laden commercial hair gels, shampoos etc. Instead of using electric rollers, dryers and other instruments, allow your hair to dry naturally. This will prevent it from getting brittle. If you want to make a rinse in your kitchen, mix one cup each of epsom salts and juice of lime in half a bucket of water to pour through dry hair before shampooing 15 minutes later.
Do protect your hair from hot sun by wearing a cap or hat when you go out. Rub olive oil into your hair before you go swimming. In fact, before entering the pool, it is best to put on a swimming cap that will keep your hair safe from the chemicals in the swimming pool water.
A lot of medicines can cause hair problem too. If you are taking thyroid drugs, contraceptive Pill, cortisone or diet supplements, you must discuss hair loss with your doctor. The lowest dosage of medicines should be maintained to prevent side-effects. But you can boost hair health by regular massage with your fingertips and palm. You may use a little apple juice to check dandruff and apple cider vinegar as a rinse before shampooing your hair.
Drinking stinging nettle tea is good for keeping your hair healthy and it works great as a rinse too. You can also ask your doctor to give you silica mineral tablets to prevent thinning of hair.
Usually stress can also lead to hair loss. You can do regular meditation, light exercises like yoga etc to keep stress at bay. It will help you improve your overall health as well. But if you suddenly experience an alarming rate of hair loss you must cross-check with your doctor about the possibility of any serious health disorder.
