More than fifty million people in the United States suffered from some form of hair loss and the largely unregulated industry rakes in more money through some ambiguous treatments which could be permanently disfiguring.
Thinning hair can be one of the most emotional and devastating event for some people.
Some people suffered in silence and others lose their ego.
Women may find themselves the centre of stares and mockery and hence losing their self confidence.
Why Me? This may be one of the questions that popped up in your head? It is not uncommon that you lose 100 - 150 strands of hair per day but if you find yourself losing more than that, it might be an early warning that something is wrong.
You may have heard of some home remedies below: -Rub Olive oil or Castor oil and massage onto hair -Massage the scalp with egg yolk and leave for 1 hour before washing.
-Blanch scented geranium leaves in boiling water, strain, cool and use to wash the hair.
-Add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon powder to honey and olive oil and make it into a paste.
Apply onto hair for 15 minutes.
-Mix aloe vera and some herbal triphala and apply to the hair for a few months to see new hair growth and control hair loss.
Alternatively making some changes to your diet would also help.
The hair is comprised mostly of protein.
Hence by adhering to a diet rich in protein, hair growth can be encouraged.
Try eating meat with high protein together with wheat germ.
This diet is high in Vitamin B which is an important source of nutrient for the hair.
