Do you think grey hair is the worst? Guess what? Damaged hair is even worse. With damaged hair, comes hair loss. Before looking for hair loss treatment, it is important to analyse the causes for the loss. Hair loss may be caused due to many reasons. The list includes excess shampooing, hair styling and colouring, exposing hair to chemical products, wrong diet, and high-stress levels.
Once you determine the cause for your hair loss, you can go for the hair loss cure that suits you the most. Taking steps to care for your hair can easily help find a hair loss cure. Hair loss treatment can be of different types including home remedies and pathological ones. Here are a few remedies that can be used to treat hair loss at home.
Make a mixture of 2 tablespoons of yoghurt with one tablespoon of honey and lemon. Keep for 30 minutes and wash with warm water first. Then wash with your regular shampoo. The curd helps soften your hair and also adds shine.
Another helpful hair loss home remedy is lemon juice. Simply squeeze a lemon into a bowl. Apply the lemon juice to your hair using a cotton ball. Keep for 30 minutes and rinse it off. Dandruff is a major contributing factor to your hair loss. Lemon juice helps reduce dandruff and makes your hair stronger.
Due to its medicinal properties, Aloe Vera is widely popular for all kinds of skin and hair treatments. It is also a good hair loss cure because it repairs the dead skin cells on your scalp and also promotes hair regrowth. Simply apply Aloe Vera gel (fresh preferred) on your hair and keep it for 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Egg is rich in sulphur and protein and hence makes for a great remedy for hair loss. The smell may be bad, but it does wonders for your hair. Mix one egg white with a teaspoon of Olive Oil and Honey and apply the paste from root to tips. Rinse after 20 minutes with a mild shampoo.
Everyone is familiar with the advantages of drinking Green Tea. What people may not be aware of is how good a green tea rinse can be for your hair. Green tea is a great home remedy which can be used to treat hair loss. Steep two to three tea bags in two cups of hot water. Once it cools down, pour it over your hair, gently massaging your scalp as you go through. Rinse with water when done.
