Hair loss is a common problem. The mane that adorns our face sets the tone for our personality. Thick long hair is itself an indication of good health. Unfortunately not all of us can boast of such an acquisition. The growth of good healthy hair depends upon- nutrition, the chlorine content of water, the kindof blood circulation received in the scalp area and other miscellaneous factors. If your nutrition lacks certain minerals or vitamins then chances of hair fall increase as the scalp is unable to nuture healthy hair. Regular intake of vitamins A,D, E, K along with essential minerals like Mg, Zn, Ca, etc is important. Inclusion of multivitamin tablets is the easiest but a diet plentiful in fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and grain is the nature's way. To increase the circulation of blood towards the scalp area a good regular massage with ayurvedic herbal oils does wonders.
Massage of the scalp promotes good blood circulation and makes the scalp supple. The oils and the herbs lubricate the hair shaft and protect the hair from the harshness of chemicals and dust, that blow along with the wind. Regular brushing or combing of hair also promotes good circulation. Use of a non-alkaline conditioner and a good pH balanced shampoo is of vital importance in preventing hair fall. A normal cosmetic or medicated soap is an absolute 'no' forhair.
A soap is neither pH balanced nor does it have hair conditioners, additionally it causes the hair filaments to stick to the cake of soap and pulls out good healthy hair.
