In today’s life, hair fall is a very big issue due to factors like pollution, stress in day-to-day life, too much junk food, using heating tools, chemical treatments, nutritional deficiencies, health issues, sleep pattern disturbances, and even genetics.

Signs of hairfall

Everyone is experiencing hair fall in their day-to-day life. It is completely normal to break up to 100 hairs per day. So don’t worry too much about this; but if you are having more than that, then it may need some attention.

Here are some signs that can help you know when it is an alarming sign or needs any medical attention.

• Shedding - A large amount of hair is lost every day, everywhere, like in the bathroom, on the pillow, and everywhere in your home. When you simply run your fingers through it, then it is shedding.
• Texture – Very frizzy or oily even if you have done your shampoo on the same day.
• Bald spots – Losing hair in some particular circular areas, such as bald spots on the scalp, eyebrows, or, for men, beards, can be itchy or painful.
• Widening partition – If you divided your hair into partitions on a regular basis, then you may notice that the partition becomes wider. It can also be a sign of hair loss.

So first, you have to know the signs and the actual reason for the hair fall. If you are facing any medical issues or allergies to something, then before using the remedies, you should take advice from your doctor. Now, let's come to some natural and effective remedies.

Final Thoughts

First, you need to know your body and the reason for hair fall, whether any allergies are present or not. If there is any medical condition, then take advice from a healthcare provider before using anything. Otherwise, you can use all of them; they are completely natural remedies that are effective. You can even boil all the items given with a carrier oil and store it. If you want to add essential oil to it, then add it after the oil reaches normal temperature. But the most important things are water and diet. In many places, people are using water for hair washing that contains lots of iron and other chemical nutrients, which can harm your hair, so try to use plain, normal water. Also, eat healthily so that you become healthier from the inside, and you will see the results in a better way.
