Full guide about hair loss/ hair fall and regrowth hair at home

There are many potential causes of hair loss, including genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, medical conditions, and medications. Some common causes of hair loss include male and female pattern baldness, thyroid disorders, and iron deficiency anemia. Psychological stress, poor nutrition, and certain hairstyles and treatments can also contribute to hair loss.

Genetic predisposition:

Male and female pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss. It is caused by a combination of genetic factors and hormonal changes. This type of hair loss is characterized by a receding hairline and thinning of the hair on the scalp. The most effective treatment options include minoxidil and finasteride, which are medications that are applied topically or taken orally.

Hormonal changes: such as those that occur during pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid disorders, can cause hair loss. Once the underlying condition is treated, the hair loss will stop.

Medical conditions:

Certain medical conditions, such as lupus, diabetes, and anemia, can cause hair loss. In these cases, treating the underlying condition will often improve hair growth.

Medications:

Certain medications, such as blood thinners, birth control pills, and antidepressants, can cause hair loss. If hair loss is a side effect of a medication, a healthcare professional may be able to prescribe an alternative medication.

Psychological stress:

Stress can cause hair loss by causing the hair to enter the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle prematurely. This can lead to a temporary condition called telogen effluvium, in which hair falls out in large amounts. Stress management techniques, such as exercise, meditation, and counseling, can help reduce hair loss caused by psychological stress.

Poor nutrition:

A diet lacking essential nutrients can cause hair loss. Eating a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help to improve hair growth.

Certain hairstyles and treatments: Hairstyles that pull on the hair, such as tight ponytails and braids, can cause hair loss. Chemical treatments, such as bleaching and perming, can also damage the hair and lead to hair loss. To prevent hair loss caused by hairstyles and treatments, it is best to avoid hairstyles that pull on the hair and to limit the use of chemical treatments.

What kind of hair brush should we use?

Hair brushes can have an impact on hair loss, as certain types of brushes, or those that are old and worn can cause damage to the hair and scalp. If you are experiencing hair loss, it may be helpful to switch to a brush with gentler bristles, such as a boar bristle brush, which can help distribute natural oils from the scalp and minimize damage.

Additionally, regular cleaning of the brush is important to remove dirt, oils, and any dead hair or skin that can cause irritation to the scalp and hair.

Which time is best for a hair massage to promote hair growth?

Massaging your scalp with oil at night can promote hair growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles and nourishing the scalp with essential vitamins and minerals. It's recommended to use a natural oil like coconut, olive, or castor oil. Warm the oil and gently massage it into the scalp for 10–15 minutes before going to bed. Cover your hair with a shower cap or towel to prevent staining your pillow. Rinse with shampoo the next morning.

The most important thing is to be consistent with your hair massage and make it part of your regular hair care routine. Regularly massaging the scalp can increase blood flow, which can promote hair growth. Also, massaging oil into the hair before washing it is effective, as it allows the oil to penetrate the hair shaft and nourish the hair from the inside out.

It is also important to use the right amount of oil and not overdo it, as this can lead to greasiness and make the hair look dirty. Also, use gentle circular motions while massaging the scalp; avoid using your nails.

Which oils are best to use for preventing hair fall and making our hair grow?

There are several oils that may be beneficial for hair loss, depending on the cause of the hair loss. Some popular oils that are used to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss include:

Coconut oil: This oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that nourish the hair and scalp. It can help strengthen hair, reduce breakage, and promote growth.

Castor oil: Castor oil is rich in fatty acids and is known for its ability to moisturize the scalp and hair. It is said to help increase blood flow to the hair follicles, promoting hair growth.

Jojoba oil: This oil is similar to the scalp's natural sebum, making it an effective moisturizer for the hair and scalp. It can help balance the scalp's oil production and promote hair growth.

Argan oil: This oil is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that can help nourish the hair and scalp. It can also help reduce frizz and improve the overall health of the hair.

Rosemary oil: Rosemary oil has been found to help increase blood circulation to the scalp, which can promote hair growth. It can also help to strengthen the hair and keep it healthy.
