Hair fall is one of the biggest nightmares that anybody can face – it starts with hair fall and leads to a receding hairline, thinning hair and even bald patches. Hair fall can be an indication of bad health, stress, lack of nutrition or even a mark of improper upkeep. While reversing hair fall is not in your hands, what you can do is to follow some healthy practices that will help you grow back fallen hair. Today we tell you how to regrow hair naturally to restore your glorious mane and lustrous locks.
How to Regrow Hair Naturally
Oil Massage
Even a layman will tell you when asked how to regrow hair naturally that you should start oiling your hair. The most important thing to do to regrow hair is to massage your scalp well. Your scalp houses the hair follicles – tiny openings that boost the growth of the hair. Feed the follicles with oil and massage at least twice a week. Use your fingertips to massage your scalp – this will activate the dormant hair follicles and force them into activity which leads to hair growth. You can then wrap your head with a warm towel for about an hour and let the oil do its magic. This method will strengthen your existing hair and will also promote hair growth.
You could do the massage with cold pressed coconut oil or use specialized oils for hair fall like Indulekha Bhringa Hair Oil.
Avoid Heat and Chemicals on Your Hair
Wondering what you had done to damage your hair? Take a look at this list to find out.
The next most important?advice that is given to people who want to know how to regrow hair is to stop using heat and chemicals on the hair. Your shampoos, styling gels and straighteners are harsh on the hair and can cause irreversible damage. If you cannot eliminate them, at least avoid them for a period of three months and switch to natural alternatives like a herbal shampoo or homemade hibiscus shampoo. If you are used to pampering your hair with products, try exotic natural oils like Moroccan oil instead. Your hair will thank you for the change!
Balanced Diet
What you feed the body reflects in the health of your skin and hair. Hair is mainly made of a protein called Keratin so in order to strengthen it, one needs to eat foods rich in proteins. Do not forget to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water- this will flush out the toxins from your body and promote hair growth.
Sleep and Relaxation
