According to hair experts, losing 50-100 strands of hair every day is fairly normal. It is only a cause of concern when you lose more than that. But you can stop hair fall in its tracks with these simple home remedies. Here’s how you can make them.

Steps:

    Chop one onion finely and squeeze out its juice.
    Apply the juice on your scalp and let it stay for 15 minutes.
    Now rinse with a mild shampoo and let your hair air dry.
    Use this twice a week to see results.

2. Garlic

Like onion, garlic too has high sulphur content. This is the reason why it is used in traditional hair regrowth medicines.

Steps:

    Crush a few cloves of garlic.
    Add coconut oil to it and boil the mixture for a few minutes.
    Let it cool down a bit and then massage it on your scalp.
    You can leave it on for 30 minutes and then wash your hair.
    Do this two times in a week.

3. Coconut

This ingredient has several benefits for your hair. Not only does it promote hair growth, but also conditions it. It has essential fats, minerals and proteins which reduce hair breakage. Coconut is rich in potassium and iron. You can use coconut oil or milk to prevent hair fall.

Steps:

    Warm a bit of coconut oil and massage it from your hair root to tip.
    Wash after one hour.
    Or, grate a coconut and squeeze out its milk by mixing in a little water.
    Apply it on the area where you notice thinning or balding.
    Let it stay overnight and wash off the next morning.

4. Henna

It is mostly used as a natural hair colour or conditioner but henna has properties that can strengthen your hair from the root. If you combine it with other ingredients, it makes for a better hair pack.

Steps:

    Take 250 ml of mustard oil in a tin can and add 60g of washed and dried henna leaves.
    Now boil the mixture the leaves burn and then filter the oil.
    Massage your scalp with it on a regular basis and store the rest in an airtight bottle.
    You can make another henna pack by mixing dry henna powder with curd.
    Apply it on scalp and hair and wash off after one hour.

5. Amla or Indian gooseberry

For people suffering from hair fall, amla or the Indian gooseberry is a blessing. It is packed with vitamin C and antioxidants that can reverse hair loss if it is in its initial stage.

Steps:

    Use either amla juice or powder and mix it with lemon juice.
    Apply it on the scalp and leave it to dry.
    Rinse hair using lukewarm water.

6. Egg

Egg has several ingredients that can prevent or control hair fall. It is a rich source of sulphur and ahs phosphorous, selenium, iodine, zinc and protein. All these promote hair growth.

Steps:

    Take the white of one egg and mix in a teaspoon of olive oil.
    Beat to give a paste-like consistency and apply to the entire scalp and hair.
    Keep it on for about 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse with cool water and a mild shampoo.

7. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera contains enzymes that directly promote healthy hair growth. Also, its alkalizing properties can help bring the scalp and hair’s pH to a more desirable level, which can greatly promote hair growth.

Regular use can also relieve scalp itching, reduce scalp redness and inflammation, add strength and luster to hair, and alleviate dandruff. Both aloe vera gel and juice will work.

Steps:

    Apply aloe vera gel or juice onto the scalp.
    Leave it on for a few hours and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
    Repeat the process three to four times a week.

8. Fenugreek

Fenugreek, also known as methi, is highly effective in treating hair loss. Fenugreek seeds contain hormone antecedents that enhance hair growth and help rebuild hair follicles. They also contain proteins and nicotinic acid that stimulate hair growth.

    Soak one cup of fenugreek seeds in water overnight.
    In the morning, grind them to make a paste.
    Apply the paste to your hair and cover with a shower cap. After about 40 minutes, rinse your hair.
    Follow this remedy every morning for a month.
