Natural Remedies to Stop Hair Fall

1.   Egg Mask

Eggs are rich in protein, sulphur, phosphorous and zinc which together help to strengthen hair strands, promote hair growth and prevent split ends. Prepare the mask with one egg (egg white for oily hair and egg yolk for dry hair), and one teaspoon of olive oil and honey. Mix together and apply from roots to tips. Keep the mask for 30 minutes and rinse with shampoo and conditioner in cold water. Put on this mask once a week for better results.

2.   Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is an effective home remedy for hair loss and boosts hair growth. It helps to stop hair fall, soothes the scalp and reduces itchy and flaky scalp. Apply the aloe vera gel extracted from the stalk of aloe vera and leave for 45 minutes. Rinse with normal water. Try this at least three times a week to see improvement.

3.   Onion Juice

The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties of onions help to fight against scalp infections, while the sulphur content promotes collagen production that helps to produce more hair follicles. Onion helps to nourish the hair and prevent hair fall.
Apply the onion juice to your scalp and hair for20 to 30 minutes and then wash it off using normal water and a mild shampoo. Follow this procedure once a week and see the difference.

4.   Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has the potential to protect the hair from falling and further help them to grow stronger, thicker and healthier. It helps to slow down hair loss and prevent protein loss, which in turn reduces hair damage and breakage. When applied to the scalp, it moisturizes and removes sebum build-up from hair follicles, which speeds up hair growth. You can simply apply warm coconut oil to your scalp and leave it for 30 minutes before washing. Another pack can be made with coconut oil and olive oil. For more results, soak a towel in hot water and wrap it around your head. Leave it for about an hour and wash it off with a mild shampoo.

5.   Bee Venom oil

In a study reported in the biological and pharmaceutical bulletin, an investigation was made that Bee Venom oil helps with Alopecia(hair loss). Bee Venom inhibits the expression of a gene called SRD5A2. This is very important because SRD5A2 plays a major role in the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone or DHT. Bee Venom stimulates the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells along with several growth factors in these cells. Human dermal papilla cells give rise to hair follicles which then produce hair. Do not use if allergic to Bee stings and always patch test first.

6.   Rice Water

Rice water is a great way to reduce hair fall and restore the necessary proteins and keratin in the hair, thus helping to increase the growth rate of hair. The starch in rice water can help to streng then hair. Rice water can be made by boiling ½ cup of rice in double the water. Cook the rice in boiling water and strain the rice water to use. To reap the most benefit, it is best to rinse the hair with rice water after a wash  .Begin by using the rice water twice a week and monitor how your hair feels later on.
Apart from following these natural remedies to stop hair fall, eat a healthy and well-balanced diet which includes all the food groups including fruits, green vegetables, eggs, chicken, fruits, dry fruits, lentils and yogurt. It is also recommended to take supplements like multivitamins, Vitamin D and biotin to help prevent or reduce hair loss. However, taking too many supplements (including selenium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E) can also do harm and lead to hair loss. Therefore, it is advised to discuss it with your doctor before starting any supplement.

Conclusion
