If you experience hair loss or have hair that is thinning, there are a few simple things you can do at home today to help improve the health of your hair and to help keep it healthy for the future.
1. As your body requires adequate liquids or fluids for good health, hair also requires adequate and regular supply of essential oils like rosemary, lavender, ginger, jojoba, sesame, basil, avocado, tea tree oil, olive, castor, lemon, almond and coconut oil. A proper daily massage of ten minutes with one of these essential oils for hair growth, can stimulate the scalp and improve the blood circulation, which can result in strong hair roots and long, healthy hair. Using good quality hair care products, having no chemical ingredients, can prevent dandruff and hair loss. Applying henna or massage with vitamin E oil or the above oils is quite beneficial and will work as supplementary food for hair growth. Along with all these one should drink a lot of water too.
2. The hormonal imbalance can be corrected through doctor’s attention. The cause for stress is to be found out.

Hair fall due to health condition can be corrected by eating healthy food. The stress due to loss of lovable one and working condition can be corrected through counseling from experts.
3. Your strands are made primarily from protein, and they need to be fed protein in order to stay strong and healthy. This is why raw eggs are a good natural hair regrowth treatment. Give yourself a good shampoo and then apply the egg onto your damp strands. Put a plastic cap onto your head and leave it on for one hour. The egg will nourish your strands. The heat generated from your head will allow the protein to penetrate your strands.
4. If you blow dry your hair or use other heated styling tools, you are doing unnecessary damage to your hair that will cause breakage, thinning and hair loss. Try reducing the number of days that you blow dry or style your hair, i.e. only do it when necessary for an event or meeting at work. Also try a new hairstyle or haircut that enables you to “wash and wear” your style without blow drying or styling.
5. Always opt for a healthy balanced diet, rich in vitamin B12, as it can be the best food for hair growth. The vitamins A, B, C, E and K should be present in your diet in adequate proportions, otherwise, hair will appear dull and lifeless. These are the essential vitamins for hair growth.
6. Certain herbs can help reverse male pattern baldness, a condition that affects as many women as men. Male pattern baldness is linked to a hormone known as dihydrotestosterone or DHT. DHT destroys the follicles. As a result, the strands fall out.
Saw palmetto, green tea, and nettle root extract can help slow down the production of DHT, which allows the strands to grow back.
