Ayurvedic Remedies For Hair Loss You Should Not Miss

Shedding a few strands of hair is a natural process but hair loss more than the normal amount without proper re-growth is a major cause of concern.

While the market is flooded with products that can address the cause, it is vital to understand the root cause of your problem before applying random products induced with chemicals that can do more harm than good in the long run.

Some primary cause of hair fall can be:

Heredity:

One of the major causes of hair loss is heredity or family history. It occurs with age in a predictable pattern.

 

 

 

Hormonal Changes:

Any natural or otherwise change in the hormone can also be a reason for hair loss such as pregnancy and menopause.

 

 

 

 

Medication:

Hair loss can also be a side effect of a certain drug used for treating cancer, heart problems, blood pressure, depression etc.

 

 

 

Stress:

Many people experience thinning of hair due to a long cycle of severe mental or emotional imbalance namely stress, depression, anxiety etc.

 

 

 

 

 

Hair Treatment:

Excessive use of heat equipment or unhealthy hair treatment practices can also lead to hair loss.

 

 

 

 

Habits:

Certain habits that put a lot of pressure on hair such as a tight pony-tail or frequency of parting sides, smoking, excess sun exposure can also cause hair thinning leading to hair-loss of a certain area.

 

 

 

Infection:

Fungal infection such as dandruff is also a cause of hair fall.

 

 

 

 

 

Diet:

An unhealthy diet and lack of elements in the diet that are responsible for nourishing hair is also a cause for hair loss.
