Hair fall is a problem that is suffered by many people. The causes could vary from physical, emotional and psychological. Losing a few strands of hair every day is normal but changes in the density of your hair ring an alarm and worry. The causes may be due to some changes in your routine such as medicine or stress or fight and flight factors that weaken the hair. Nutrient-enriched food containing a healthy amount of protein, zinc, biotin, calcium and other fatty acids is essential. Controlling stress by inculcating the practise of exercise, yoga and meditation can help in a long way to keep your hair along with your body. The overheating, overwashing and overstyling of your hair can be a cause of the loss of your hair. Always use a heat-protecting device before using ironing products on your hair. Stay free from sulphate-based shampoo.
