Tips to Treat Dandruff & Hair Fall Naturally

Ladies a good hair day is a myth (so jealous of those Disney princesses!). Call it self-admiration or obsession, a woman would never stop thinking healthy about her hair – how much ever messy it may appear. Nonetheless, making hair healthier is in our hand. In fact, sometimes the luscious touch in hair seems to disappear because of excessive dandruff and that leads to massive hair fall. Nobody enjoys hair fall, and a dwindle hairline is cringe worthy – one thing that bothers women more than anything. While some would advise medical treatments for this, we would suggest you try out a basic diet first so that the body goes back into equilibrium. We always have natural helps that would get us back on track with solutions to take care of the smooth and soft hair.

Here are some steps and routines to follow when you’re in a combating zone with problems like dandruff/hair fall:

A Routine Diet

A nutritious – full of protein diet is a lengthy process but an effective answer to any of your hair problem. Plus, now that a breezy winter is gone, and summer kissed us very hard this year, drinking lots of water is surely a long-term solution. Remember how mothers always used to give us this good tip and being the brats we were, tended to ignore her completely? Yes, that was our clue and now we know it! Eating vegetable, Salmon, Broccoli and even applying Almonds are your answer to hair troubles. Basically “Eat your greens”!

What’s Your Hair Type?

While some of us would not intent to but at one stage felt the need to understand the hair type. Still confused? Let me put it in this way… Have you ever gone to a doctor and he asked you if your hair is dry or oily? Yes, everyone’s hair type is different and there are plenty of different products in the market that are produced for your hair type only. If it’s hard for you to figure out your hair type, consult a doctor. Once you know, it would be easier for you to check out the ingredients in the products before buying it. Every product mentions the type in the bottle — oily or dry hair. We recommend paraben-free which are milder for your hair.

Get the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Based on your hair type, choose a good shampoo and remember it is very important. The defense against dandruff and hair fall would only work if you invest in superiority and also select the right conditioner wisely. Most of the time frenzy hair are the result of using the wrong products but it is also equally important that people believe just shampooing is not enough. Using conditioner (let’s mug it up — conditioning, conditioning, and conditioning) after a long hair-bath would restore significant oils and nutrient which get washed off every time you shampoo. While coloring, your hair leaves you with a damage line, let’s not get carried away and spend moolah on the right type shampoo. To stop the ultimate hair fall, a dandruff shampoo which has active ingredients such as zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, sulfur, coal tar, selenium sulfide and ketoconazole, are recommended.

Hair Masks: Apply, Rinse, and Repeat

Treating your hair good using home remedies should be another anthem as it has an effective result on the scalp and actually addresses the root of the problem. There are a zillion recipes online that help you prevent hair loss problem. I personally use natural products such as baking soda and a curd mask for my hair during monsoons. No matter how cruel your city treats you during that season, rubbing Tea Tree Oil mild shampoo or applying Apple Cider Vinegar vigorously for a couple minutes can be used too, to remedy dandruff at home. Rinse the dirt and humidity now, shall we? Basic home remedies are just the perfect super food for your scalp to keep your hair healthy and shiny.

Do’s:

• Keep the scalp supple and hydrated
• Regular eat vitamins, protein, and iron to keep your hair strong and prevent from breakage.
• A rich source of vitamin A and C helps as natural hair conditioner. Also, acids and iron items result in strong hair.
• Apart from food, oil your scalp regularly to be hair healthy. Don’t listen to them who advice that regular shampooing will cause hair to break. It’s completely untrue and in fact, if you wash hair regularly, it keeps you itch-free scalp all day long.
• I know how hard it would be for you to bare the smell of ghee or mustard oil, but they are the extreme gift for your hair.
• Visit salon once in a while.

Don’ts:

• Change the habits of poor hair brushing and treating your hair during stress.
• Scratch not
• Don’t overdo anything – not even washing too often or coloring
• Blow drying and Straightening are strictly prohibited
• Avoid caps/hats
• Say no to harsh chemicals or an expensive trip to the dermatologist.
