Hair Fall Tips
Hair fall can become a major concern during the summer months. The intense heat, sweat, dust, and increased sun exposure weaken the hair roots, making hair brittle and prone to falling. While salon treatments and expensive hair products promise results, natural remedies from your kitchen can be equally effective and without the harmful chemicals. Here are some tried-and-tested ways to control hair fall using everyday kitchen ingredients.
1. Coconut Oil and Curry Leaves
Coconut oil has been a traditional remedy for hair care in many cultures. Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, it deeply nourishes the scalp and strengthens hair roots. Adding curry leaves to warm coconut oil boosts its effectiveness. Curry leaves are rich in antioxidants and amino acids that help in hair growth and prevent hair thinning.
How to use:
Heat a handful of curry leaves in two tablespoons of coconut oil until the leaves turn black. Let it cool, strain the oil, and massage it into your scalp twice a week.
2. Onion Juice
Though the smell might be strong, onion juice is one of the most effective remedies for hair fall. It contains sulfur, which boosts collagen production and supports hair regrowth.
How to use:
Grate or blend one onion and squeeze out the juice. Apply it to the scalp using a cotton ball, leave it for 30 minutes, and then wash with a mild shampoo.
3. Fenugreek Seeds (Methi)
Fenugreek seeds are a rich source of protein and nicotinic acid both essential for strengthening hair shafts and promoting hair growth.
How to use:
Soak two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds overnight. In the morning, grind them into a paste and apply it to your scalp. Leave it on for 30 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water.
4. Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera has cooling properties, making it perfect for summer. It reduces scalp inflammation, moisturizes hair, and curbs hair fall.
How to use:
Extract fresh aloe vera gel and apply it directly to your scalp. Leave it for an hour before rinsing with a mild shampoo.
5. Yogurt and Honey Mask
This hydrating mask is excellent for dry and damaged hair caused by heat exposure. Yogurt provides protein, while honey locks in moisture.
How to use:
Mix two tablespoons of yogurt with one tablespoon of honey. Apply it from roots to tips and leave it on for 30–40 minutes before washing.
Final Tips
Drink plenty of water, eat seasonal fruits, and avoid excessive heat styling. Nature offers the best care right from your kitchen!
