3 Natural Tips To Prevent Hair Fall

Every second person you meet today is struggling with hair loss.

Hair fall, thinning strands, unhealthy scalp—there are many visible signs, and even more hidden reasons behind this growing concern.

From pollution, stress, excessive smoking, and hormonal imbalances, to nutritional deficiencies, genetics, harsh hair products, scalp infections, and underlying medical conditions like thyroid disorders, PCOS, autoimmune issues, iron-deficiency anemia, and chronic illnesses—each plays a role in damaging hair health.

The hair growth cycle is simple yet sensitive.
Hair falls naturally and regrows from the same follicle. Trouble begins when new hair doesn’t replace the lost one. Over time, this leads to thinning and even baldness.

This cycle continues smoothly only when:

• Your exposure to stress and pollution is minimal.

• You meet your body’s daily requirement of vitamins, minerals, and protein.

• You follow a healthy, consistent hair care routine.

Unfortunately, dandruff is another silent culprit that weakens the scalp and increases hair fall.

In a small survey, only 5 out of 20 people reported oiling their hair regularly. While oiling isn’t the only solution, it highlights how little we care for our scalp externally.

Healthy hair begins from within.
Prioritize protein, iron, zinc, biotin, and other hair-friendly nutrients. A balanced diet, mindful lifestyle, and proper hair care can help restore strength and shine to your tresses.

DHT and Hair Loss: What You Need to Know

Not many people are aware of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)—yet it is one of the leading causes of hair loss in both men and women.

So, what is DHT?
DHT is a hormone formed when the enzyme 5-alpha reductase converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. This hormone binds to hair follicles and gradually shrinks them, making it harder for new hair to grow. Over time, this results in thinning hair and eventually bald patches.

Do you relate to any of these?

• “My hair is falling out more than usual.”

• “My hair has become too thin.”

• “I’m losing hair day by day.”

• “My hair doesn’t feel as healthy as it used to.”

If yes, you’re not alone. These are common concerns I hear often—sometimes even repeatedly from the same person!

I remember a friend who brought up her hair fall issues at every gathering. Although she was quite selective and fussy about remedies, I finally shared a few simple lifestyle tips and home remedies that worked wonders for her. She was surprised by the results—and stopped cribbing altogether!

How to Combat Hair Loss Naturally

Let’s look at effective ways you can take care of your hair even in today’s stressful and polluted environment.

1. Home Remedies for Hair Loss

• Aloe Vera Gel: Helps reduce scalp inflammation and restores pH balance. Apply fresh aloe gel to your scalp, leave it for 30 minutes, and wash.

• Onion Juice: Rich in sulfur, boosts blood circulation to the scalp. Extract onion juice, apply for 20–30 mins, and rinse with mild shampoo.

• Methi (Fenugreek) Paste: Soak overnight, grind into a paste, and apply. Helps strengthen hair roots.

• Coconut Oil with Curry Leaves: Boil curry leaves in coconut oil, cool it down, and apply to scalp. This nourishes and promotes regrowth.

• Green Tea Rinse: Acts as a natural DHT blocker. Brew green tea, cool it, and use as a final rinse after shampooing.

2. Lifestyle Tweaks to Reduce DHT Impact

• Avoid processed foods & excess sugar—they can spike inflammation and hormonal imbalance.

• Increase zinc, biotin, vitamin D, iron, and omega-3 intake—they support hair follicle health.

• Reduce stress—practice yoga, deep breathing, or meditation.

• Sleep 7–8 hours daily—sleep disruption can worsen hormonal imbalances.

• Exercise regularly—it improves blood circulation to the scalp.

• B vitamins: The B complex vitamins help your body to produce melanin, which gives hair its healthy color. Melanin also stimulates blood circulation.
• Increase your protein Intake: Protein plays a very important role to prevent hair loss. It gives strength to the hair. Eating lean meats, fish, soy, or other proteins may help to curb hair loss. Besides containing protein, many foods rich in protein also contain Vitamin B-12.

3. Reduce Stress:

Stress in the body aggravates your hair loss. So it is recommend to reduce your stress level by indulging in something you like or love. It might be just listening to music, a walk to the temple or garden, Chatting with your friends or relatives, Watching your favourite movie or episode or just lying on your bed.
