It’s not uncommon these days to find a 20-something with less than normal hair on their scalp. In fact, no matter who you talk to – your BFF or that odd colleague – you’ll find everyone complaining of hair fall. No doubt several factors can be accountable for your particular case, but preventing or even reducing hair fall is all too easy (1). And if you don’t try the super simple hacks we’ve mentioned below, your hair fall can all too soon turn into hair loss. So, try these tips and tricks to save your precious tresses!

1. Slow Down With The Comb

The sight of a comb covered with hair is a sad one, isn’t it? Well, you’re to blame for it! When combing your hair, go slowly and gently. Combing roughly, especially when there are knots and tangles, can damage your hair and lead to breakage as well as hair fall. This gets even worse when you do it on wet hair! So, make sure you use a wide tooth comb and go easy on your tresses.

2. Use The Right Hair Products

More often than not, the hair products you use are the ones to blame for your hair fall (2). Hence, it is important you use the right products and avoid those that contain a lot of chemicals. Ayurvedic products are the right choice in this regard as they are a 100% natural and do not carry any side effects.

And one of the best products on the market currently is Indulekha Bringha Hair Oil! This Ayurvedic medicinal oil is an elixir that regrows one’s hair and fights hair loss. It’s not a typical hair oil but an ayurvedic medicine which has been specially formulated for scalp skin conditions like hair loss and dandruff ( Classified as Keesapatha and Darunaka in Ayurveda).

Its unique, 100% natural formula consists of bringharaj (an esteemed plant, hailed as the ‘king of hair’ in Ayurveda), svetakutaja, amla, and virgin coconut oil, which boosts hair growth, strengthen hair roots, and prevent premature greying, leaving you with perfectly soft and shiny tresses!

Additionally, this Ayurvedic hair superhero comes with a one of a kind ‘selfie comb’ – a comb which has been designed like a needle with hole at the end for easy application. It allows the oil to penetrate the scalp every time and nourish scalp in the most effective way. Also no fuss or messy hands. Oh, and did I mention it smells amazing?

3. Avoid Vigorous Towel Drying

Just like being rough with a comb means more hair in your hands than you’d like, so does towel drying your hair vigorously. Wet hair is particularly prone to breakage. So, you cause a lot of calamity by rubbing your towel too hard on it. Instead of doing that, wrap the towel around your tresses and squeeze the extra water out to prevent any sort of damage.

4. Go For Loose Hairstyles

Ever heard of traction alopecia? It is a type of hair loss that’s caused by tight hairstyles (3)! The force applied to your hair in tight hairstyles can weaken your roots and lead to hair loss. So, if you want to flaunt your luscious locks for as long as you can, avoid going for tight buns, ponytails, pigtails or braids. The looser the hairdo, the better for your hair!

5. Opt For Steam Therapy

Fancy hair spas and treatments may seem like an attractive option, but sometimes they can do more bad than good due to the chemicals used. Add to it the fact that they are really expensive, and suddenly it may not seem all that attractive after all. So, to pamper your tresses, and to let them heal and get stronger, go for a DIY steam therapy.

Just dip a clean hair towel in warm water, squeeze out the excess, and wrap it around your hair. Let it stay till the towel becomes cool and then gently unwrap the towel. Doing this promotes blood flow to your scalp, which helps promote hair growth.

6. And Reduce Product Buildup In Hair

Always, always, always rinse your hair thoroughly once you’re done shampooing and conditioning your hair. Not doing so can lead to the accumulation of product buildup in your hair, which can clog your roots. This, in turn, can lead to excess sebum production (read: natural oils produced by the scalp), which then stunts growth. So, make sure you wash your hair properly in cold water.

7. Cut Down On Junk Food

Your fast and busy life may prompt you to head straight to takeaway restaurants, but it’s better you cook in your kitchen – at least for your hair. Greasy foods can harm your hair health as they deprive your body of the essential vitamins, nutrients, and minerals it needs to function properly. Besides, increased sugar intake has also been linked to hair loss, so you might want to steer clear of unhealthy food items (4).

8. Trim Your Hair Regularly

Hair that hasn’t been trimmed for a while can develop split ends. Split ends get your hair into a tangled mess pretty easily and consequently cause excess hair fall when you try to detangle your tresses. Besides, split ends are a sign of damaged hair, and while there’s no cure for them, regular trimming can definitely help prevent their recurrence. Trimming once every 2 months is ideal.

Hair fall is completely reversible, but hair loss is not. So, before it gets too late, make sure you follow the above tricks to have hair that you can fall in love with all over again!
