Causes and Guaranteed remedy for hairfall ,baldness,early greying, lice and dandruff

Dear Ilites,

These days maintaining our body and hair has become very important in order to look young, beautiful and healthy be it your working or a homemaker, each of us wants to look the best or atleast try . So decided to share with you all some more information on hair today which is suitable for all ages and for both men and women . :coffee

Most of us complain about hairfall, baldness, early greying, lice and dandruff. Well do we ever give it a thought as to what might have been the cause for all this , hmmm.... may be sometimes when its too late.

There are many reasons which causes dry, scanty or baldness and falling hair :
1. A lack of vitamin 'B' may result in grey hair at an early age and is the main cause for hair fall.
2. Baldness can be hereditary, infection of the scalp , lack of sufficient sunshine on the hair (some of us spend long hours in the AC) and sometimes an excessive activity of the oil glands associated with the hair.
3. When hair is unkempt it causes dandruff and lice. :eek

There are other reasons also for hairfall :

1. Hormonal changes post pregnancy. Which stops, once the mother stops breast-feeding ,when the baby is fit to be fed other food stuffs.
2. According to the various seasons of the year we experience hairfall just like animals.
3. Its normal for humans to loose 40-60 hair strands a day, but if its more than that say more than 100 then its not good.

Now coming to the remedy part , I prefer natural ingredients for my hair and I have and I am still following some of the simple and easy hair treatments, for dry, scanty, dandruff,greying and falling hair and it has been working wonders for my hair for the past 12 years (had started these methods in my teens) :

1. You should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables because vitamins are very important for hair too.
2. If you have no time or if you cant afford expensive hair treatments a simple way to condition and make your hair shiny is the Hot oil treatment . I have been doing this twice a week. Firstly, section hair and apply Olive oil ( you can suppliment it with coconut / castor oil / til / seaweed ) covering the enitre scalp. Massage gently in a circular motion , leave on over - night (if not you can wash after half an hour) and the next day, apply lime juice with the rind well on the scalp (do this if you have dandruff). Then wring out a towel in hot water and wrap on the head. Keep it on, replacing as soon as it cools off. Do this for about 15 mins. Then shampoo and dry well. This helps in counteracting dryness and prevents dandruff and falling hair by improving the circulation of blood and strengthening the hair roots.
3. Even hair washed with methi seed paste prevents falling of hair , baldness and dandruff, besides keeping the hair long, healthy and black. Coconut Oil in which methi seeds have been soaked becomes medicated and can be used as hair-oil for cooling the head.
4. To get rid of dandruff, apply lime-juice with the rind well on the scalp. After 5-10 mins wash off with shampoo. Do this twice a week.
5. Mix lemon juice in castor oil and beat till frothy. Add mehendi powder or paste to it. Apply the mixture evenly over the scalp, and wash hair after an hour using shikakai powder mixed in rice water (konji). This checks greying of hair.
6. For a natural hair wash method, take about 10-12 rithas and 3 -4 shikakai pods. Break and soak in a pint of water overnight. Next day, boil for a few minutes and strain. Use as normal shampoo. Separately soak 10-12 dried amlas in a halfcup of water overnight. Strain and use as a hair conditioner after your head bath. Leave it on the hair for 10 mins and rinse off with warm water ( not hot water). This will leave your hair smooth and shiny and also stop early greying of your hair.
7. To get rid of lice, apply a paste of dried and ground custard apple seeds and water to your hair. It is a sure and safe method and doesnt have any side effects. But take care that the paste doesnt get into your eyes.
8. Split ends of hair are so ugly and impossible to treat expect by cutting them off. However, there is a way to prevent them, if you regularly massage warm castor oil into your scalp and hair.
9. The best hair oil can be prepared at home. Take 1/2 litre of coconut oil, heat it, when its slightly warm, add a bunch of curry leaves and a handful of mehendi leaves to it. Leave until the oil gets the green colour and bottle it when cool. This oil helps to darken the hair and acts as a cooling agent.
10. If you have hibiscus plants at home, then grind the leaves from this plant and apply the paste to your hair leave it for 1-2 mins and then shampoo. Hibiscus is cooling and promotes hair growth.
11. Neem oil can be regularly applied on the bald patch caused by alopecia. Also, make a paste of three baby onions, three pepper grains and half teaspoon cooking salt and apply on the affected area.

12. This is another homemade hair oil method to improve hair condition :
The petals of the ordinary shoe flower (jabakusum) can be soaked in coconut oil and warmed either in sunlight or over a low fire. Strain and store in a bottle. Use it for the scalp regularly.
13. Eggs make an execellent conditioner for hair, but applying raw egg is a messy affair. Instead, break the eggs and dry them in sun. Powder and keep. Mix the egg powder with soapnuts and wash your hair.
14. You can even add egg white to the final shampoo water lathering it through your hair. This you will notice, will give a wonderful gloss to your hair. Rinse until there is no slipperiness whatsoever between your fingers and hair.

Please remember :

Never, use only hot water or only cold water on your hair.
The use of hot and cold water alternating quickly from one application to the other, is of great value as a tonic for both hair and scalp, as it accelerates the circulation of the blood in the parts so treated.

Amla,coconut milk and castor oil are cooling agents. Hence, people with a tendency to catch cold should go slow in trying these remedies.

When using egg, in order to avoid egg smell, you can avoid putting the yolk and use egg white.

Try any of these methods and give your views.

Hi Kalaipriya,

Thanks for correcting me. You have to apply lime juice with its rind on your scalp for dandruff and wash after 5 mins.
