- Prevent hair loss |

Falling
of hair is a normal process. Hair drops out because
a new one has developed and grown underneath it. A healthy
adult may shed between 50 to 100 hairs in each day.
Excessive hair loss may be due to various reasons such
as pregnancy, anemia, circulatory problems, thyroid
disorders and hormonal problems. Mental disturbance,
stress or strain are also sometime cause hair fall as
the people suffering from mental strain often found
short of vitamin B.
A good balanced diet is essential for healthy hair.
High protein diets especially those containing gelatin
and cysteine resulting increased growth of hair. Lacks
of fatty acids, iron deficiency, zinc deficiencies are

Massage
the scalp
every day 10- 15 minute with your finger tips so as
to reach every root of the hair is important for healthy
hair. Very few of us know that we have with us a natural
hair tonic hidden at the root of our hair. It is the
tiny bulb at the root of hair known as papilla. Papilla
provides nourishment to each hair by secreting a greasy
substance. While massaging, this nourishing grease spread
all over the hair and also increases blood circulation.
Then brushes the hair and this also further spread nourishing
grease and cleanse the dirt and dust from hair. Do not
wash immediately after massage as massage stimulates
blood vessels and warms up the area and need cooling
for one hour. For extremely dry hair, massage with warm
olive oil is beneficial. Massaging after adding one
vitamin E capsules in coconut oil also reported better
result. Avoid vigorous massage after oiling as this
may cause weakening the Papilla.
