Hair fall is a phenomenon almost everyone faces in some point of life, irrespective of gender or age.

Excluding the very few lucky ones, most people experience hair fall in either mild or extreme forms.

A lot of factors lead to this. Heredity is considered one of the most prominent causes. Health conditions
like hormonal imbalance, thyroid diseases, aging, certain types of medications and iron deficiency
anaemia may often lead to hair loss. Other than medical reasons, lifestyle choice, emotional stress or
trauma are also identified as some leading factors.

While there are thousands of brands out there with their attractive chemical treatments, nothing can
beat the magic of natural and DIY home remedies for hair fall.

Massaging the scalp with your regular coconut oil can do wonders in restoring hair growth. Aloe vera is a
key component in controlling hair fall. It can be directly rubbed on the scalp or used to make hair masks.
You can use aloe vera gel, yoghurt, honey and olive oil to make a regular-use mask. Egg masks made of
egg, milk, lemon juice and olive oil can be an excellent choice. Eggs are enriched with proteins and
vitamins and are great for hair growth.

Our good old friend banana is a hair fall saviour too as it is rich in potassium, antioxidants, natural oils,
and vitamins. Mix ripe bananas, honey, coconut and olive oil and be witness to the tremendous results
yourself. Curry leaves not only spice up your food but when mixed with coconut oil, can be an excellent
hair fall remedy. The leaves stimulate hair growth and the coconut oil's penetrative properties enhances
the mask's function. The curry leaves should be heated in coconut oil. Apply the oil once it has reached a
warm temperature.
