Natural Supplements for Hair

Hair needs nourishment inside and outside, washing the hair and oiling it isn’t enough to keep it healthy, there are certain vitamins which are good for your hair such as Vitamin A that ensures a healthy production of sebum in the scalp, also Vitamin E is beneficial for a good blood circulation in the scalp that helps hair follicles to remain productive and lastly, Vitamin B helps hair maintain its healthy natural color.

Avoid Brushing Wet Hair

Hair is the most vulnerable and weak when it is wet, so always refrain from brushing it at that time because wet hair breaks off easily. Still, if there is an utmost need to comb or brush your hair while it’s wet then always use a very wide-toothed comb. Also, avoid brushing too much and use your fingers to undo tangles.

Avoid Using Artificial Heat

Let the hair dry naturally, in due course of time it is a much healthier choice.

In extreme weather, like too much heat or cold, it’s better to cover your hair with a scarf or a cap to avoid exposure to extreme climate which can weaken hair proteins and damage the roots and cause hair fall.

Avoid all Forms of Stress

Stress is a common cause for most of today’s health issues and it needs to be curbed at any cost, de-stressing is very important nowadays and the best way to do it is by practicing meditation. These alternative therapies such as meditation and yoga not only reduce stress but restores hormonal balance.

Other Activities to Curb Hair Loss

Apart from these exercising, taking some load off work, vacationing with friends and family, developing hobbies, music therapies and even reading have been proved to reduce stress levels to a significant amount. It’s important to understand which part of our lives is more important and giving more time to it before it’s too late.
