But every problems do have a solution right? Let us get some tips from the best hair transplant clinic in Kolkata before it’s too late!

 

1. Lower the heat.

We understand that keeping your hair on point makes you stand out every time, be it in the parties or the office meetings, but you need to understand that regular usage of blow dryer, iron curler or flat iron straightener will dry out your hair, make it frizzy and prone to damage. So instead of using them regularly, try to use it as seldom as possible.

 

2. Shampoos!

No one likes a greasy or sticky hair but do you know that or scalp secrete natural oils to keep our hair follicles moist. Now using shampoos everyday will not only wash off the external oils and dirt but will also take out the natural oil from the scalp and dry it out which will result in dry hair and weak hair shaft.

So instead of using shampoos regularly, use every alternate days and go easy on your scalp.

 

3.  No brush on wet hair.

Most of us are not a very early riser and the busiest time of our schedule is when we get ready for our work. We forget to towel dry our hair and simply brush it off. THAT’S A BIG NO!

When your hair is wet the roots are the weakest at that time. Whenever you brush your hair you will definitely notice quite a number of hair strands in your brush/comb and which may eventually lead to hair loss and balding.

 

4. Increase Vitamin intake.

Like other nutrients Vitamins are one of the most important nutrients for luscious, voluminous and silky hair. Vitamins and minerals that are important for your hair growth are:

·        Vitamin A: found in sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, spinach, milk, eggs, and yogurt

·        B vitamins, especially biotin: found in egg yolk, liver, salmon, avocados, nuts and seeds, and dairy products

·        Vitamin C: good sources include citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers

·        Vitamin D: found in fatty fish, egg yolk, and fortified foods like milk and orange juice

·        Vitamin E: good sources include sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach, and avocados

·        Iron: found in oysters, clams, eggs, red meat, lentils, and spinach

·        Zinc: good sources include oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, and lentils

Not every time vitamin intakes from our food is enough so sometimes so multivitamins that consists vitamins and minerals are a good alternative.

 

5. Proteins are important.

Hair follicles are mainly made of proteins, so thinning and hair fall may be the reason of insufficient protein in your diet.

Protein rich food that will boost your hair growth are:

·       Eggs

·       Fish

·       Lean meat

·       Nuts

·       Beans

·       Spinaches and kales

 

6. Scalp Massage

Blood circulation in the helps in boosting the health and condition of the scalp which eventually indicates better hair growth. A study in 2016 shows that massaging your scalp for 4 minutes a day leads to thicker and faster hair growth.

You can massage your own scalp with your fingertips in a circular motion at any time of the day.

 

7. Egg yolk mask

The egg yolk consist the same proteins that are found in the hair follicles. Also a research in 2018 says Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Biotin and Folate are found in egg yolk which promotes hair growth.

Making an egg yolk mask can be done in the following method:

·       Use 3 egg yolks and 3–4 tbsp. of slightly warm coconut oil.

·       Mix the two ingredients together well.

·       Once the mixture is well-blended, apply to your scalp and roots.

·       Put a shower cap over your head once the mixture has been applied.

·       Let it sit on your head for 10–15 minutes.

8. Aloe Vera

Applying Aloe Vera on your scalp may help in promoting hair growth as it is rich in Vitamin A, C and E. Though the beneficiary result of topical application of Aloe Vera in the scalp is still unclear as there is no perfect evidence of Aloe Vera penetration the skin.

You can use pure Aloe Vera gel from plant or use any hair product with aloe vera in it.

 

9. T-shirt over Towel.

The terry-cloth towels that we use mostly can damage the hair due to the friction generated when rubbing the hair after shower. As mentioned before that the hair roots are in the weakest state when they are wet, so instead of terry cloth towel a micro fibre towel is much preferred to damp off the hair and get out the excess water instead of rubbing it.

Your T-shirt can be good alternative to the micro-fibre towels as the fabric are lighter and softer compared to the terry-cloth towels and will not damage the hair.

 

10. Hot-oil treatment

Treating your hair with hot oil is good way of restoring moisture to frizzy and damaged hair. A mixture of coconut and avocado oil is especially beneficial. According to a 2003 study, coconut oil has the ability to reduce protein loss in both damaged and undamaged hair.

 

11. End it with a cool note.

Everyone loves a nice hot shower but do you know that too much hot water is bad for your hair roots as well as the cuticles. Steam in the hot shower can open up the cuticle and let your hair become dry and frizzy and prone to breakage.

So instead of hot shower, lather up with lukewarm water and end it with spray of cold water in the scalp which will seal the cuticle and prevent the breakage of hair.

 

Taking care of hair is all about dedication, patience, perseverance and doing the right things. These tips from the best hair transplant clinic in Kolkata will help you in the long run.
