How to tackle hair fall



Jennifer Aniston is reportedly worried about her excessive hair fall and is undergoing scalp treatments to cure it. But you don't need to invest in expensive treatments to deal with hair fall. TOI lists some simple precautions to keep hair fall at bay...


  • Don't comb your hair when it is wet since this increases the chances of breakage. Wait for your tresses to dry before you brush them.
  • Be gentle while towel-drying your hair. Rubbing your hair vigorously can lead to unwanted breakage.
  • Use a wide-toothed comb since it gently detangles your hair and reduces the risk of breakage while combing.
  • Clean your hair brush and comb regularly. Dirt tends to collect on them, and this can also lead to hair fall.
  • Oil your hair regularly and indulge in a hot oil treatment once a week to keep your scalp healthy. This will keep you from losing hair.
  • Your shampoo may be harsh on your hair, so try switching to a more gentle shampoo. Chemicals can strip your scalp of its natural oil, leading to breakage.
  • Don't tie your hair tightly or style it often. Products can damage your hair and certain hairstyles can add a lot of strain to your roots. Also, avoid using elastic or rubber bands.
  • A balanced diet is key to healthy hair. Hair fall could be a sign that your body is not getting the nourishment it needs, so consume proteins and food rich in iron, zinc, vitamins A, B complex, C, E, and Omega-3 fatty acids.
