Stop Hair Loss: Change These 6 Habits

The rainy season can make our hair wet and weaken the roots, leading to hair loss. Hair loss is a common problem during the monsoon season. With the onset of the monsoon, humidity levels in the air increase significantly. This humidity affects the weakest part of our hair, weakening its chemical structure. Hair absorbs hydrogen, which further weakens its structure. The outer layer of the hair (cuticle) swells and opens up. This process weakens the hair from within, causing it to break easily. As a result, while 50-100 hairs typically fall out daily, during the monsoon season, this number can increase to 250 or even more. Here are some ways to prevent it...

Method

Diet: Eat plenty of protein and green vegetables

Mediterranean Diet:

People who eat raw green vegetables (like basil or salad) and seafood at least 3 times a week have a lower risk of androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness).

Protein:

90% of hair is made up of protein. Keratin, a type of protein, is essential for strong hair roots. If your body is deficient in protein, hair loss is inevitable. Include lentils, peas, paneer, yogurt, and nuts in your diet.

Vitamin A:

Vitamin A naturally moisturizes your hair and is beneficial for hair health. However, excessive intake can have the opposite effect. Sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, and red bell peppers are rich in vitamin A.

Smoking and Hair Loss

Quit Smoking:

Smoking can disrupt the hair growth cycle. According to research, 47% of smokers had grade 3 hair loss and 24% had grade 4 hair loss. If you smoke, quit. Reduce stress as much as possible

Manage stress:

Constant stress increases the level of cortisol, a hormone in the body. This hormone disrupts the natural hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss. Therefore, keep your mind relaxed.

Exercise: Benefits of Yoga

Yoga:

When both body and mind are in harmony, yoga postures like forward bends, shoulder stands, and downward-facing dog increase blood circulation to the scalp. Ten minutes of deep breathing every day helps to balance stress hormones.
