Herbal cure for hair woes

NEETA’s Herbal offers a safe and natural solution to combat hair problems. A pioneer in Ayurvedic hair treatment, founder Neeta Gosalia introduced her corrective formulas after years of research.

There are many reasons for hair loss. Research has shown that stress is a vital factor in determinin­g hair condition.

A poor hair care regime, climate changes, lifestyle and diet are also contributi­ng factors.

Hair loss falls into two categories – distribute­d over the whole scalp or localised to certain areas of the scalp. Some cases of alopecia are caused by bacterial infection or other pathogens, while others may be attributed to severe systemic disease.

Other hair and scalp problems include alopecia areata, dandruff, rashes, itchiness, pimplelike protrusion­s (sometimes filled with pus), dry and brittle hair, premature greying, patchy baldness and male pattern hair fall.

Dry, brittle hair with split ends can be due to frequent perming, straighten­ing and excessive use of a hair dryer.

Do not cover damp hair because when the scalp sweats, the dampness will not only cause bad odour but also attract fungi and bacteria. This may contribute to hair loss, dandruff and other scalp conditions.

Washing hair three times a week is sufficient for this hot and humid climate, but some may need to wash daily using a mild shampoo. Use a conditione­r to replace moisture loss.

In some cases, hair loss appears to be common among male family members. Such genetic disorders may be addressed depending on severity and whether the pores can still be activated.

For premature greying, treatment should be done from the onset. Refrain from pulling out grey strands as forceful removal seems to cause a chain reaction with other hair follicles, causing increased production of depigmente­d hair. Frequent changing of shampoos, which are mostly detergentb­ased, should also be avoided
