Herbal remedy for hair loss

NEETA’S Herbal offers a safe and natural solution for hair problems.

A pioneer in Ayurvedic hair treatment, Neeta Gosalia introduced her corrective formulas after years of research.

There are many reasons a person may start losing hair.

Research has shown that stress is a vital factor in determinin­g hair condition.

A poor hair care regime, climate changes, lifestyle and diet also contribute to the loss of hair.

Hair loss, or alopecia, falls into two categories – distribute­d over the whole scalp or localised to certain areas of the scalp.

Some cases of alopecia are caused by infection of bacteria or other pathogens, while others may be attributed to severe systemic disease.

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

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

Avoid covering damp hair because when the scalp sweats, the dampness will not only cause a 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 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.

A thorough consultati­on will provide a clear treatment path that is suitable for the existing disorder.

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 on other hair follicles, causing increased production of de-pigmented hair.

Frequent changing of shampoos, which are mostly detergent-based, should also be avoided.
