Hair loss is a common problem that increases in intensity with age. The reasons could be complicated and varied. If hair fall is severe, we highly recommend that you consult a trichologist, but you can try these simple home remedies to stop hair loss if it is not severe:

Coconut milk treatment
You will require 1 cup of coconut milk for this hair loss treatment.

• Make sure your hair is dry.
• Apply coconut milk over your scalp using a hair color brush.
• Roll your hair up and clip it. Cover your head with a shower cap or bath towel and leave it on for 30 minutes or until your scalp is evenly nourished.
• Then, remove the shower cap and rinse your hair with a mild shampoo.
• Washing your hair in warm or hot water would make your hair brittle and dry and increases hair loss. So, ensure that you wash your hair with cold water as it helps to soften your hair.

Why this works : Coconut milk is rich in potassium and vitamin E that help to moisturize your hair from deep within and promote hair growth. It has minerals and essential fats that can help in reducing the breakage of hair.

Onion juice treatment
The things required for this treatment are the juice from 1 onion and a cotton ball.

• Roughly chop one onion and grind it in a blender to extract its juice.
• Pour the juice in a bowl, dip the cotton ball into it, and use this to apply it evenly over your scalp. Ensure the hair stands are covered from the root to the tips.
• Leave it on for about 30 minutes.
• After this, you can rinse your hair in cold water with a mild shampoo.

Why this works : Onion has high sulfur content and antibacterial properties, which improve blood circulation and eliminate bacteria that cause scalp infection. It is proven that sulfur also treats infected hair follicles and reduces hair loss.

Egg white mask
The ingredients that you would need are 1 egg and 1 tsp of olive oil.

• Break the egg in a bowl without letting the yolk break, and separate the egg yolk from the whites.
• Beat the egg thoroughly until you get an even consistency.
• Slowly add in the olive oil and beat well to make a thick paste.
• Apply this all over your scalp using a hair color brush and leave it on for 20 minutes.
• Rinse off with cold water using a mild shampoo.

Why this works : Eggs contain essential nutrients, vitamin B, and protein, which help in optimum hair growth.

Potatoes treatment
You will require 1 potato, 1 tsp water, and 1 tsp honey for this treatment.

• Wash the potato thoroughly, peel off the skin, and chop it into small pieces.
• Use a blender to grind it into a fine paste, add water, and make a fine puree. Strain this puree using a muslin cloth.
• Take the juice in a bowl and mix honey into it.
• Apply the mixture to your scalp using a hair color brush and leave it on for 30 minutes.
• Wash it off with a mild shampoo using cold water.

Why this works : Potatoes are rich in iron, vitamin C, and potassium, which is vital to stopping hair loss.
