A lustrous mane is nothing less a gem-studded on your head. We all dream of having a head full of strong and shiny hair. But there is a huge hurdle which stands in between you and the hair of your dream, and i.e. hair fall.
Hair loss is a common problem and could be the result of one of the factors such as aging, hereditary factors, environmental effects, nutritional deficiencies, excess stress, scalp infections, hormonal imbalance, enriched hair products, certain medicines, and medical conditions such as autoimmune diseases, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid, iron deficiency and some other chronic illness.
There are approximately 100,000 hair strands on the scalp of an average human being and losing up to 100 strands on a daily basis. But if you are losing anything more than that, it is time for you to get in charge or soon you might be noticing bald spots. There are a number of home remedies which can easily be used for treating hair loss without investing too much money or time.

conditions the scalp and strengthen the roots. It also makes you feel relaxed
and reduces stress. You can also use any oil you prefer such as coconut,
almond, castor, olive, avocado, argan or any other oil of your choice.

nourishing and hair growth properties. It is rich in vitamin C, the deficiency
of which may also be the cause of hair fall. The antioxidant, exfoliating and
anti-inflammatory properties of gooseberry help promote hair growth and a
healthy scalp. Combine 1 tbsp. of gooseberry powder or pulp with 1 tbsp. of
lemon juice. Massage this mixture onto your scalp and cover it with a shower
cap. Leave this mask overnight and then wash your hair the next day with a mild
shampoo.

nature of aloe vera helps with maintaining the required pH level of the scalp

such as itchy scalp, scalp inflammation and irritation, reduces dandruff and add luster
and strength to the hair. You can either use aloe vera juice or aloe vera pulp,
whichever available. Massage the aloe vera on your scalp and leave it on for an
hour or two. Wash your hair with lukewarm water and make sure to repeat this
remedy for 3-4 times a week.
