  • Regular oiling helps in the blood circulation of the scalp and nourishes the roots.
  • Washing your hair twice a week with a good shampoo and conditioner can also improve your hair fall.
  • Practise yoga and meditation to control your stress, which is the greatest enemy of hair fall.
  • Get regular medical examinations to check your hormonal profile and nutritional deficiencies that cause hair fall.
