In order to have healthy hair and avoid hair loss, we need to ensure that we are getting enough of the right nutrients in our diets.

Hair loss occurs when the body is not getting the proper nutrients that are lost regularly each day, which may not be replaced easily.

At Beijing 101, they provide premium-grade Chinese herbs in the hair treatments to address hair loss issues, but for those who would like to go the Do-It-Yourself route, it is also possible to try out home remedies for hair treatment that have supposedly worked for some.

1. Scalp massage

Massaging your scalp is important as it can control hair loss by helping the absorption of more nutrients into the hair follicles.

Massaging the scalp also enhances blood flow to the hair follicles and it helps to condition the scalp, strengthening the hair roots.

Scalp massage helps to de-stress, which is one of the prominent factors in hair fall.

It also feels good if you have someone else do it for you

2. Wrap wet hair dry

Instead of rubbing your hair dry, try wrapping hair, especially those that have been damaged, in a cotton towel.

By letting the cotton absorb the moisture for a few minutes, it helps protect against further split ends.

Also, avoid rubbing your hair dry and also avoid combing wet hair. Brushing is one of the roughest actions you can do to your hair, especially if it is long and tangles. When your hair is weakened, it’s more prone to breakage.

3. Consume omega-3s

Besides avoiding junk food that lead to nutritional deficiencies, try being more proactive in your diet by taking supplements.

Omega-3 fatty acids are easily found in fish such as salmon, sardines and tuna.

Or you can take one to three 250-milligram capsules of borage oil, evening primrose oil, or flaxseed oil one to three times a day.

Oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids like gamma-linolenic acid are great for keeping hair moisturised.

4. Exercise

Daily exercise can help promote hair growth as it improves metabolism. This allows better absorption of nutrients into your body over time. Exercise also helps to reduce stress. It releases hormones which directly help in hair growth.

5. Sandalwood oil

If consuming products doesn’t sound palatable for you, you can also mix a few drops of sandalwood oil with a few drops of olive or jojoba oil and rub the mixture through the ends of your hair as a way to curb and condition brittle, flyaway hair.

6. Egg shampoo

This might sound funny, but the protein and lecithin in an egg when you mix it with a small amount of shampoo can help your hair.

During bath time, combine both ingredients and apply mixture to your damaged hair for five minutes and rinse well. This treatment helps to enhance the protein in your hair.
