Hair loss can be quite an emotionally draining experience. To suddenly notice a loss of a substantial amount of hair from your head can be quite an alarming condition for some people. This condition can be more disturbing for relatively young people as this problem, more often than not, is considered a sign of aging. The normal cycle of hair growth will last for a period of anywhere between 2 to 6 years during which each strand will grow at an average of a centimeter a month, this process is slightly faster in the summer and slower in the winter. Each strand of hair is divided into two distinct parts, the majority being in the actively growing phase while around 10% of each strand being in the resting phase. While it is well known that we shed hair on a daily basis, an exact count is unknown. The only diagnoses most studies have shown with regards to hair loss are that they are quite distinct to each particular individual. To elaborate, the reasons and rate for shedding of hair will be completely unrelated to each other. This is due to a number of variables in their health care routines, dietary habits as well as something as basic as genes. These variables will include aspects like intake of essential nutrients like iron, iodine and B vitamins as well as factors like conditioner used, frequency of use, overall treatment of hair and overall body health.

To make sure you are taking the best natural care of your health your could try a number of home remedies that have stood the test of time and have proven to be highly effective despite the highly advertised commercially available alternatives. Indian gooseberry is highly renowned for its hair regenerating and healing properties. Dry a few pieces in the sun and mix it with a bit of coconut oil. Let the mixture soak for a couple of hours after which you must boil them together until all that remains is a black residue. Apply this residue over your hair regularly everyday. You could also try soaking a few fenugreek seeds in a pot of water and massage it onto your scalp. Then wrap a cloth around the head and leave it for 3 hours. Follow this routine for a month to get the best results. Adding a teaspoon of mustard seeds to a cup of boiling water and letting it cool after being cooked will help reduce hair loss when drunk.
