Baldness in a 20 year old girl is not common; this can be due to some prolonged illness, changes in the hormonal pattern, alopecia areata, pregnancy or lactation. It is important to know the exact cause for losing hair because this should be corrected at your young age. Try the following home remedies for dandruff and baldness -

  • Massage your scalp with aloe vera gel or fresh coconut milk and leave it for 30 minutes before washing the hair with warm water. Repeat this every alternate day for best results. Aloe vera gel will not only help to prevent hair fall and baldness but will also help in the treatment of dandruff.
  • Mix equal amounts of castor oil and almond oil and store it in a bottle. When you want a hair massage, warm this oil mixture and use it for massage. Both these oils will promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss.
  • Mix Indian gooseberry or Indian gooseberry powder with one egg to get a foamy mixture. Apply this mixture on the scalp and wash it off after 30 minutes. This is also an effective remedy for hair loss.
  • To prevent dandruff make the last rinse with apple cider vinegar when you wash your hair.
  • To prevent both dandruff and hair fall mash some beetroot leaves in heena paste and apply it on the scalp and hair.
  • Beat 2 eggs till foamy and add 2 tablespoon of water to it. On wet hair apply this egg mixture. Massage gently and let the mixture remain on the scalp for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water, use a mild shampoo if you can not stand the smell of the egg or make the last rinse with vinegar to get rid of the egg smell. This remedy will take care of both dandruff and hair fall.
