You will find that your hair, your skin and your general health, all depend on the food that you eat. If you eat food that contains a large quantity of spices and is very rich and oily, then your skin will show the evidence in the form of pimples and acne. Similarly, if your diet does not include the requisite amount of nutrients, this will be reflected in your hair. Your hair will look dull and lifeless. Aloe Vera is a very effective plant product. This can be consumed and also applied externally. You can buy Aloe Vera juice which is easily available in the market these days. Drink two tablespoons of this every morning on an empty stomach. You will notice that your hair fall is significantly reduced over a period of time. You can also apply Aloe Vera to your hair. You can cut open a leaf of Aloe Vera. The transparent gel that you find inside the leaf can be used to apply on your hair.

Indian gooseberry is another natural product that can be consumed and applied on your hair. Indian gooseberry can be consumed in a variety of ways. You can either eat a preserve made of Indian gooseberry or else you can drink gooseberry juice. This should be drunk on an empty stomach regularly. This will ensure that white or gray hair disappears and are replaced with healthy hair. Indian gooseberry is available as dried pieces. These pieces can be soaked in hot water overnight. In the morning the pieces of boiled gooseberry can be mashed and then strained. The liquid that remains can be a really effective rinse for your hair. Powdered Indian gooseberry can also be used. Add three tablespoons of the powder to a cup of water. Boil this well and then leave overnight. In the morning you can apply this paste to your hair. You can wash this off after an hour.

Including fresh green leafy vegetables will help your hair look healthy. You should also eat plenty of fish since this helps in keeping your hair looking healthy. The lack of essential fatty acids in the body can cause your hair to look dry. This can also lead to hair loss. Consumption of collard greens, avocados, sesame seeds and flax seed oil will help balance the lack of the essential fatty acids in your body. The lack of iron in the body also results in regular hair loss. Due to this your hair thins over a long period of time and looks sparse. You can make up for the lack of sufficient iron in your body by eating foods that are rich in iron like meat and spinach.
