Question

Dear Lybrate-User, Hair fall/growth pattern is at times dominated by family history, so it may be possible that hair loss is acquired from the parent. Though we cannot rule out the contribution of this cause yet the cure is available. For hair growth to begin there must be healthy hair follicle and healthy papilla to feed it. Because new follicles are not formed after birth, any improvement in hair growth has to be aimed at existing follicle one could either improve the quality of hair already being produced or incite new growth in the dormant follicle. The skin being the soil, we cannot expect to change the quality of hair permanently by applying cosmetic products superficially. Stimulation has to come from within the body and the answer is to provide the right condition for the hair to grow. Regarding initiating growth in the dormant follicle again the prerequisite is an impetus to the cells which come from nourishment provided by the papilla. But both the follicle and the papilla live under the surface of the skin. There is a chance of improving blood circulation to the scalp by proper massage. This would help as an added measure, but on its own, it is hardly capable of initiating new growth. Hair growth is not a continuous process. It takes place according to set pattern. Each follicle takes its turn to produce a hair. Our follicles are very disciplined and perform their duties with precision and punctuality so that growth takes place in the definite stage of a growth Some measures for hair growth that can be taken are: 1.Use the right kind of oil. 2.Address the root cause of Hair Fall for long lasting results. Root cause lives in the roots itself. 3.Eat more green leafy vegetable as they are rich in fibers and prevent hair fall. Also consume milk, butter, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-C. Food like - sprouts, whole grain, etc. Wheat provides essential nutrients your hair needs to grow. 4.Conventional Ayurveda treatment for Hair Loss has wide acceptance for its zero side effect and long lasting results. 5.Improve general health with good nourishing diet. 6.Quiet relaxing holiday is very beneficial. 7.Avoid repeated & too frequent combing and shampooing. 8.Light massage with warm oil. You can also use Valeda Herbal Oat Protein Hair tonic with Valeda Herbal Jaborandi Extra Nourishing hair oil to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. Warm the oil and use the combination regularly with frequent combing with neem wood comb to ensure good circulation and very light massage. You can also avail personalized consultation so that I can suggest hair growth promoting diet and supporting medicines on the basis of your case since it involves the possibility of hereditary factors.
