Good vibes to you my beautiful readers! Today, I am going to share some tips on how you minimize hair-fall.
These past few months, I have been experiencing hair-fall. And since then, I became so desperate to look for solution on this matter. There are a lot of anti-hairfall products offered in the market and I have to admit that I am always tempted to buy those things. But considering that I am still a student, I have no budget to buy really expensive (and so-called "effective") shampoos. That is why I decided to try for affordable alternatives.
Anyway, before anything else, I want to clarify that, I am not an expert, everything that you will read below are solely based on what I read and experienced.
First things first, let us know what are the possible reasons why we have falling hair:
- Tension
- Too much work
- Illness
- Poor diet
- Over-exposure to the sun
- Perming
- Amateur bleaching
- Too frequent and inexpert use of tints, rinses or other colorants

As for me, I know that I am too stressed in reviewing. My course demands a lot of time and effort and the pressures and tensions are always there. I also have a very poor diet, most of the time I eat on fast food chains not because I don't know how to cook but because I have no time to cook. Time really matters nowadays. With a fast-pacing world, I really have to make everything fast and instant as possible or else everything will not be done on time. How about yours?
So here are the things that I have done to minimize hair fall:
1. Use a wide tooth comb. I prefer to use something like wooden-comb because from what I read, wooden comb has a lesser friction to hair. Friction makes the hair weak and break easily.
2. Try to have a short hair. This will help you minimize the tangles which will eventually help you minimize the hairfall. (this was suggested by Mr. Philip of David's Cut Salon)
3. Use Baking Soda as your clarifying shampoo. Replace your shampoo with a handful of baking soda. Baking soda is used in a wide variety of ways, and is reputed to work as a natural dandruff remover. Instead of shampooing, rub a heaping tablespoon of baking soda into your wet hair and scalp. Wash thoroughly after one minute. Dandruff is caused when your scalp sheds dead skin cells which can lead to hairfall.
4. Use Castor Oil. I really recommend this to you. I have been using this twice a week. It really works wonder. Although I have experience an itchy scalp while using this (just make sure not to scratch your scalp), I believe that I was itchy because some smaller (new born hair) hair are growing. Note: I also use this as eyelashes serum. :)
5. Lastly, if possible do not use elastic bands to tie your hair. instead use clips or hair band.
And that's all. Sleeping 8 hours daily, exercising, eating healthy and drinking lots of water is all up to you. This are steps known to you not only to prevent hairfall but also have a healthy body. But the 5 steps I have shared to you is something I did and was effective to me. Just remember : PATIENCE is a VIRTUE.
Good luck! God bless!
