The causes of hair loss are many — including genetics, age, hormones, nutrient deficiencies, toxicity, medications, and autoimmunity — changing your diet can, in many cases, be helpful. "Proper diet and can slow or reverse hair loss, and make the hair thicker and healthier.
Sometimes a mineral deficiency is the cause of hair loss. "It's important to make sure you don't have a lack of something in your diet that could be leading to hair loss,"
You can include green vegetables and fresh fruit in your diet
And it is important to have a protein rich diet like include more pulses and milk products.

Hello,
There are a number of factors that cause hairfall including certain medical conditions, medications, stress, inadequate intake of nutrients etc. Hair hygiene is also of utmost importance. It is possible to correct and prevent hairloss but it needs proper evaluation of the cause. Connect with us through a personalized session as it will allow us to discuss your lifestyle, routine, sleep pattern etc as it will help us in understanding and analyzing the gap areas and guiding you accordingly.
As a start you can make the following changes -
1. Have balanced meals in terms of carbohydrates, proteins and fats
2. Incorporate protein in every meal. Protein rich foods are milk, curd, paneer, eggs, chicken, fish, dals, sprouts, pulses etc.
3. Have healthy fats in the form of almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds & pumpkin seeds as they are rich in vitamin E and omega 3 fatty acids. Vitamin E improves hair growth.
4. Eggs are a great source of protein and biotin, two nutrients that help promote hair growth
5. Ensure sound sleep of 7 hours daily.
6. Avoid stress and perform deep breathing exercises or meditation to destress
7. Exercise daily
Hair care is also important when it comes to dandruff.
