Hair loss is something more noticeable in men but also affects women. Genetics might play a significant role in this but there are also several other factors that have to be taken into account like under-active thyroid glands, an imbalance in hormones, insufficient blood circulation to your scalp and nutrition deficiency.

Here are a few natural remedies which can help you in the fight against hair fall.

Stress affects your entire system and has a hand in increasing your hair fall too. Constant stress can result in a disproportionate number of hair strands from going into a resting phase simultaneously. This can lead to hair clumps falling off at the same time.

This can do wonders to your hair. Take a hand full of aloe vera gel and massage it well on your head so that it reaches your scalp. Let it stay on and wash with lukewarm water once dried. In combination with wheat germ oil and coconut milk aloe vera can work as a wonderful hair conditioner as well.
