Many people are distressed by the fact that they are losing hair. However, they have to know that hair loss is generally genetic. Men and women tend to start losing hair after they reach their 40s. The amount of hair lost is going to depend on their general health, stress, and even on the rise and fall of the different hormonal levels in their body.

Your diet is also going to determine your hair loss. Those who have not been eating foods rich in proteins, carbohydrates, low fats, minerals and vitamins are going to be more heavily affected. This is also applicable to the people who have been going on crash diets where they have been starving their bodies.

First of all, make sure that your hair dries naturally after you have washed it. You should not blow dry it. Hair that is too dry does not have a lot of strength. Also make sure that you do not use very hot water or very cold water when you wash your hair.

Coconut oil or jojoba oil massaged into your hair regularly is going to keep it really healthy. You might also want to use yam root, saw Palmetto, Wolf berry and stinging nettle to keep your hair healthy. Hair loss cannot be reversed overnight. That is why you have to be extremely patient. So continue taking your hair loss remedy regularly and you are soon going to see the beneficial results. You can also keep your hair shiny with a really healthy protein rich diet. Also, make sure that you do not get stressed out.

You should also make sure that your food is full of vitamins of the B group. Any B complex deprivation is going to have a negative effect on your hair. The frequent exposure to the sun is also going to affect negatively your skin or your hair. The harmful rays are going to make your hair brittle and dry.

Under normal circumstances you are going to lose about 100 hairs per day. But if you find your hair loss to be greater, you need to increase your vitamin intake and massage your hair with coconut oil. You should also add fish oil to your diet to keep your hair healthy.
