How to prevent hair loss naturally

1) Healthy diet. 

Hair loss can be caused or aggravated by poor diet. Be sure to eat various foods made from basic foods. Involve lots of whole grains, vegetables, and quality of protein such as beans, fish, and lean poultry. Eat nuts, seeds, and avocados for vitamin E, a nutrient that keeps the scalp in good condition.

2) Reduce body fat. 
Excessive body fat can cause higher androgen levels, which are related to hair loss. Getting your body fat below 28 percent will reduce androgen and insulin production and result in less hair thinning and loss. Reducing body fat will also make your energy level soar.

3) Drink plenty of water daily. 
Drink at least 4 to 8 cups of water a day to stay hydrated and grow healthy hair.

4) Adopting healthy lifestyle.
Regular exercise and healthy sleep habits will increase circulatory and overall health, promoting healthy hair.

5) Wash your hair with Herbal Shampoo. 
Start using natural and organic shampoo or conditioner. Reduce the frequency of chemical treatment on your hair. Don’t use hot water and hairdryers or curling irons anytime you can.
   
6) Don’t smoke. 
Based on one report, people who smoke have been four times more prone to have grey hair than non-smokers and were more at risk of hair loss.

7) Manage stress. 
Stress one amongst the most well-known external cause of hair loss. So to prevent hair loss you need to try to control your stress. In case you experience so much stress that your hair is falling out, you might need a specialist to help you to handle your stress.
