First of all it’s important to understand the reason for hair loss in

 Various
studies have shown that hair loss from a particular area of the head can
indicate a person’s cardiac health. For instance, a study showed that
those men who lost hair from frontal part of their head have 11% risk of
heart disease. Similarly, those who lost hair from the center have 23%
risk of heart disease. Although, these are not established facts, yet
ongoing researches are bringing out unbelievable results.

of your hair. Eat protein rich food like meat, fish etc. Vitamins B6 and
B12 prevent hair loss therefore try to incorporate it in your diet.
Secondly, regularly massage the scalp with good hair oil. This

and in working condition. Also ensure you exfoliate your scalp
regularly, maybe once every week. This will remove dead skin and dirt
from the scalp thus cleaning the hair.

best shampoo for your hair and stick to it. Studies have shown that hair

longer hair than in short hair.
