Catalysing these are lifestyle habits we women undertake due to busy home and working lives. As much as we love our body, skin, and hair, we have to admit, it is hard to take particular care towards our best interests.

In order to understand patterned baldness, women need to understand that one hair strand sits in a cavity on your scalp known as a follicle. This cavity sources nutrients to your hair for its constant and healthy growth. Baldness is the result of shrinking of a follicle that acts like a pore. The shrinking leads to shorter and thinner hair. Eventually lack of nutrition and irreversible damage to the follicle terminates growth of hair. Treatments with a dermatologist target this very knowledge, if the follicle is still alive, advancing growth can still be possible.

To boost the natural production of hair the body needs a diet that comprises of good proteins and minerals. Egg whites have proven to be rich in protein of course, but they also contain sulphur, selenium, iron and zinc which are more than essential to stimulate your hair follicles to keep up with the natural process of the hair growth cycle. You can mix egg whites with extra virgin olive oil, proven that is naturally nourishes your hair. Olive oil is a raw moisturiser boasting of high Vitamin E contents, used in many traditional cultures for total skin health.

Apply onion juice to your scalp weekly

The very idea of applying pungent juices to your head might be at first a very disgusting or cringing idea, but as they say, most remedies that work do not come in aroma friendly, good-looking packages. Those ones actually work for real though. Onions increase collagen content in your body that in turn helps production of healthy skin cells. This is because onions, packed with sulphur, stimulate the production of collagen. The lack of collagen in the body, results in loss of precious hair. Application of onion juice will open up the pores of your hair follicles resulting in healthy growth of hair.

Keep your diet very, very rich in proteins!

Your hair contains keratin, a protein that gives way to newer hair strands keeping them strong and long. A protein rich diet will ensure the simulation of keratin. Include eggs, lean white meat, soy, yogurt, curd, and loads of nuts in your grocery list. Mixing proteins with Vitamin C will prove to be a very good idea as, your body needs adequate proteins to absorb protein intake.

Include herbal juices to rinse you off toxins

Horsetail and liquorice roots act as anti-allergen and anti-inflammatory respectively. Stimulate the blood vessels present in your scalp causing anti-viral action to promote healthy growth of hair. Horsetail does it with its abundance in silica as well as aiding to repair damages or breakage, strengthening existing growth, giving it a shiny sheath. Mix horsetail or liquorice roots with water, apply, and leave for a minimum of an hour. A liquorice root prevents and reverses chemical damage of hair by treating dandruff and healing infections on the scalp.
