Hair loss in babies is completely normal, especially in the beginning few months. In a few cases, it could be caused by a medical condition. After your baby turns 6 months and is still experiencing hair fall, it's time to see a doctor.

Worried about thinning hair? Genetics and aging can play a part in determining hair growth. Hereditary pattern baldness, physical or psychological stress, sudden hormonal changes, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiencies, damaging hairstyles, scalp infections, alopecia areata, and certain medications may also hamper hair growth.

Untreated dandruff and an itchy scalp could indirectly be causing your hair loss. On the flip side, hair regrowing medication like minoxidil may cause you to get dandruff in the first place. Fixing your dandruff problem may even alleviate hair loss, so it may be time to get to the root of the matter!

A simple, natural hair-care routine is all you need for great hair. Avoid excessive brushing and shampooing. Oil your hair before a shampoo and swap hair-care and styling products for natural, chemical-free cleansers. A weekly deep conditioning treatment helps when hair is dry or damaged. Trim hair regularly and feed your hair by eating right!

Guava leaves can do wonders for your hair. Drink guava leaf tea or apply a decoction to your scalp to combat hair loss. A paste of guava and Ceylon olive leaves can also help tackle dandruff. Try a hair oil infused with guava leaves, curry leaves, and amla to counter premature graying.

Kalonji or black seed oil has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients which strengthen hair, help treat hair loss, and may prevent premature graying. It also fights the Malassezia fungus that causes dandruff and works as a hair conditioner as well. Apply the oil on your scalp and keep for 30 minutes 2–3 times a week before washing off or just massage a few drops in your hair after a wash.

To prevent hair breakage, avoid damaging hair treatments with harsh chemicals or heat. Refrain from over-combing, tying your hair too tightly, and combing wet hair. Coconut oil, argan oil, and cupuassu seed butter can reduce protein loss and strengthen hair. Applying a protein-rich egg or banana hair mask can help too. A beeswax, castor oil, and olive oil balm can be a quick fix to seal split ends.
