A lack of an entire year of hair care and now I am sporting a shoulder length hair which I can not tie neither can I flaunt because it frizzes out crazily! And, facing a major amount of hair fall.
How much hair fall can be called a hair fall problem?
May be you have thyroid or diabetes or anything else?
Do you have fine hair?
Ok, this is a sad news for all those fine hair owners. Fine hair is more prone to hair fall than the thick hair counterparts. Now, I am not sure if it is because of the breakage or weak roots, both of which mean weak hair.

Improper Diet
Also, lack of protein causes the hair to lose volume and become lanky. Lack of water makes hair lose all the shine and bounce. So, ultimately, it is the food which makes our hair look amazing. So, get your diet to include some eggs, green leafy veggies and fruits. Basically, eat everything and make your plate as colourful as possible!
So, this was just a basic round up of all the reason which might cause severe hair fall. Let us discuss more about them some other time. What all other reasons will you attribute to hair fall? Do add your comments 🙂

https://swathyandsky.com/2014/02/onion-juice-for-hair-growth-updates.html
it is a home remedy and every one reacts differently to each remedy. I would suggest to use this remedy for at least 1 month to see a difference.

Hi Swati, just read this post as it was linked to the current one. I faced major hair-fall around 6-8 months back and in my case it was caused by a stressful event in my life. It’s said that hairfall can occur around 6 weeks-3 months after the event. Regarding what excess hairfall means, I think it really varies from person to person, most commonly what I see written everywhere is 50-100 hairs/ day. But each person should figure out what is normal hair-fall for them, could be 10 or 100 hairs. This is what I suggest to actually measure rather than eyeball the amount. Tie hair in a ponytail, for short/ layered hair, tie it at whichever point on your head you can get the maximum amount of hair in. Then take a measuring tape and measure the circumference of the hair just behind the ponytail elastic. Hair should be clean and dry as oiled/wet hair compresses. This way you will have a baseline of your hair thickness and if measured regularly, you will know when there is a drastic change. Hope this helps.
Swati says
aaah…yup, a stressful event can show effects even after 6 months!! yup, measuring the circumference is a good way to keep an idea of the hair density. and, yes, the amount of hair fall is actually dependent on the person and also varies greatly depending on lifestyle and other conditions.
