Taking care of hair

[Guest singh514]

Sangat Ji I am a young sikh and have been experiencing some hair loss issues. I was wondering what i could do to take care of my hair. Also do sikhs use hair products to take care of their hair?

Thank you for your replies

Sometimes, because of the timing due to needing to be approved, guest posts get slightly lost. When you get the free membership it works best. 

I'm low on time and no hair expert, but you could start here while waiting on other responses.

Yeah I'm 25 but a lot of my hair falls out and its gotten a lot worse recently. When I brush my hair a lot falls out. But my diet isn't good either, I stopped eating meat about 2 years ago and since then have started eating a lot of crisp, sweets chocolates. I need to cut down on  the fizzy drinks too   but recently started cutting down and started eating fruit and vegetables which I never used to eat before. 

Try using oils like black castor oil.

I wonder if my GP would let me Take a blood test

@puzzled yeah diet plays a part but for the most part i eat clean and about 3-4 eggs a week. sorry i am not a baptised sikh. I have taken a blood test but there doesnt seem to be anything wrong. i will look into black castor oil. thanks

iron stores being low can affect hair

B vitamins low or C vitamins means follicles become loose and inflamed due to oxidative stress and lack of collagen production in scalp

Scalp hygiene is important as the acid mantle for your skin there will deal effectively with moulds, bacteria , try Apple Cider Vinegar treatment to slough off old cells and restore acid mantle

need to stop processed sugars as it strips the body of C and B vitamins and Zinc which affect immune system function

Personally, I don't use conditioners because they have a lot of chemicals that aren't really good for your hair. Sure, they make your kes smooth and all but I prefer to use tel. I used to use argan oil but recently I've started to use Navartna oil which is really good. Most people don't like it because its got a distinctive smell of amla but I actually like the smell. Also, it makes your scalp feel cool and its good for dandruff and hair loss. Himani Navratna Oil is a therapeutic oil prepared from Nine Ayurvedic herbs. You can use it for a scalp massage as the natural herbs control hair fall.

Here's the link if you want to buy it (recommended):

You can get it from pretty much any Indian shop anyway.
