Before opting for any treatment it is always better to identify the root cause for baldness. Any medical issues must be dealt first.

No matter what the tv ads say we all know that no shampoo can give us lustrous locks until we care for them. The best hair loss remedy is to have a balanced diet. Mentioned below are few dietary modifications that will help you deal with the hair loss problem and keep your mane soft and shiny.

• Flaxseeds: It is a great source of iron and omega-3s, which support scalp health and can encourage hair growth.

• Carrots: Are rich in Vitamin A which provide excellent nourishment to the scalp. A healthy scalp ensures shiny, well-conditioned hair that is strengthened and moisturised.

• Oats: It is an all round super food for hair. Oats contain potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron that aids in healthy hair growth.

• Eggs: They are loaded with essential nutrients such as proteins, Vitamin B12, iron, zinc and Omega 6 fatty acids. Eggs are also a good source for biotin (Vitamin B7) which is a great aid to fight hair loss. You can also boost your iron stores with animal sources, including chicken, fish, pork, and beef.

• Nuts: Add almonds, peanuts and walnuts in your daily diet plan if you want to prevent hair loss. These nuts are great source of omega 3 fatty acids and zinc, which can help prevent hair from shedding apart from making them soft and shiny.
