Hair thinning and regeneration

3. How often should I oil my hair? I heard its bad to wash your hair everyday, because I put oil overnight and in the morning I wash it with little shampoo.

Thanks in advance.

- put oil in my hair 2 times a week.

- the oil im using is coconut mixed with olive oil and indian gooseberry (i made it at home)

- olive oil makes my hair really smooth.

- with regards to the massage what I do is place the tips of my fingers on my temples and start there. I basically hold my fingers there and create small circles. Then I slowly move towards the middle. I do this all over my head. The massage lasts about 1-2 mins. Too much is also not good so i only do it for a few mins. 

- I massage my head with and without oil, e.g when watching tv I just get bored so i massage my head. 

- Another thing you can do is perhaps take multi vitamin tablets for hair, skin and nails. you can get these at most drug stores or supermarkets

- This may not be relevant, but a lot of people with alopecia have said rubbing a garlic or an onion on their head, in less hair areas, has caused hair to grow there. but i think you would have to look into this. 

-I know you are a boy buy you may want to try mendhi once or twice. It is meant to be cooling for the head and is a great conditioner. Albeit, make sure you mix in amla, shikakai, bringraj powder in there, so that you dont get too much of the mendhi colour on your hair. When I do this i put oil on my hair before because mendhi dries out my hair. 

- you may want to look into non-SLS shampoos. I have heard that they are better for te hair, although I am yet to try it out. 

-For more information look up hair care videos on youtube.

Hope this has helped you :)

Thank you so much for your response, I'll try everything you mentioned.  How is your hair now? Is it getting/ or has it got better? I hope it has. 

I have a few questions for you, if you wouldn't mind answering them...

1. You said you make the Indian gooseberry at home? How did you do that? 

2. Do you warm the mixtures of oil or do you just apply as is?

3. You mentioned vitamin tablets, do you know of any that I should try. 

Once again, thanks for your help. I really do appreciate it.

Hey

Well, right now my hair is better, I mean its still thin, but i don't get as much hair fall, i.e. every time I touch it it doesn't come out in my hand. 

1. Ok so what I did was the following:

- bought 8-10 gooseberrys

- cut them up and threw the seed away

- took the cut up pieces and put them into a juicer

- all the pulp from that, i took and put into a pan, the juice you can drink (i dont know what the benefits of that is but i guess it has a lot of vit c so a spoon a day can be just for general health)

- so in the pan, i put coconut oil, olive oil and I heated it on a loww gas for about 30 mins

- then let it cool over night

- then use a strainer or a cloth and get the oil, this is a very messy process

2. usually my oil gets hard, so i put warm water in my sink and put the oil bottle in the water. This melts it and then i put it into a bowl and massage into my head. 

3. perfectil for hair, skin and nails. but there are tons of vitamin tablets.

:D

Best wishes. 

amla is indian gooseberry

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for your advice. Here is an update after Inocence's advice on my problem : 

So on December 13th , I shaved my head completely to # 0 . The reason I did this is because my hair was about 5 to 6 cm long. And everytime I had to massage my hair or put oil on it , a lot of hair used to fall off. and then more hair would fall off when I washed it . 

Since then I've been applying the treatement "inocence" gave me almost every alternate day and sometimes 2 days in a row. I have noticed some changes.  When my hair was growing two weeks after the haircut, I could see the "problem spots" on my head. It is basically the " crown " or top portion of my head. There are some areas that grow and some areas that take twice as long to grow and then there's the sides of my hair that grow normally. 

Anyway , its been more than 2 months now and the sides are 2 to 3 cm and the top is 1-2 cm in length.  My hair has definitely got more darker, but I think it will take more time before I need to go for a hair cut again. 

Thank you all for your help . 😃

I do have one question , do you recommend I eat a particular food or take a vitamin to help with this case. 

Thanks in advance!

Wow Congratulations!!

how do you feel about the changes? 

usually hair grows an average of 1 cm a month so thats great that your hair is growing at a normal pace! its so cool that your hair has gotten darker..thats brilliant!! :)

in terms of what to eat...well im vegetarian...so for me i try to ensure that i have daal once a day in my dinner or something..if you eat meat then fish is a great source of protein, as is egg. Almonds are great and if you have an amla every so often it would be good. Lauki is also very good for hair, so if you eat its curry that would be good. :)
