How to tackle hair loss as you age

Hair loss is a naturally occurring phenomenon as you advance in age. Thinning of hair baldness is one of the signs of aging and mostly caused due to nutrients deficiencies such as iron deficiency.

Garlic when crushed and massage into scalp helps blood circulation which reduces thinning hair.

Hair masks

Hair masks strengthen hair follicles to prevent breakage and eventual thinning. There are some natural remedies you can use, here are few hair masks you could use:

Eggs: am sure you know that egg whites make great hair masks to prevent breakage and thinning. Break 2 eggs, remove the yolks, and massage the white into your scalp and hair. Leave in the hair for 15 minutes until it dry. Then rinse off with warm water.

Yoghurt: yoghurt gives hair volume and luster. So make a hair mask by massaging yoghurt into your hair, cover with a wrap and allow to condition hair for 15 minutes then rinse off.

Coconut milk and lemon: the source of coconut milk is the natural one itself, especially the ones yet to fully mature as they are very succulent and full of milk. With these, you can scoop the entire content, including the coconut with spoon. Blend it into a smooth paste, squeeze a little amount of lemon into it and massage into hair. This really works great!

Natural hair treatment.
