Your hair is a crown that always adorns your head. And when you start losing this crown on a daily basis, it can be quite awful and can shake up your confidence. However, did you know that losing up to 100 strands of hair a day is considered to be completely normal? With some lifestyle changes, dietary improvement, and yoga techniques, you can control or slow down this reduction, if not stop it.

Dietary tips:
A healthy diet can go a long way to improve the quality of your hair. Ensure that you have a balanced diet, with a lot of proteins. Include a lot of bottle gourd, banana, jaggery, and watermelon in your diet. We also have a video on YouTube by the name of Midnight Munchies which shows the best way to eat flax seeds or mixed seeds. All these healthy food items will also help to promote hair growth.
