Hair loss is an increasingly common problem and causes many people to worry, especially in the dry weather of autumn and winter.

You can combine shampoo with some foods to prevent hair loss.

Some foods rich in vitamins and weak acids when combined with shampoo will help improve hair loss significantly.

Grapefruit peel

Grapefruit peel is a simple and easy-to-find ingredient. It contains many vitamins A, C, E, B1, B6... and some minerals that help reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth, making it thicker and healthier.

Use the cleaned grapefruit peel to boil in boiling water for about 5 minutes, let the water cool and use it to wash your hair. You do not need to rinse with clean water and let your hair dry naturally. You can combine grapefruit peel with other ingredients such as lemongrass, soapberry...

Beer

Beer is made from naturally fermented grains, containing many nutrients, carbonic acid, acetic acid. When combined with shampoo, beer will help soften hair naturally and significantly reduce hair loss.

To do this method, you can use beer to wash your hair after using shampoo. Finally, rinse with clean water.

Vinegar

Vinegar is a weakly acidic solution, fermented from grains, so when combined with shampoo, it will tighten the hair cuticle and make hair soft and smooth.

Combining shampoo and vinegar will create a surprising result for your hair.

Olive oil

Olive oil is a popular ingredient for dry hair care because it is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. These substances help restore hair by strengthening the ends and providing moisture to the hair. Additionally, olive oil is also used in hair treatments to straighten and strengthen hair.

How to wash your hair with olive oil is very simple. Just mix a few drops of olive oil with the specialized shampoo you are using to wash your hair. The nutrients in olive oil will penetrate the hair, making it softer and stronger.

Baking soda powder

Baking soda is an acidic salt formed after neutralizing a strong alkali and a weak acid. When combined with shampoo, it dissolves in water and helps remove oil from hair, effectively reducing hair loss problems.

Ginger

Antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin C found in the forest when combined with shampoo help improve hair texture, stimulate hair growth, and prevent skin diseases.

In addition, you can try the following method: Slice ginger into thin slices, then boil with 1 liter of water, let cool. Then, use ginger water to wash your hair every day. This is one of the ways to help reduce hair loss in the fall.

Lemon

Adding a little lemon juice to your shampoo not only smells good, but also acts as a natural conditioner. Lemon juice is rich in water-soluble vitamins, which can also promote blood circulation in the scalp and stimulate hair growth.

How to wash hair to avoid hair loss

In addition to paying attention to how to choose the right shampoo, you also need to pay attention to how to wash your hair properly to avoid hair loss.

- Wet your hair: Wetting your hair can take a long time depending on the thickness of your hair. While wetting your hair, run your fingers through your hair to make sure that all of your hair (including the ends) is wet. Additionally, to open up the cuticles, making it easier for your hair to absorb conditioner, you can use warm water to wet it.

- Mix shampoo and water on the scalp: Be careful not to use too much or too little shampoo. Rub the shampoo with a little water in the palm of your hand, then apply the shampoo evenly to the scalp and hair. This way, the direct impact of shampoo on the scalp will be reduced, avoiding wasting the product when using.

You should massage and clean your scalp more than the ends of your hair. Because the ends of your hair will be cleaned when you rinse your hair, the water will wash away all the sebum and dirt that is still stuck to the ends of your hair.

- Gently massage the scalp: Gently massage the scalp for about 3 minutes. This is the correct way to wash your hair to effectively increase blood flow. While doing this, you should not use your fingernails to scratch the scalp because it can easily cause scratches and irritation.

- Rinse hair thoroughly: Rinsing hair is a necessary step to ensure hair is clean of soap, avoiding the condition of making hair heavy, greasy, thereby causing a lot of dandruff. With dry hair, you can rinse hair with cold water because cold water acts as a natural barrier to prevent drying out the sebum layer on the hair and makes hair stronger.

- Use conditioner: Applying conditioner directly to the scalp can make the scalp more oily. Instead, applying conditioner from the middle of the hair to the ends is one of the correct ways to wash your hair.

Then, leave the conditioner on your hair for a while. The time to leave it on depends on the product. Some conditioners take about 2-3 minutes to work, while others can take 5-7 minutes. The effect of leaving the conditioner on your hair is to soften and smooth your hair, giving you long, shiny hair after it dries completely.

- Dry your hair: Next, use a soft towel to dry your hair, paying attention to patting your hair dry instead of rubbing it hard. Because hair is at its weakest when wet, applying strong force to the hair at this time will cause more hair loss.

Another way to dry your hair is to use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt. Avoid rough fabrics as they can damage your hair even more.
