Tresses hate stresses! :)

I just posted this on wiki-how-pedia, and I don't know if they'll approve, but still am recording it here, because I spent a bloody long time thinking of what to write!
Have you just woken up from a nightmare about going bald to find your precious strands of hair strewn all over the pillow? Well, dreadful situation isn't it, and a recurring one, at least in my case. But now I have decided enough is enough, I will stop my hair from falling out!
How - well the most important thing is - stop having nightmares about hair fall, in fact stop having night mares of any kind. Tresses hate stresses. :) And you can't get truer than that. Hair loss is something you cannot conquer overnight, not even over a fortnight. Its a gradual process that requires faith and calm confidence in your methods. I have done a little bit of 'trustworthy' Google-Research and found that this seems to be a widely discussed and lamented topic! everybody is worried about losing hair - male, female, otherwise, child, teenager, adult! Phew! Since I was on this fact collecting spree, here are a few things that had actually helped me -

Step 1 - Like I said before, and you can never hear enough of this, do not stress about losing hair, because its anyway a scientifically proven fact that you are a normal homo-sapien if you're losing about 80-100 strands in a day.. so congrats. And for those who are losing a bit more, well... read on.

Step 2 - Treat chemical treatments as a disease - avoid them like the plague! And by chemical I mean all those fancy expensive brands that have successfully conned us all with their marketing gimmicks into believing that their products are the closest we have to God's gift to our mane! Wrong, in fact, God's gift to our mane comes in tiny affordable packages. I wont claim to know more than Google does, so my advice would be to google some natural hair care ingredients- a few that have been tried and tested by me personally are - hot oil treatment with pure olive oil (works wonders really) about twice a week, leave it on overnight, and shampoo the next day with a herbal shampoo (believe me the Indian ones are the better lot) Make an attempt at using amla or shikakai to wash your hair.

Step 3 - Regularly cleaning and brushing the hair is very important. There is a reason all the childhood fairy tales included scenes where the beautiful princess would brush her long golden tresses, I believe it was incorporated by some wise story-teller to imprint on young minds the importance of combing! Detangle your hair whenever possible, this will reduce your hair fall instantaneously. When we brush our hair, our scalp is encouraged to secrete more natural oil that imparts a glossy look and makes the hair healthier.

Step 4 - Eat healthy and excrete regularly. :) Funny as it may sound, do excrete regularly because constipation is apparently bad for the tresses, but I'll just take my online research's word for that. :) Eating healthy - the keywords are - green, leafy, dairy, wheat, soy, Vit-A

That is all for now, you're welcome to add to this if you have suggestions. Please read the title of this again and remember
don't let falling hair
give you a scare

and adore gentle care
For all those gagging at my little limerick.....find better things to do!
