Answer:

A deficiency of iron is known to cause severe hair loss.
Even a partial lack of any nutrient in the diet can have a disastrous effect on the health of the hair.
Hair is formed in minute pockets in the scalp called follicles. The average growth rate is about 1.2 cm/ month.

The healthy condition of the hair depends greatly on the adequate and sufficient intake of all the right vitamins and minerals in the right proportions.
Initially you could start with iron supplements for 3 months. Wait for the response. Then gradually taper off the dose and supplement your diet with natural iron.
Rich sources of iron are – tomato, dates, beet, carrot, green leafy vegetables.
Multi-vitamin, multi-mineral supplements make up for any other deficiencies.
A daily massage of the scalp with/ without oil is very important to stimulate hair growth.
Weekly application of coconut oil to which a few drops of lime juice is added, promotes hair growth and strengthens hair roots.
Another effective remedy is coconut milk. It stimulates the hair follicles, reduces hair loss and lengthens the hair.

Precautions for treating Hair Fall

Stress is a contributing factor to hair-loss. Take time off from hectic schedules to unwind. A soothing scalp massage twice a week will do wonders to stimulate the circulation to the scalp and in improving your hair growth.
Protect your hair from the harsh effects of environmental pollution.
Always carry a scarf/ umbrella/ cap to shield from the sun and pollutants.

Home Remedies for Hair Growth

VIGOROUS RUBBING of the scalp with your fingers, after washing the hair, helps stimulate a sluggish scalp.
Maintain good hair hygiene. Keep the scalp CLEAN. Do not neglect an infection or dandruff.
Avoid any sort of CHEMICAL TREATMENTS, strong shampoos and conditioners. (Change your shampoos and conditioners every 3-5 months.)
Avoid using DRYERS. The heat dries out the scalp.
Towel drying is the best way to dry your hair.
An OIL MASSAGE is highly beneficial for a good hair growth and to prevent hair fall. It nourishes the scalp, strengthens the hair, and helps combat the harsh effects of pollution.

Please let me know following things

Iron supplements and dietary iron will increase your hemoglobin level.
Have you assessed the level? What is it?
Do you also suffer from tiredness? Breathlessness? Poor appetite? Dizziness?
What is your present menstrual pattern?
Has there been any change in the pattern? If so, since when?
Has the flow decreased?

Most menstrual disorders are primarily due to nutritional deficiencies and toxicity of the system. This affects the metabolism and hormonal profile, making periods irregular. It is vital for you to stream line your diet. Chalk out a timetable and stick to it. Also, yoga asana and pranayama will regularize the body mechanisms.
