Solution
The condition of the hair reflects the nutritional status and general health of the body. Thin, sparse and lots of hair indicates poor nutritional status.
The following measures will help to maintain hair growth and avoid hair loss.
- The regular hair wash and massage of the scalp will remove the dead skin cells, excess oil and dust.
- Rinsing the hair well with clear water and using good toothed comb for hair dressing is highly essential for their maintenance.
- Eating a balanced diet which provides all nutrients needed for the body will promote hair growth.
- Applying oil to the skin and massaging the scalp will promote hair growth.
- Use of chemicals (dyes, shampoos) must be used to avoid hair loss.
