How much hair fall is too much hair fall?
Well, we all have our share of hair fall and it is inevitable. There is no dearth of reasons for it. From season change, humidity, and excessive sweating to an unhealthy diet, undernourished hair, and lack of nutrition, the list goes on. Unfortunately, we only wake up when the situation becomes as grim as being able to see our scalp.
Our first resort is always ghar ke desi nuskhe and there is no doubt that they work like magic! We’ve brought you an ingredient that’s lesser-known but super powerful. Say hello kalonji or black cumin and say bye to your hair fall problems!
According to a study published in the journal Dermatology and Therapy, we lose 50 to 100 hair strands on a daily basis and it’s normal. The study also suggests that there is an increase in the cases of female pattern hair loss and it is high time that women take some proper measures to prevent it. Honestly, kalonji can really help.
Here are four reasons why your hair is going to love kalonji:
1. Kalonji will help you solve your hair fall problem
Hair fall happens primarily due to poor scalp health. Damaged follicles are unable to grip the hair strand and that’s why major hair loss is witnessed. Black cumin or kalonji is used worldwide for dermatological purposes, especially for hair oils and there’s good reason for it. According to a study published in the Journal of Tropical Medicine, it nourishes the hair follicles so that they can grip the hair better which results in less hair fall.
2. Kalonji help you deal with dandruff as well
Dandruff is not just a dry scalp problem but people with oily skin also deal with dandruff. In fact, people with an oily scalp might just have an even worse experience because the oil tends to trap more dust. It makes your scalp itchy which further leads to rashes and minor wounds. But according to the above study, kalonji has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing effects.
3. It promotes hair regrowth
Hair problems like androgenic alopecia or alopecia areata don’t just damage your hair but can cause a hit to your confidence level. The good news is that kalonji oil contains nigellone and thymoquinone both of which are antihistamine given to patients of alopecia as they curb allergies and let your hair grow the way they should.
4. Kalonji conditions your hair
When it comes to kalonji, amino acid does the magic trick. Basically, it helps in sealing the moisture in your scalp and lets it stay healthy as well as properly conditioned. This means kalonji can help you save big bucks by joining your pre-wash routine.
Dermatologist, Dr. Rinky Kapoor suggests that oiling for hair with kalonji oil and keeping it on for 30 minutes is helpful when it comes to conditioning.
