Baldness

The times where baldness was associated with old age is past. Today, even young people are affected by it.

  • Check your diet

Avoid junk food to maintain the health of your hair. Drinking a sufficient quantity of water and keeping yourself hydrated can help prevent hair loss. Foods that are rich in Vitamin A and C can help.

  • Egg yolk method

Eggs are one of the best sources of protein. Egg yolk contains peptides that stimulate hair follicle growth. It not only increases the growth, but also makes the hair silky, shiny, and bouncy.

Method: Get an egg, separate the egg yolk and beat it well. Then apply the paste on the root follicles as well as the hair and leave it on for an hour.
