As winter approaches, increased hair fall becomes a common concern for many. The seasonal change often leads to more noticeable hair loss, primarily due to the dry, cold air that strips moisture from the scalp. This dryness can cause not only hair thinning and breakage but also discomfort from a flaky, itchy scalp. The combination of these factors can significantly heighten hair loss during the winter months.
In response to this seasonal challenge, actress Karishma Tanna has shared her effective strategies for promoting strong, thick hair in a recent Instagram video. Here are her top tips to combat hair fall:
- Hair Pulling: Gently grasp hair from the roots and apply light pressure for a few minutes to stimulate the scalp.
- Head Tapping: Tap the scalp lightly with fingers for five minutes each day to enhance blood circulation.
- Back Combing: Gather hair in front of the face and comb from the nape to the front, helping to add volume.
- Head Drop Exercise: Lie on a bed or sofa with the head resting at the edge, allowing hair to hang freely down to the floor to promote relaxation.
- Prana Mudra: This yoga gesture aids in preventing hair loss and fostering healthy hair. Sit in a meditative position, such as Padmasana, with a straight back and closed eyes. Join the tips of the thumb, ring finger, and little finger on both hands while keeping the index and middle fingers straight. Hold this position for 20 to 25 minutes.
Implementing these techniques can help maintain hair health and reduce winter-related shedding.
