Bhringraj Oil
Bhringraj is an excellent cure for hair problems and is extensively used for treating hair fall issues. It is also one of the most used herbal medicines since ancient times and still continues to be used in hair oils, shampoos and hair serums.

Aloe Vera Gel and Coconut Oil
Both the Aloe Vera gel and coconut oil are the perfect cure for hair fall and dandruff. However, for the best results, we recommend using the natural Aloe Vera gel, straight from the plant.
You can easily grow the Aloe Vera plant in a small planter and use it as a source of fresh Aloe Vera gel. Simply cut the leaf, let the yellow discharge subside and cut open the succulent portion. Take out the white pulp and crush it or mash it. Apply it directly to your scalp. You can also mix coconut oil with the extract and apply it to your hair and scalp. Keep it for 2-3 hours and wash with lukewarm water.
Repeat the process every week for the best results.

Onion Black seed, Curry leaves and Fenugreek Seed Oil
Kalonji or onion black seed is one of the best and most celebrated herbal treatments for hair fall. You can boil it with red onions, curry leaves and fenugreek seeds in mustard or coconut oil on low heat and prepare perfect hair loss oil. You can apply it regularly for the best results.
You can also find readymade oil online. However, we recommend opting for the best brands that use all-natural ingredients, as your final preparation is as good as the quality of ingredients you use.

Neem paste
Neem is an age-old medicine for hair fall and dandruff. You can simply gather the soft Neem leaves and make a smooth paste in a mixer. Apply this paste to your scalp and hair roots. Keep it for 3 or 4 hours and wash with lukewarm water. Repeat the process every week to see the best results.

Castor Oil
Castor oil is yet another popular natural remedy for hair troubles. You can use it individually, or mix it with Almond oil, Olive Oil, and Aloe Vera gel to make a mix.
