Stress can have an impact on your hair, leading to thinning and sometimes hair loss. Here is an ayurvedic remedy:

• Take a cotton wool pad and use it to apply a good /generous amount of Coconut oil to your central parting.
• Continue to part your hair at regular intervals across the front of your head until you reach your ears, rubbing the oil into your scalp as you go.
• Use your fingertips to manipulate and loosen your scalp.Pay attention to the base of the skull by circling your thumbs along your hairline.
• Pour some more oil onto the central parting and rub vigorously, then run your fingers through your hair to disperse the oil.
• Leave the oil on you hair and scalp for a few hours before washing it out.
