Hair Fall: Common Causes & How Regular Oiling Helps

Finding a few strands on your comb is completely normal. Hair grows in cycles, and most people shed around 50–100 hairs a day. When you start noticing more on your pillow, brush or shower drain, it is usually a sign that your hair and scalp need a little extra care.

What makes hair fall worse?

A dry, undernourished scalp. Roots need nourishment to hold strong strands.
Breakage. Harsh shampoos, heat styling, rough towel-drying and tight hairstyles all weaken hair.
Stress and poor sleep. Your hair often shows what your body is going through.
Diet. Too little protein, iron and vitamins can leave hair thin and weak.
Seasons, hard water and pollution. These dry out both scalp and strands.

How regular oiling helps

Oiling is one of the oldest hair care rituals in our homes, and for good reason. Massaging oil into the scalp nourishes it and reduces dryness, while coating the lengths protects strands from friction and breakage, one of the most common reasons hair starts to look thin.

Ingredients like castor oil, amla and ritha have been trusted in traditional hair care for generations. They are the heart of Esha Naturals Anti Hair Fall Oil, blended to strengthen hair from the roots.

Consistency matters more than quantity. A gentle massage two to three times a week does more than a heavy application once a month.

A simple anti hair fall routine

Apply the oil to your scalp section by section, 2–3 times a week.
Massage with your fingertips (not nails) for 5–10 minutes.
Leave it on for 1–2 hours, or overnight.
Wash with a mild shampoo and lukewarm water, not hot.
Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb, and avoid tying wet hair tightly.

Support it from within

Eat enough protein, include fresh fruit and vegetables, drink plenty of water and try to sleep well. Healthy hair is built both inside and out.

If you notice sudden, patchy or very heavy hair loss, please consult a doctor or dermatologist, as it can point to an underlying health condition.
