You can regrow your hair by understanding why your hair is thin and by consistent regular care at home.

Remedies:

For hair loss accompanied by ailments, you should seek a doctor appointment to get to the root cause. Follow these home remedies and weave the magic into your hair. They can be your stand-alone remedy or can be done along with other treatments:

1. Nutrition: If your diet is lacking in the proper nutrients, you can experience hair loss. If poor nutrition is the cause of your hair loss, eating the right diet with appropriate nutrients can promote hair growth. A lack of protein, zinc, iron or vitamins a, b (especially biotin), c, d, can cause hair loss. It is best to eat nutrient-dense foods to get these nutrients. Your diet should include eggs, unsweetened yoghurt, leafy greens, fresh vegetables, fatty fish and meat. However, if your hair loss is due to an auto-immune condition or hormonal problems, hospicare may be an option. The doctor may order tests and prescribe medication and supplements.
2. Eggs: Wet your hair. Beat two eggs and apply to the damp scalp. Leave it on for thirty minutes and rinse with a mild shampoo. Use this treatment twice a week. The high protein in eggs may help strengthen and thicken your hair.
3. Egg yolk and olive oil: This treatment works if your hair fall is due to dry hair. Combine egg yolks (from 2 eggs), 1 tbsp of olive oil and 3 tbsp of water. Apply the mixture to your hair and scalp. Leave it on for ten minutes and rinse off with shampoo and water. Use this treatment once or twice a week.
