Nutrition is important for hair loss. Fad diets, heavy workouts and crash diets often cause serious health problems. Bad skin and hair is the result of losing weight too easily by applying wrong diet plans. Adequate amount of calcium, magnesium, Vitamin A and folic acid is important to promote new hair growth. Alopecia is often corrected by life style changes, change in cleansing methods used for hair and also nutrition.

There is a certain trend in the hair loss. Initially the hair loss is while combing the hair. Slowly the hair loss can be seen while the hair hangs at the edge while braiding or tying a pony. Hair loss of severe nature is often detected while the strands fall on the pillow while sleeping. Friction of hair can also result in hair loss which can happen while using a synthetic pillow, cooling temperatures, synthetic scarves and scrunchies and combing the hair rashly. A bit of care and prevention will definitely prevent hair loss.

Frizzy hair is unruly and wiry. This often hampers styling and one usually ends up tying the hair in a scarf or securing it with lots of pins. This again will promote hair loss and hence one can try out olive oil hair therapy to add shine and softness to hair. Olive oil initially may seem a bit thick to use but regular use of the same will soften hair and also promote good hair growth. There are several brands of olive oil in the market and one can choose a trusted variety.

Skin nourishing with olive oil is also an excellent method especially during dry winters. As hair is based on skin (scalp) revitalizing the scalp does the trick to promote new hair. Olive oil application needs to be used overnight and one can avoid the mess of sleeping with the oil on head. Use a good quantity to apply the same on well combed hair. In case hair loss is severe, use thick cotton swabs to touch the scalp. The rest of hair can be applied with changes in parting and running a wide toothed comb over the hair.

In case the weather is severe in winter, olive oil tends to get thicker. Warm water bowl can be kept underneath the oil and after the application; a towel can be tied around the hair for about half an hour. It is again important to use a good conditioner after the shampoo to avoid tangles and maintain the moisturizing effect. Though costly, olive oil treatment is safe for kids and adults and effective too.
