Hair Care & Treatments
Hair oils, gummies, PRP, keratin, home hacks.
Aloevera Hair
Aloe vera gel alone can cure most hair problems, from dandruff to hair loss.
Aloe vera has soothing and moisturising properties, but evidence for curing dandruff or reversing hair loss on its own is limited.
Dandruff Oiling
Oiling the scalp heavily will cure dandruff and flaky scalp problems.
Dandruff is linked to yeast overgrowth and scalp inflammation; heavy oiling can sometimes make flaking and itching worse instead of curing it.
Grey Hair Plucking
If you pluck one grey hair, many more grey hairs will grow in its place.
Each hair follicle produces one hair at a time; plucking a grey hair does not cause neighbouring follicles to suddenly turn grey, although the same follicle will usually grow back grey again.
Hair Color Greying
Hair colouring always causes early greying of hair.
Hair greying is mainly driven by genetics and age; hair dyes can damage hair shafts but have not been proven to cause greying at the root.
Hair Loss Oiling
Scalp oiling alone can reverse genetic hair loss and replace medical treatments like minoxidil.
Androgenetic alopecia is driven by hormones and genetics; oils may condition hair but have not been shown to reverse this condition like approved treatments.
Heat Styling
Frequent ironing, curling and blow-drying on high heat are safe as long as hair looks okay.
Repeated high-heat styling damages the cuticle, weakens the hair shaft and increases breakage and split ends over time.
Keratin Treatments
Salon keratin or smoothening treatments are completely safe and chemical-free ways to fix frizzy hair permanently.
Some keratin treatments release formaldehyde or similar chemicals during application; they smooth hair for months but are not chemical-free or permanent.
Laser Hair Loss
Home-use laser caps completely cure hair loss with no need for any other treatment.
Low-level laser therapy can modestly increase hair density in some types of hair loss, but effects are usually partial and work best with other treatments.
Onion Juice Hair Growth
Applying onion juice on the scalp is a proven cure for baldness and will regrow thick hair for everyone.
Small studies suggest onion juice may help in some patchy hair loss conditions, but evidence is limited and it does not reliably cure male or female pattern baldness.
Parabens Sulfates
Any shampoo containing sulfates or parabens will definitely cause hair loss and should never be used.
Sulfates can be too stripping for some hair types and parabens are being phased out in many products, but there is no strong evidence that ordinary use directly causes hair loss in healthy scalps.
Prp Hair
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections always regrow a full head of hair in bald areas.
PRP can improve hair density in some people with early or mild hair loss, but results vary and it cannot fully restore long-standing bald patches.
Rice Water Hair
Rinsing hair with rice water guarantees faster hair growth and dramatically thicker hair for everyone.
Rice water can temporarily smooth and strengthen hair for some people, but there is very limited research proving major growth effects in humans.
Scalp Massage
Gentle daily scalp massage can support hair health and may modestly help with thickness when combined with other treatments.
Limited studies suggest that regular scalp massage may increase hair thickness by improving blood flow and stretching hair follicle cells, but effects are modest and not a cure for all hair loss.
Scalp Microneedling
DIY deep microneedling at home with random rollers is a safe way to boost hair growth.
Microneedling can support hair growth when performed properly under medical guidance, but DIY deep needling increases risk of infection, scarring and uneven results.
Shampoo Frequency
Washing hair frequently always causes hair fall and should be avoided.
For most people, gentle shampoos used as often as needed for their hair and scalp type do not cause true hair loss; hairs seen in the shower are often those that would have shed anyway.
Silicones Hair
Silicones in hair products always damage hair and must be completely avoided.
Silicones can coat the hair and reduce frizz and breakage; buildup is possible, but they are not inherently damaging when used in balanced routines.
Stress And Hair
Stress has nothing to do with hair fall; it is all about shampoo and diet.
Strong physical or emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a shedding condition where more hairs than usual enter the resting phase and fall out a few months later.
Supplements Hair Growth
Biotin gummies and generic hair vitamins will regrow hair in everyone with hair thinning.
Biotin helps only when there is a true deficiency, which is rare; most hair-loss cases need evaluation for hormonal, genetic or medical causes.
Tight Hairstyles
Tight ponytails, braids or buns are harmless and do not affect hair roots.
Regularly wearing tight styles that pull on the scalp can lead to traction alopecia, a form of hair loss caused by repeated tension on hair follicles.
Trimming And Growth
Cutting hair more often makes it grow faster from the roots.
Hair growth speed is controlled by follicles under the scalp, not by how often you trim the ends; trims mainly help reduce split ends and breakage.
