Brilio.net - Hair is a part of the body that is often an important element in a person's appearance . Its main function is to protect the scalp from sunlight and regulate body temperature. However, hair is also often used as a means of expressing a person through various hairstyles that can be applied according to taste.
However, all the benefits of this hair can be threatened if hair problems such as hair loss occur. Hair loss refers to a condition when the number of strands of hair falling from the roots or scalp exceeds normal limits. Even though hair loss is a natural process of hair regeneration, if there is too much it can actually make the hair look thin, giving the impression of baldness.
One of the causes of excessive hair loss is dry hair due to exposure to UV rays from the sun and pollution. Both sunlight and pollution can evaporate the natural moisture in the hair and scalp, thereby damaging the cuticle (hair's protective layer) and triggering hair brittleness. Apart from that, minimal consumption of vitamins and excessive stress can also increase the amount of hair loss.
However, you don't need to feel confused if you are faced with this problem. The reason is, there is a simple solution using natural ingredients that you can try to treat hair loss.
One of them is using a mixture of ginger and aloe vera gel, as reported by briliobeauty.net on Friday (9/2) from @hairfallsolutions.in via Instagram.

Ginger is a spice that has various health benefits, including for hair loss problems. Summarized from the Juicy Chemistry page, the active substances in ginger such as gingerol have antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties which can help treat scalp problems caused by fungal infections or inflammation. Apart from that, ginger can also increase blood circulation in the scalp. Better blood circulation makes hair follicles stronger, which helps reduce hair loss.

Apart from that, aloe vera also has hydrating properties which are effective in maintaining moisture and protecting hair from damage due to heat, pollution and chemicals .
