It also stimulates the hair follicles which results in the growth of new hair. It requires four months to one year for producing visible results.

But hair loss can occur again when the medication is stopped.

There is a well-known herb: Ginkgo Biloba.

It improves the blood circulation in the brain and skin.

It increases the flow of blood in the scalp area .

This increased blood circulation delivers nutrients to the hair follicles and promotes the hair regrowth.

Many people wash their hair everyday and astonishingly some wash twice a day.

The right way to shampoo and condition the hair:

Each time the shampoo is done, the shampoo should be applied to the hair twice.

Firstly the shampoo should be squeezed on to the palm and massaged thoroughly to clean the scalp.After that it should be rinsed well .

After that the shampoo should be applied second time.

A little shampoo can be squeezed and diluted with water in the palm .

Then the hair should be washed off with it.

While applying this, more time should be spent in thoroughly cleaning and rinsing the hair .

First time the scalp should be under consideration and second time the concentration is given on the hair.

The conditioner is applied after rinsing,but not on the scalp.
It should be applicable only on the hair.

A wide tooth comb should be then used to comb out the hairs.
After that it is left for 4 to 5 mins.
The conditioner is then supposed to rinse out .
