Keeping your hair and scalp clean is essential in this regimen. So wash your hair and condition your mane, 2 to 3 times a week.

Make sure the shampoo is not loaded with chemicals like sulfate, paraben and silicone that can make your hair prone to breakage.

Using a good conditioner that contains amino acids can repair damaged hair and keep them smooth.

Oiling improves blood circulation and nourishes the roots. You can opt for coconut oil or olive oil.

Lauric acid found in coconut oil helps bind protein in hair, protecting it from breakage at the root and strand.

Olive oil can deeply condition your hair to protect it from dryness and associated breakage. Apply 2 tablespoons of olive oil to hair, 30 minutes before wash.

Vitamins are extremely important for your hair.

Vitamin A encourages healthy production of sebum in the scalp, Vitamin E improves blood circulation in the scalp to help hair follicles remain productive and Vitamin B helps hair maintain its healthy color.

So you can either include food items that contain these vitamins in your diet, or talk to a doctor for multivitamin supplements.

Separately, these two DIY hair-masks are also effective:

a) You can soak some fenugreek seeds in water overnight, grind them to a paste the next morning, and apply it to your hair and scalp.

b) Or, you can steep 2-3 teabags in two cups of hot water, let it cool and pour it over your hair and scalp while gently massaging at the roots.

You should also follow these preventive measures to stop losing your hair:

Avoid tying your hair tight or twisting, rubbing, or pulling it.

Handle your hair gently while combing and washing.

Minimize the use of curling irons, hot oil treatments, hot rollers or other harsh treatments.

Protect your hair from the damaging sun rays by using hats and scarves when you step out.
