You can also get the required amount of omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseeds, which can be sprinkled on salads and cereals. 

  Drink A Lot of Water

One of the main reasons for dryness and thinning of hair and ultimately, hair loss is dehydration. Your body needs to be properly hydrated to promote the health and growth of hair. According to doctors, you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day, and the more you drink, the better it is for your health. By keeping yourself well hydrated and watching your diet, you can fix a majority of hair problems that lead to hair loss.

Consuming alcohol also damages your immune system, which also damages the hair and slows down its growth. You also need to break the habit of not exercising as regular exercise is actually good for your hair.
