From times immemorial, hair has been considered to add more definition to ones expression. If observed carefully, just the hair style of one nation or culture is enough to relate it to the people who use it. Such importance has given rise to a certain fear in peoples minds about losing hair all of a sudden.
Hair loss results from several reasons. The main reason, however, in most cases is an improper diet more than hormonal imbalance. Preventing hair loss is simple as long as few tips are followed.
Before starting off, there is one simple point that we generally fail to notice. We all know that 20-30 minutes of exercise is good for health. Though we know this, we ignore it with never ending reasons. Hair care is more of a discipline than a quick fix, and takes some time before hair starts looking good.

The best exercise that anybody (read any body) can get is a combination of walks and stretches with few 'relax-periods' in between. Yoga has a good combination of stretching exercise with that miraculous 'shava asana' that relaxes the body.
