Hello dear,

There are incidences that applying onion juice & drinking carrot juice have helped individuals in stopping hair fall. But there are no medical evidences associated with it.

The reasons for hair loss can be many, such as:
1. Environmental factors
2. Stress
3. Deficiency of certain minerals, vitamins & amino acids in diet. e.g. Iron, zinc, Vit B complex, lysine.
4. Hormonal factors. e.g. Thyroxine
5. Any incidence of surgery, shock, etc.

Management includes:
1. Treating the underlying cause
2. Avoidance of stress
3. Dietary modifications
4. Minoxidil solution to be applied locally to stimulate the hair follicles
5. Multivitamin & multi mineral supplementation

But these medications have to be used regularly under the guidance of a Dermatologist, as hair loss tends to return on stoppage of these medications.

There is no need to worry.
Your hairs will grow back again.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Thanks & take care.
