Losing your hair could be caused by a number of different conditions, said the NHS.
Stress, weight loss, or even an iron deficiency can lead to some form of hair loss.
But, there are some home treatments you can use that might help to prevent some types of hair loss, including alopecia.
One of the easiest ways to avoid losing your hair is to use egg whites as a moisturiser for your scalp, it’s been claimed.

“Egg whites are complete proteins containing all the essential amino acids,” said medical website Healthline.
“You need protein in your diet to build, maintain, and replace the tissues in your body — including your hair.
“While proper intake of protein has been shown to promote healthy hair, some people also use egg white as a hair mask on their scalp and locks to repair damage and reverse hair loss.
“Some claim that using an egg white hair mask cleanses the scalp of excess oils, strengthens hair, promotes growth, and fights dandruff.”

If you decide to use an egg white face mask for your hair, simply crack two egg whites into a bowl, and add two tablespoons of coconut oil.
Whisk the egg whites and coconut oil together, and then apply the mixture directly to your scalp.
Let it soak in your hair for around 20 minutes, making sure that the entire scalp is covered.
Then, shampoo your hair using cool water. Warm or hot water could end up cooking the eggs on your head.
Losing your hair isn’t necessarily something to be worried about.
But, on rare occasions, it could be a tell-tale sign of another medical condition.
You should speak to a doctor if you suddenly start losing your hair, or if you develop bald patches.
There are other treatments for hair loss – including transplants – but they aren’t available on the NHS, and you’ll need to pay for them.
