Jawed Habib reveals 'foolproof' hack to stop hair fall: 4 simple steps to keep your tresses strong until 50

Renowned hair expert Jawed Habib, who has been a household name in the Indian hair and beauty industry for decades, has revealed what he calls a fool-proof solution to prevent hair fall. In a recent Instagram video, Habib addressed one of the most common concerns among people, especially in North India, and insisted that hair fall is entirely preventable if one follows the right routine.

According to Habib, sweat-induced dandruff is the biggest culprit behind hair loss. “In North India, particularly in the North-East, there’s a problem of sweat which creates dandruff inside our hair and on our skin. We call this roosi. And this dandruff is nothing less than poison for the hair,” he explained.

While many aspire for long and luscious locks, Habib pointed out that superstition and poor habits are the main reasons hair becomes weak. “People don’t wash their hair daily, thinking it’s harmful. But in reality, not washing leads to itching, breakage and hair fall,” he added.

Jawed Habib’s Hair Care Solution

Habib urged people to wash their hair every single day, but with a twist that goes back to traditional remedies. He emphasised the importance of mustard oil (sarson ka tel), which he claims is the ultimate natural solution for maintaining strong, healthy hair.

Here’s the routine he suggested:

• Step 1: Wet your hair first, as oil does not work effectively on dry hair.
• Step 2: Apply mustard oil (do not massage it in).
• Step 3: Leave it on for 5–10 minutes.
• Step 4: Wash it off with shampoo, soap, or natural cleansers like reetha.

“You have to do this every day. If you follow this routine, your hair will never break or fall. Before the age of 50, no one’s hair should break. If it is, that means you are not following me,” Habib declared with confidence.

Why Mustard Oil Works Wonders

Mustard oil, or sarson ka tel, has long been part of Indian households, not just in kitchens but also in beauty rituals. Habib explained that its abundance in North India is no coincidence, “God must have given it for a reason,” he quipped.

Benefits of Mustard Oil for Hair:

• Packed with nutrients: Rich in proteins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
• Vitamin boost: Contains vitamins A, D, E and K to promote growth.
• Scalp health: Antifungal and antibacterial properties help combat dandruff.
• Stronger roots: Reduces breakage and hair fall.
• Shinier hair: Improves texture and adds natural lustre.

Jawed Habib has once again reminded us that sometimes the simplest remedies are the most effective. And if his advice is followed, perhaps hair fall will no longer be the stubborn enemy it has become for many.
