Hair Loss Remedies To Do At Home

Although there are a variety of medical treatments that can effectively treat most cases of hair loss, many people choose to go the natural route instead. By using natural remedies for hair loss you can avoid the pain, inconvenience and high cost of medical hair loss treatments.

Many people who follow a natural lifestyle prefer the organic base of natural remedies. Plus natural remedies are readily available, easy to mix and use and there are usually no side effects that can often be associated with other forms of hair loss treatment. The most common base of natural hair loss remedies are herbs and essential oils. Here are a few remedies that contain them:

Red pepper - This herb can be mixed with water and applied to the affected areas of the scalp. The pepper irritates the skin and causes the release of histamines in the area. These histamines can alter cell division and encourage hair follicle production.
Rosemary and sage - These two herbs can be boiled together to make a rinse that promotes hair growth. After steeping strain the water form the herbs and use it as a rinse after shampooing. The rinse will help stimulate hair follicle production and end extended resting phases in the hair growth cycle.
Aloe Vera - This plant has been proven to balance the pH level of the scalp, clean the hair follicles, and heal irritated skin. Applying the gel or liquid of this plant directly to the scalp can help activate two of the enzymes in the body that are responsible for normal hair growth.
Safflower, lavender, thyme, bay, and cedar essential oils - These oils can stimulate the hair follicles into production, dilate blood vessels to boost blood flow, and relax the skin to prepare it for healing. Applying these oils, either alone or mixed with jojoba or grape seed oil, can help promote hair growth in areas of temporary hair loss.

One thing to keep in mind when using the above type of remedies is massaging in the application. When you massage the scalp for at least 15 minutes during the application you can increase the stimulation of the hair follicles, increases the blood flow to the area and helps the oil or herb to penetrate more deeply.

Other things you can do include:

Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in starch. This may help to slow down the process of hair loss. Fruits and vegetables contain flavonoids, many of which are antioxidants that may provide protections for the hair follicles and encourage hair growth.
Eat plenty of foods high in biotin and/or take supplemental biotin. Biotin is needed for healthy hair and skin. And may even prevent hair loss in some men. Good food sources of biotin include brewers yeast, brown rice, bulger, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts.
Include soy foods such as soybeans, tempeh, and tofu in your diet. Soy foods appear to inhibit the formation of DHT, a hormone implicated in the process of hair loss.
Lie head down on a slant board 15 minutes per day to allow the blood to read your scalp.
Hair is fragile when it is wet. Gently pat your hair dry and squeeze out remaining moisture with a towel.
Cover your hair when it is exposed to sunlight. Long exposure to sunlight and seawater can damage the hair.
Avoid rough treatment. Do not use a brush or fine toothed comb, or towel-dry your hair. Also, do not use a blow dryer or other heated appliances on your hair, let it dry naturally. Do not comb your hair until it is dry, as wet hair tends to break off. Do not wear tight ponytails, cornrows, or other styles that pull on the hair.
