Natural Hair Loss Remedies

Fact: There is no sure-fire way to prevent all hair loss. However, some methods that have been used work on some people. Here are some suggestions for natural remedies to hair loss. Massage Massaging the scalp in general for a couple of minutes a day can stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles and in mild cases stimulate some hair growth in minor cases of temporary hair loss. There are several electric massagers on the market that have an attachment for scalp massaging as well. An oriental method called Qi Gong (pronounced Chi Kung) has been used to increase circulation to the scalp and face also. Aromatherapy A blend of six drops each of lavender and bay essential oils in a base of four ounces of either almond, soybean or sesame oil massaged into the scalp and allowed to sit for 20 minutes has been used by aroma therapists to stimulate the scalp. Saw Palmetto Extract There is a definite connection between the prostate and hair loss for men. Saw Palmetto has been found to work in fighting benign prostatic disease by lowering levels of DHT, which is a known cause of androgenetic alopecia. Saw Palmetto extract is an effective anti-androgen and shows promise as an effective treatment for hair loss prevention. More information on Saw Palmetto for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Women on oral contraceptives or hormone therapy should not take Saw Palmetto. Nettle Root Extract Nettles are rich in vitamins A and C, several key minerals and lipids that can be beneficial to the hair. Nettle Root Extract has been used successfully in Europe as an inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase in treating BPH. Rosemary and Sage Rosemary and sage are two herbs that have shown benefit traditionally when used externally. Boil together in water rosemary, sage, peach leaf, nettle and burdock. Then strain the loose herbs from the liquid and use the liquid to wash the hair daily. Jojoba Oil If you are predisposed to seborrhea, eczema, psoriasis, or dandruff, you could consider using jojoba oil. Mexicans and southwestern Native American nations have used jojoba oil traditionally for centuries to promote hair growth and the control of dandruff. Jojoba oil is great for hypoallergenic skin because it is a great moisturizer and mimics the scalp's own sebum. Aloe Vera Aloe Vera has been used by Native Americans, Indians and many in the Caribbean to promote healthy hair and prevent hair loss. Aloe's can help the scalp by healing it and balancing the pH level of the scalp while cleansing the pores. A common preparation of Aloe Vera gel with a small amount of wheat germ oil and coconut milk is used as a shampoo and has traditionally shown great benefit. Henna Henna is a traditional Indian herb that acts as a natural conditioner and is excellent for the maintenance of healthy hair. It can help heal the hair shaft by repairing and sealing the cuticle, protecting hair against breakage and loss of shine. Polysorbate-80 Polysorbate-80 is an FDA approved surfactant that is also approved as a food additive. Although not proven, Polysorbate-80 is said to remove deposits of DHT and cholesterol from the scalp. Polysorbate-80 is being recommended by some naturopathic practitioners as an application for the scalp approximately 15 minutes prior to shampooing. Cleansing and Detoxification Cleansing should be a major part of your regimen to maintain and grow hair. Many scalp related diseases are directly the result of toxemia, while toxins in the body adversely affecting the body's systems indirectly affect other conditions. Cleansing can be performed through oral means regularly and occasionally by enema or colonic irrigation. More remedies for detoxification Psyllium husk Fiber is vital to cleansing, and most North American diets are deficient in natural fiber. Psyllium husk is a bulking laxative agent that can be used to safely move waste through the colon. Psyllium is a very good substance as it gently scrubs the walls of the colon to remove waste that is stuck to the walls.

Exercise Finally, although exercise does absolutely nothing directly to grow hair, most holistic practitioners recommend it. Exercising can improve blood flow, the delivery of oxygen to the cells of the body, and help the digestion of foods, all things that aid the health of hair follicles.

Balding Itchy Scalp - Natural Remedies to Treat a Balding Itchy Scalp

A balding itchy scalp can be a difficult thing to endure. The hair loss can be sudden, and the accompanying itch can drive you mad. What can you do to treat an balding itchy scalp problem, and are there any natural remedies to take care of, and cure it?

Is A Balding Itchy Scalp A Normal Part Of Pattern Baldness?

Balding

An irritated scalp is not a symptom of male or female pattern baldness (the most common natural form of balding and hair loss. The fancy medical name for this is Androgenetic Alopecia. Pattern baldness is currently understood to be mainly a genetic and hormonal problem due to androgens particularly an androgen called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and is not seen to be accompanied by an irritated scalp.

This could be good news as in most cases of balding itchy scalp, the hair loss is only temporary and not permanent. So by treating and curing the itchy scalp condition, your hair should eventually grow back.

Therefore, if you are suffering from a balding itchy scalp it could be one of the following:

Ringworm (tinea capitis) - this is a particularly aggressive and contagious fungus that can produce symptoms like red, itchy burning patches on the scalp, hair loss and if left untreated can lead to cicatricial alopecia, i.e. permanent hair loss.

Ringworm requires some pretty tough treatment to clear it up and I would recommend you see your doctor or dermatologist for advice on this. Most prescriptions involve a medication like miconazole, clotrimazole or similar ingredients. There are natural antibiotics available that can be used to tackle this nasty fungal infection.

Psoriasis is an extremely common condition, and psoriasis of the scalp can lead to temporary hair loss. It is normally identifiable as white scales on patches of very red skin, severe itching and temporary baldness on the affected areas.

Natural Remedies To Treat A Balding Itchy Scalp

First thing to do is look at your shampoo and bathing habits. Have either of these changed lately? Are you using a new shampoo? Have you recently had your hair dyed or been to the hairdressers?

Often times the beginnings of scalp reactions and infections can be traced back to the products we put on our hair. Look out for harsh chemicals that dry out your scalp like Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLS) - as this will only serve to aggravate your balding itchy scalp problem.

Try using a shampoo containing Zinc Pyrithione (the natural stuff, not the synthetic one). This is commonly used as an anti-dandruff ingredient, as it has very strong anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.

Home remedies that make use of birch or avocado oil are extremely effective in soothing and healing psoriasis.

Natural essential oils such as Tea Tree, Rosemary, Lavender and Manuka are superb at treating balding itchy scalp problems and can even stimulate hair growth. Combined with a scalp massage they can alleviate the symptoms of balding itchy scalp.

How To Grow Black Hair Quickly Using Natural Ingredients

Many people are wondering if coconut oil can actually help their hair to grow more quickly. There are also those who ask how to grow black hair more quickly and if it is possible to do so using natural ingredients.

To begin with, the best thing about coconut oil is its light consistency. It is also not heavy and coarse allowing it to easily penetrate the shaft of the hair quite easily.

\"hair Grow\"

Take note that numerous oils merely remain in the hair and do not go through the roots. But coconut oil is a cut above the rest as it goes quite deep and helps nourish the hair. Also, coconut oil provides numerous benefits and is similarly filled with nutrients. If you are wondering how to grow black hair quickly, coconut oil makes this possible thanks to the protein it contains which helps make the hair follicles strong and young.

Besides the coconut oil's inherent protein-rich goodness, it also softens and nourishes the hair. However, coconut alone is insufficient to make your black hair grow. Be aware that there are numerous elements which make it possible for hair to grow longer and jet black.

For one, you need to utilize a shampoo that is gentle on the scalp. Take note that popular shampoos possess harsh chemical sulfates which could strip the hair's natural moisture and color. As much as possible, avoid shampoo products which contain ammonium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate. If you want to use a clarifying shampoo, make sure to only apply it on your hair once a month. You can use shampoos which contain the following ingredients which are gentle on the hair: PEG 80 and sorbitan laurate.

You can also use vitamins for your hair in order to increase its growth as well as lengthen it. Do not forget that hair grows approximately half an inch every month. You then need to take nutrients which contain folic acid and biotin.

Another method to grow black hair faster is by appropriately neutralizing your hair after it has gone through chemical relaxers. Make sure to neutralize your crowning glory after you relax your hair. It is important for you to wash out all the relaxer using water. Then apply neutralizing shampoo on it. Then, allow it to remain on the hair for at least ten minutes. After this, feel free to wash it off. You can then proceed with applying conditioners and continue to styling.

Do not forget that more than 80% of your hair consists of protein. Such proteins are made of fibrous elements referred to as keratin. Egg treatments are the best to use in order to maintain the color of your beautiful black hair.

Prevent Hair Fall and Dandruff the Natural Way

Hair loss and dandruff are one of the most irritating disorders that can even make a person depressed at times.

There is a huge market for hair disorders such as hair fall, dandruff, alopecia etc. Companies are making a quick buck and exploiting in the name of herbal remedies. Many of these remedies are not purely herbal and may contain some herb as a component with inorganic and harmful chemicals as the prime component. Such products give only temporary relief, for example, anti-dandruff shampoos widely marketed, give relief only for a day or even lesser period.Ofcourse, there are genuine products in the market and the companies need not be pointed out for it is not their fault alone, but also of consumers who wants a quick remedy! Application of such temporary remedies and easily accessible products is not the right solution for the hair disorders, the solution lies in the age old systems of traditional medicine.

\"hair Fall\"

Such traditional medicine with modern science and technology can throw some effective long term and easy to use remedies. While I don't remember at this point of time any such ready to use natural remedy manufactured by companies, I am suggesting some time tested age old traditional or natural methods for containing hair fall and dandruff. Though some of the methods are cumbersome or the ingredients not readily accessible, this is the only way and natural way for preventing as well as curing the irritating disorders.

The ripened fruits of Soap nut, botanically called Sapindus emarginatus, are soaked in hot water for 10-15 minutes and then crushed with hand in the same water to get the extract.The extract can be daily used beneficially with no side effects as a shampoo. It gives rich lather and can be compared in lathering property to synthetic lathering agents generally found in manufactured shampoos.

Another time tested natural shampoo, is the thoroughly ground powder of Blackgram, which should be made into a viscid paste with which the hair is washed and the scalp massaged. This is a good soap for the body also. For starters, the paste when applied, may be rough as compared to the soap, but a beautiful soap with all goodness.

Both the above, Soap nut juice and Black Gram powder are natural shampoos, with no loss of natural oil from the body and in addition are anti dandruff.

Prior to head bath the following applications are useful

Prior to shampooing or head bath, the scalp is thoroughly massaged with a combination made of crushed fenugreek seeds and sour curd. Leave for 15-20 minutes and wash with the shampoos suggested above.

People who do not like to apply oil in day times may apply oil like pure coconut oil before going to bed and then shampoo the natural way in the morning. This restores the lost oil from the scalp.

Another remedy widely used in India and known as a c-vitamin rich fruit all over the world, Powder of Indian Gooseberry is an excellent rejuvenator for the hair. It brings lustier, prevents or contains dandruff and helps strengthen the roots.

There are several such remedies, but access to the raw materials or genuine products is a problem in addition to the time consuming preparations. At least choose a product that has less of synthetic components and more of naturals. Never go for a shampoo full of chemicals, just because it gives tons of lather!

Prevent Hair Fall and Dandruff the Natural Way

Hair Loss Treatment & Natural Hair Loss Prevention

One of the most effective hair loss treatment options involves safe, natural ways to stop the loss of hair as well as promote new hair growth, without the potential adverse reactions of prescription medications.

There are a number of natural vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and other powerful nutrients that have been shown to be quite effective in the war against baldness.

Hair Loss

What causes us to lose hair?

A variety of factors play a role in hair loss, including stress, nutrient deficiencies, free radical damage (toxins) and a lack of antioxidants. Hormone levels and heredity also influence the onset and severity of hair loss.

The majority of men suffering from baldness or thinning hair have a condition known as androgenetic alopecia, caused by an accumulation of DHT, a chemically-altered version of the hormone testosterone. DHT blocks hair follicles and inhibits new growth.

How do natural hair loss solutions work?

As the buildup of DHT is a major cause of baldness, natural hair loss treatment focuses on vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts that can inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT. As a result, there are lower levels of DHT in the scalp, reducing further hair loss.

Let's take a look at some of the most effective natural hair loss solutions:

Saw Palmetto - this powerful extract has been shown to reduce DHT levels and unblock hair follicles. It is also helpful in preventing prostate problems, which are also due to DHT accumulation.

Gotu Kola - this hair loss remedy can simulate hair and nail growth. It can remove scar tissue blocking new hair and strengthen connective tissues around follicles.

Nettles - can be applied topically or internally to stimulate growth and prevent baldness. This hair loss treatment can also darken gray hair and improve follicle strength.

Vitamin B6 - a deficiency can lead to increased hair loss. Vitamin B family are important for maintaining hair health

Magnesum & Zinc - two very important minerals for stimulating and maintaining hair growth and reducing thinning hair and baldness.

All of these nutrients can be used for hair loss prevention as well as promoting hair health and regrowth. They can be found as individual supplements, but may be more effective in comprehensive formulas where the nutrients can work together and enhance their therapeutic benefits.

The best part of natural hair loss treatment is that you can avoid the potential side effects of prescription hair loss medications, which have been known to cause irritation, oily skin, acne breakouts and in some cases, sexual problems including impotence and decreased libido.

Learn about natural hair loss treatment and discover how you may be able to stop hair loss and promote new growth today without taking prescription drugs.
