Natural Hair Loss and Hair Beautifying Remedies

Filed under: Uncategorized, causes of hair loss, hair loss treatment, hair thinning, how to grow hair — Candace @ 2:04 pm

Hair loss is a complex issue to deal with at a young age. If you wish to grow your hair fast, or grow your hair back, these tips will help you!

1. Aloe Vera – You can purchase pure Aloe Vera gel at most drugstores. To stimulate hair growth, after shampooing, apply a generous amount of Aloe Vera gel to your scalp and massage methodically, then rinse. Aloe Vera will reduce any tenderness and provoke skin growth.
2. Henna – Red henna is a natural herb customarily used as conditioner. Prevent hair from breaking and getting split ends and it gives hair a ton of shine.
3. Rosemary and Sage – Boil equal amounts of rosemary and sage. You may use the stems and leaves. Strain out the liquid. If available, add very little Castile soap and create a shampoo. Use this twice weekly. Rosemary and sage together purify pores and stimulate hair follicles while conditioning the scalp.
4. Exercise – Exercise is not directly attributed to hair growth, but it is highly suggested. Exercise does develop your blood flow and thus the delivery of oxygen to your body, therefore indirectly helping your hair grow.
5. Oil – Mix equivalent amounts of olive oil, almond oil, and coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave it for a few seconds until it is warm. Massage your scalp with the mixture. If you are able to keep this on overnight, do so (by wrapping your hair in a thin cotton fabric), if you are unable to, leave it in for at least an hour before rinsing out.
6. Onion – Onion juice is said to considerable help grow hair. Rub onion juice into your hair once a week, leaving it on for two hours at the least, and 4 hours at the most.
7. Brush – Brush your hair upside-down. Put your head between your legs and brush from the root to the tip. Do this twice a day to encourage your hairs growth.
8. Dilute your shampoo – Shampoo can clog your pores and stunt hair growth. Dilute your shampoo with a little water to prevent pore clogging.
9. Vodka – Mix a sliced onion, a bay leaf, and a cup of vodka. Cover with Saran Wrap and let sit for one week. After the week is up add a cup of rose water. Massage this into your scalp each morning and night.
10. Mustard seeds – Boil a cup of water. Add 5 mL (1 tsp) of mustard seeds. Cook this for 5 minutes and then cool. Drink it weekly to help grow hair.

Other ingredients used to grow hair are lemon, egg yolk, brussel sprouts (eaten), nettle tea or capsules (eaten), coriander extract, castor oil, cumin, and coconut milk. Hair growth shampoos or medications may be necessary.

Top 5 Reasons For Hair Loss

Filed under: Uncategorized, anxiety, anxious, causes of hair loss, chemotherapy, depression, eczema, hair loss, hair loss treatment, seborrhea, stress — John @ 3:34 pm

As most men age, they begin to experience hair loss, sometimes even starting while in their teen years. However, most men don’t really know, or really even try to prevent hair loss. Additionally, some women also experience hair loss, but instead of just accepting it, as most men do, they become very anxious. However, there are some ways that you can avoid losing your hair simply by first, eating a healthy diet and second, attempting to avoid the other main causes of hair loss.

Hormonal Abnormalities - There are certain hormonal problems that have been shown to lead to hair loss. Some of these abnormalities include elevated levels of testosterone, too much or too little thyroid hormone, high insulin levels, and polycystic ovary syndrome (women with elevated levels of testosterone and insulin).

Local Trauma - Putting stress on your hair can cause very serious damage that could lead to hair loss. Things like cornrows or putting your hair in tight hairbands can cause the breaking of hair at the base. Some chemical treatments, like hair dye, can damage the follicles, especially if the use of chemicals occurs often. Certain insects, such as lice can also contribute to hair loss.

Scalp Inflammation - Certain skin condition that cause inflammation, like eczema, seborrhea, and psoriasis, can lead to hair loss in patches that often have red and scaly skin underneath. Bacterial and fungal scalp infections can cause problems similar to inflammatory skin conditions. However, an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata can cause patches of hair loss with any redness.

Medications - When you start taking certain medications, you may notice some hair loss. Among the most common medications that cause hair loss are steroids and chemotherapy. Medications may result in temporary or even permanent hair loss, but if they’re saving your life I would think this would be one of those times to just accept the fact that you’re probably going to have to give up your hair on this one.

Psychological Factors - Many psychological conditions are actually very common for causing hair loss. Among these psychological factors are, stress, anxiety, depression …etc. While many people do not know these factors cause hair loss, or even realize that these psychological factors are affecting them. Try to find some time during the day that you can just relax, even if it’s just 5 minutes. If you begin to notice different habits forming or feelings of constant sadness you may be developing depression and you should probably talk to a doctor.

Additionally, there are certain medications and creams that can be used to restore hair to your scalp. Talk with a doctor before using these medicines to make sure they are safe for you.

Male Pattern Baldness

Filed under: Propecia, Uncategorized, balding, baldness, causes of hair loss, hair loss, hair loss treatment, how to grow hair, male pattern baldness, thinning hair — Amanda @ 5:10 pm

At some point, all men will experience hair loss. Nearly all men experience baldness by the time they are in their 60’s. We all know it’s going to happen – but what causes it? Is there anything you can do to prevent it?

Hair is produced out of follicles in the skin that grow for about 3 years. After 3 years the hair is shed and a new hair begins growing from that follicle. When men get older, the follicles on their heads have been believed to get smaller, resulting in thinning hair. Eventually the follicle closes up so that no new hair is visible on the surface. A change in male hormones may be the reason follicles close up. Normal or lower levels of testosterone are apparent in men who are balding.

There is no cure for baldness, it is a natural part of aging, however there are medications such as Propecia that are designed to treat men with male pattern baldness by allowing them to grow hair. There are also topical ointments like Minoxidil or Rogaine that work for some men, but there is no guarantee that medications and creams will work for everyone. The best thing to do is accept the change – besides, all of your friends are going bald too.

Ways To Prevent Or Slow Down Hair Loss

Filed under: Uncategorized, balding, baldness, causes of hair loss, hair growth, hair loss, hair loss treatment, hair thinning, male pattern baldness — John @ 4:23 pm

If you live in North America then you’ll be sad to hear that there is more baldness happening amongst the population than in Europe. Why? Well it’s no coincidence. Actually the main reason is the different diets. American diets in particular are much worse for the body than the average European diet. This probably has something to do with the fact that American diets consist of a lot of fatty foods and animal proteins, while many fruits and vegetable tend to mysteriously disappear from many menus.

The good news is there are ways to prevent or at least slow down hair loss. Yes, that’s right there are treatments for when you start to lose your hair. Now this is that point when you ask,”But John aren’t you going to tell us how we can avoid the loss of our precious hair?” Well I’m glad you asked, and yes, I am going to tell you some methods that may help prevent or slow down the process of losing your hair. I am however, going to warn you. It might be hard at times, you might have to eat gasp dare I say it, healthy food, you might not like it, you might not want to eat it… but then again you could very well like it who knows.

First of all, let me start with what is probably the second most difficult thing to overcome when trying to keep you hair. I’ll tell you the first thing later. Okay, obviously as many of you have probably guessed already the first thing I will touch on is diet. If you don’t want to end up looking like a bowling ball then you are going to have to change some of the things you’re putting in your body. The typical American diet focuses on a high fat, high-salt diet. Now having fast food every once in a while is acceptable, but having it once a week is not. Why not trying to go home and cook and healthy meal that has appropriate portions of a variety of foods. Yes, I will say you should have some sort of vegetables and fruits on there. Really they do taste good. This is the first step to saving your hair.

However, if your diet is healthy then you may be chemically damaging your hair. Ever heard of those things called dyes? Yeah, well if you use them then they might be contributing to your hair loss. Regular supply of chemicals to your hair to change the color isn’t the greatest thing to ensure longevity. Sure it’ll look good for a bit (unless you dye it some weird neon green) but once it starts to fall out I’m sure you might regret your decision a bit.

However, if you are doing neither of these things then you may have a more difficult obstacle to overcome. Genetics. Your genes are the most difficult thing to overcome. You can’t change your genes…yet. However, you can do some things to slow the speed of hair loss. Vitamin E, golden maidenhair, red sage extracts, and formulas that contain a mix of turmeric with horsetail or oat straw have been proven to slow the speed at which you hair is lost. Also a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in starch may be beneficial.

For women there are three things that may also cause you to start balding. Any hormone change can definitely cause hair loss even if it’s temporary. This mainly occurs during/after pregnancy, during menopause, and occasionally when you take birth control.

Hopefully you’ve found something in this article that actually helps you with your hair problems. You may have found a hair loss treatment that works for you. Maybe you just wanted to stop hair thinning. Either way best of luck.
