There are many different reasons why a person suffers from hair loss, hair thinning or balding which would require the use of a hair loss remedy. Sometimes it is just the natural course of nature, with men’s hair naturally balding as they grow older. Other times it can be related to sickness, stress or even pregnancy with women. One important thing when researching any remedy for hair loss is to first of all determine why it is happening.
For example, many women suffer minimal hair loss when pregnant due to a decrease in the oestrogen levels in their body whilst pregnant. No female hair loss remedy is needed for this, as once the baby is born hair regrowth will occur and hair loss should cease. Female hair loss that occurs at the onset of menopause, though, which is caused by the same reason–lowered levels of oestrogen–can be remedied via hormone treatment.
The first course of action, then, if you are suffering from hair loss is to consult with a medical practitioner or a hair consultant and try to determine what is causing it. Once you have a good idea why you are losing hair you can then decide what you can do to prevent this.
There are many different commercial products that help reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth, ranging from expensive procedures such as laser hair replacement therapy or hair transplants, to medication or shampoos and other topical therapies.
If you would rather try a natural hair loss remedy first, before trying more expensive treatments, there is a wealth of different things to choose from. One of the benefits of trying a natural remedy is that if it works you have saved yourself a lot of expense. If you try something and it doesn’t work you haven’t lost anything except a bit of time, and you can simply try other more expensive treatments then. I have found the first course of action if you want to learn how to make your hair grow faster is to control your diet. Drink plenty of water each day, eat a balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Also, be sure you are taking your vitamins. Many people claim biotin or vitamin B7 is effective but medical studies have been inconclusive. You are probably better off just taking a good multivitamin.
Some popular home remedies for hair loss include things such as massaging and stimulating blood flow to the scalp. In essence this is what laser hair therapy does, it uses laser beams to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and thus encourage new hair growth. Regular massaging could also potentially do the same thing, and could be a very simple home remedy for hair loss.
Other recommendations include rubbing an oil or other natural ingredient into the scalp, such as olive oil, coconut oil or even castor oil. Other treatments suggest combining ingredients such as olive oil, rosemary, the juice of one lemon and an egg yolk. Or perhaps you could try to extract the juice from green coriander leaves and use that.
Remember though, no matter what home or natural remedy you try, you really should try it for at least a month or two as even with commercial and chemical treatments, they often don’t show immediate results. All hair loss products take time to work on the conditions that caused the baldness or thinning. After all, you didn’t lose all your hair in just one month.
