Effective Ways to Help Stop Losing Hair

By Jenny Morrison


If you have a hair loss problem, you can approach it in many ways. You can take prescription or over the counter medications.

Another option is transplant surgery if you have the means. Some who can't afford surgery opt for wigs. Many people, however, like to try natural remedies that are generally safer and less expensive than the other options. In this article, we'll be exploring some of the best natural, herbal and folk remedies for hair loss.

Among the natural hair loss remedies, coconut oil is most widely used, and it isn't just used for treating hair loss, but it's used for other skin ailments as well. You can now find many hair care products that contain coconut oil, but it's most beneficial to buy pure coconut oil. To use coconut oil as a hair loss treatment, slightly heat it up and then gently massage it into the scalp. The gentle massaging action coupled with the healing properties of coconut oil will promote better circulation in the scalp, encouraging better hair growth. Alternatively, coconut oil can also be consumed. Your body, including the hair, will benefit from coconut oil because coconut oil is actually one of the healthy fats. Coconut milk has also been found to be an effective hair loss solution and you can consume it as well. Some people report their hair loss slowing down after using coconut milk.

Scalp massage is a treatment for hair loss that has not been scientifically proven, but it might still help. What is known is that a scalp massage can promote better blood flow. You can buy various types of scalp massagers, and these are not very expensive and are quite enjoyable to use, or you could have someone give you a scalp massage by rubbing oils into your scalp. There are several oils you can use for scalp massage that will provide therapeutic benefits, but the more popular ones are jojoba oil, coconut oil, and tea tree oil. Even if you don't have a scalp massager or anyone nearby to give you a massage, you can massage your own scalp.

A soft brush or just your hands and fingers will work. Regularly massaging your scalp will make your circulation better and could even reduce hair loss.

Another cheap and safe way you can stop hair loss is with green tea. Your whole body, not just your hair, stands to benefit from green tea. Green tea is full of catechins, which are antioxidants that have DHT-inhibiting properties. DHT is a chemical substance that our body produces and it's also what causes pattern baldness in men and women. Get this benefit by making sure you drink several cups of green tea on a daily basis. It also has the same stimulant properties of coffee minus the harshness. However, if drinking green tea every day isn't really appealing to you, you can take it in capsule form. Green tea is also used in many hair care products, and it can be therapeutic when used in this manner as well. Green tea has so many beneficial properties that it's used to treat so many ailments. It isn't a surprise that it has properties that can prevent hair loss.

You've just learned a few natural remedies for hair loss that are not only inexpensive, but are effective and safe to use. They have been used in many places around the world for a long time and with success. There are many other such remedies out there. Many of these are made from items you can easily buy at the supermarket or even grow yourself. You'll never know if your hair loss problem can be solved by any of these natural remedies unless you give them a fair shake. If they end up working for you then you would've just saved yourself a lot of money on expensive procedures and medications.
