Alopecia refers to the loss of hair on the head. It is a common disorder which usually affects men although it is known to affect some women also. There are tons of treatments and remedies for hair loss and finding one, which will work for you can get confusing with so many varied options. However, there are a few natural remedies, which can help in hair loss prevention and promote healthy hair growth.
1. A balanced diet is not only crucial to remain fit, but it is also essential for maintaining healthy and lustrous hair. The vitamins and nutrients present in foods help in promoting hair growth, while increasing the strength of hair. Overall, good food and regular exercise also play a major role in natural hair loss prevention and treatment.
2. Onion is believed to have hair regrowth properties due to its high sulfur content. One remedy calls for rubbing half an onion on the scalp until the scalp reddens before washing hair.
3. There are some natural remedies for hair loss including Amla oil which is prepared by bringing dry pieces of alma and coconut oil to the boil.
An equal mix of amla and lime juice can be used as a shampoo to boost hair growth and to prevent further loss. One cup of lettuce and spinach juice drunken daily can also prevent or slow the hair loss process.
4. One of the easiest ways to put a stop to hair loss is by massaging your head with olive oil and Castor oil separately, and preferably leave it overnight. Do this for 10 days and you should see a noticeable change in the quality of your hair. Also, if you are comfortable with a bit of uneasiness for the sake of your hair, take 2-3 garlic cloves and squeeze the juice onto your head and massage it in. Leave it overnight and shower in the morning. Since garlic contains sulphur, which is needed by your hair to grow, you might even see re-growth if you do it regularly for a few weeks. Even though natural oils help a lot in stopping hair loss on the long term, you should also try out some potentially powerful and very useful herbal remedies for external application to your scalp.
5. Both pastes of red pepper and safflower oil, rubbed on the scalp are believed to open up blood vessels and increase blood flow to the scalp. The theory holds that in turn, follicles receive better nourishment which improves hair growth.
6. Castor oil or the seed of lime and some black pepper which has been prepared into a fine paste is also a good natural remedy. Licorice and milk ground with a pinch of saffron can also be used to stimulate the folicles. Add one gram of black pepper to 100 grams of curd and apply it to your scalp, wash your hair with this in warm water once a week.
