subject: Hair Regrowth - Treatment For Hair Loss [print this page] While medical or synthetic hair loss treatments are proven to be effective and have little or no adverse side effects, there are people who prefer a natural approach to prevent hair loss. Not all herbs are equally effective for everyone, and it is best to consult a physician first before embarking on a natural hair loss treatment regimen.
Treatment centering on cellular revival making use of the patient's plasma, is one of the recently devised techniques to cause hair growth. As part of the allopathic treatment with regard to hair loss, treatment based on Vitamin supplements is also in vogue.
It is always advised to wash your hands after the hair treatment application since there are certain products which may be harmful.
One should allow the treatment to dry normally and various products like hair dryers should not be used.
Tea Tree Oil - This is a staple in almost all hair loss home remedies because of its healing properties. Nighttime masques and massage ointments will work with tea tree oil.
However, adding just a drop to your shampoo in the morning, and then lightly scrubbing it into your scalp while you wash, will nourish the spot to help fend off the attack until the night time therapy.
Minoxidil is the active ingredient in topical solutions that are effective in hair regrowth. It is most effective in the initial stages of hair loss. It was initially used to treat hypertension, with the unexpected side effect of growth. The product is applied directly to balding or thinning spots on the scalp.
Onion Juice: It is one of the most trusted remedies of all times. What you have to do is to peel one small onion and grate half of it. Squeeze out the juice from the onion and add honey to the juice. Apply this mixture on the patches where you are losing hair (the bald patches) and keep it on overnight. Additional tip: Cover it with a towel or a cloth to avoid the smell and shampoo your hair the next morning.
Saw Palmetto inhibits the buildup of DHT. High levels of DHT prevent the hair follicles from absorbing nutrients. The hair follicles shrink and stop producing normal hair. Topical preparations made from saw palmetto extract are applied to the scalp where it is readily absorbed by the skin. Saw palmetto is effective in treating male pattern baldness, which is linked to increased levels of DHT.
