Hair loss comes from a number of sources, including genetics, poor nutrition and improper hair care. The average person losses approximately 100 hairs per day, however, if hair is lost in higher quantities, natural remedies can help to regain lost hair. Natural remedies are easy to make, inexpensive and effective. Because they do not contain harsh chemicals and preservatives, they are often an ideal option for many people who suffer from hair loss and are sensitive to products on the market. In addition to these natural remedies, incorporate a multivitamin into your daily routine. Vitamin deficiency is can contribute to hair loss.
Puncture five capsules of flaxseed oil and massage them into your scalp. Flaxseed oil will increase blood flow and circulation to the scalp, stimulating hair follicles and encouraging new hair growth. Allow the flaxseed oil to absorb into your scalp for 30 minutes and then wash it out with shampoo.
Apply a raw egg to your scalp and hair before shampooing. Eggs are full of vitamins and protein that nourish the scalp and contribute to new hair growth. Take care when rinsing the egg out of hair, as water that is too hot will scramble the egg.
Combine 1 cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup of water. Pour the apple cider vinegar over your head while you're in the shower but before you wash your hair. Allow the mixture to soak into the scalp for 5 minutes and then rinse it out and shampoo your hair. Apple cider vinegar balances pH levels on the scalp and helps to remove dead skin cells.
Massage your scalp daily. This is important because it stimulates hair follicles that are not getting enough circulation and encourages blood to flow and support new and healthy hair growth.
Apply olive oil to your scalp and cover with a shower cap. Leave the olive oil on overnight. Wash your hair as usual the next morning to remove the oil. Olive oil is clarifying to the scalp and hair follicles.
Tip
Use extra virgin olive oil for the overnight scalp treatment. Extra virgin olive oil is the least processed and most beneficial to the skin.
Warning
Take care not to get vinegar in your eyes.
