Tips To Beat Hair Loss and Improve Hair Health Naturally
Hair Health Care
Whilst there are many hair loss treatments available for hair loss and hair health, here are some home remedies that you can try. The essential oils suitable for treating alopecia include ylang ylang, roman chamomile, rosemary, lemon, lavender, grapefruit, and bay. Try this blend of oils:
- 3 drops of lavender
- 3 drops of rosemary
- 2 drops of thyme
- 2 drops of Atlas cedar wood
You can’t put essential oils directly onto the skin or scalp, they have to be mixed in a carrier oil. Use a half a teaspoon of jojoba oil and 4 teaspoons of grapeseed oil. Use a warm towel to wrap your head in afterwards. If you have thinning hair, chances are you need to address a nutritional imbalance. Increase these nutrients in your diet:
This makes hair shine, and its also great for treating dandruff.
- Pumpkin seeds, oysters, and nuts – These are great food sources of zinc. Zinc is needed for strong hair and normal hair growth.
- Cucumber and oats – These foods are fantastic sources of silica. Silica is important for hair health, and is used when hair splits easily, or starts to thin. Silica is also great for skin health – it’s a real beauty mineral.
- Edible Seaweed, parsley, tofu, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds – Iron is important in hair health, and these foods are rich in it. An iron deficiency causes hair loss. But if you’re thinking of taking an iron supplement, get your iron levels tested by your doctor first as iron is a fat soluble vitamin which means that it is stored in your body.
- Eggs, fish and chicken – Hair is made of protein. So, if you’re deficient in protein, your hair health may be affected.
- Brown rice, nuts and seeds – These are rich in the B vitamins. As well as being great for stress, the B vitamins strengthen the hair shaft. The B vitamins work together synergistically.
- Leafy greens – Leafy greens, as well as having lots of other vitamins, are rich in folic acid. Folic acid is a type of B vitamin.
