Is Your Hair Falling Out Excessively? Remedies For Female Hair Loss

Is your hair falling out excessively? Remedies for female hair loss

It is estimated that twenty-five million women in America alone suffer from hair loss or female pattern baldness. Although on the surface female hair-loss may resemble male pattern baldness, it is actually quite different structurally. Women lose their hair for many reasons, including genetics, hormones, and even stress. So, what do you do if you find yourself in this same situation? Here are a few tips to keep the hair that you have, and to help re-grow the hair that you have lost:

\"Great Hair\"

1. Massage your scalp often.

Is Your Hair Falling Out Excessively? Remedies For Female Hair Loss

Anytime that you shampoo your hair you should use scalp friendly, non-drying shampoo that clarifies and frees your hair of residue buildup. Take an extra couple of minutes to massage your scalp while in the shower or bath. You can also use warm olive oil, or oil specifically designed for scalp use. The massage will stimulate the hair follicles, promoting hair growth.

2. Keep your hair free.

A symptom of hair loss is fragile hair, so you need to keep your hair free from chemicals or high heat. Also, you should trim your hair often, and use styling products sparingly. Try to cut your hair where you are able to wear it down. Barrettes and ponytail holders can cause significant damage even to healthy hair.

3. Use a professional hair growth formula.

There are many great hair growth products on the market, but many of them are formulated specifically for male pattern baldness. One product that is formulated for women is Provillus by Provillus Corporation. Provillus is a food supplement that nourishes the scalp to stimulate and reactivate hair follicles. One of the main causes of hair loss in women is a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestostrone.) Provillus acts as a DHT suppressant, thereby reducing hair loss.

Provillus is the only topical and dietary supplement approved by the FDA to regrow hair for women.

Natural Hair Loss Remedies

Fact: There is no sure-fire way to prevent all hair loss. However, some methods that have been used work on some people. Here are some suggestions for natural remedies to hair loss. Massage Massaging the scalp in general for a couple of minutes a day can stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles and in mild cases stimulate some hair growth in minor cases of temporary hair loss. There are several electric massagers on the market that have an attachment for scalp massaging as well. An oriental method called Qi Gong (pronounced Chi Kung) has been used to increase circulation to the scalp and face also. Aromatherapy A blend of six drops each of lavender and bay essential oils in a base of four ounces of either almond, soybean or sesame oil massaged into the scalp and allowed to sit for 20 minutes has been used by aroma therapists to stimulate the scalp. Saw Palmetto Extract There is a definite connection between the prostate and hair loss for men. Saw Palmetto has been found to work in fighting benign prostatic disease by lowering levels of DHT, which is a known cause of androgenetic alopecia. Saw Palmetto extract is an effective anti-androgen and shows promise as an effective treatment for hair loss prevention. More information on Saw Palmetto for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Women on oral contraceptives or hormone therapy should not take Saw Palmetto. Nettle Root Extract Nettles are rich in vitamins A and C, several key minerals and lipids that can be beneficial to the hair. Nettle Root Extract has been used successfully in Europe as an inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase in treating BPH. Rosemary and Sage Rosemary and sage are two herbs that have shown benefit traditionally when used externally. Boil together in water rosemary, sage, peach leaf, nettle and burdock. Then strain the loose herbs from the liquid and use the liquid to wash the hair daily. Jojoba Oil If you are predisposed to seborrhea, eczema, psoriasis, or dandruff, you could consider using jojoba oil. Mexicans and southwestern Native American nations have used jojoba oil traditionally for centuries to promote hair growth and the control of dandruff. Jojoba oil is great for hypoallergenic skin because it is a great moisturizer and mimics the scalp's own sebum. Aloe Vera Aloe Vera has been used by Native Americans, Indians and many in the Caribbean to promote healthy hair and prevent hair loss. Aloe's can help the scalp by healing it and balancing the pH level of the scalp while cleansing the pores. A common preparation of Aloe Vera gel with a small amount of wheat germ oil and coconut milk is used as a shampoo and has traditionally shown great benefit. Henna Henna is a traditional Indian herb that acts as a natural conditioner and is excellent for the maintenance of healthy hair. It can help heal the hair shaft by repairing and sealing the cuticle, protecting hair against breakage and loss of shine. Polysorbate-80 Polysorbate-80 is an FDA approved surfactant that is also approved as a food additive. Although not proven, Polysorbate-80 is said to remove deposits of DHT and cholesterol from the scalp. Polysorbate-80 is being recommended by some naturopathic practitioners as an application for the scalp approximately 15 minutes prior to shampooing. Cleansing and Detoxification Cleansing should be a major part of your regimen to maintain and grow hair. Many scalp related diseases are directly the result of toxemia, while toxins in the body adversely affecting the body's systems indirectly affect other conditions. Cleansing can be performed through oral means regularly and occasionally by enema or colonic irrigation. More remedies for detoxification Psyllium husk Fiber is vital to cleansing, and most North American diets are deficient in natural fiber. Psyllium husk is a bulking laxative agent that can be used to safely move waste through the colon. Psyllium is a very good substance as it gently scrubs the walls of the colon to remove waste that is stuck to the walls.

Exercise Finally, although exercise does absolutely nothing directly to grow hair, most holistic practitioners recommend it. Exercising can improve blood flow, the delivery of oxygen to the cells of the body, and help the digestion of foods, all things that aid the health of hair follicles.

Hair Growth Remedies At Home

According to Hair Science, hair normally grows about ¼ inch to ½ inch per month. That means that some people have hair that grows slower than others and some people have hair that grows faster than others, however the growing rate should be normal for you. We also shed about 50-80 hairs per day, give or take. (L'oreal, 2011) That might sound excessive but it is what it is.

In order to maximize hair growth, it is necessary to keep your hair nourished. It is far better to start with a healthy body to ensure healthy hair. According to an article from Web MD, there are ten top foods associated to the secrets to hair growth:

Great Hair Secrets

Essential omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support scalp health (if you lack a deficiency in these it can result in a dry scalp and your hair will be dull and lifeless). If you are vegetarian you can add flaxseed oil or ground flaxseed to your daily diet for an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids.

• Dark green vegetables such as spinach, kale, collards, and broccoli and fruits like cherries, blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, raspberries and plums, are rich in vitamin A, C (antioxidants), iron and calcium. These fruits and vegetables help to produce sebum, which is a natural hair conditioner and is secreted by your hair follicles.
• Beans contain iron, zinc, biotin, and lots of protein which is necessary for hair growth and really should be a part of a healthy hair growth diet.
• Eggs are full of protein which is an excellent source for hair growth.
• Whole grain breads, and cereals are an excellent source of zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
• Beef, lamb and oysters are a good source of zinc.
• Turkey and chicken are both great sources of protein.
• Nuts, like walnuts and Brazil nuts another great source of protein.
• Dairy products that are low in fat such as yogurt and skim milk are high in calcium, another necessity for hair growth.
• Carrots are not only good for the eyes but also contribute to healthy shiny hair and are an excellent source of vitamin A.

Having healthy hair is a two-part commitment. Now that we have the internal requirements let's talk about external requirements. Utilizing some simple hair growth home remedies such as keeping your hair moisturized is essential to keeping it well nourished with some of the best oils for hair growth. Using the oil treatment about twice a week will encourage growth. Just mix some olive oil, coconut oil and almond oil in equal amounts and warm it in your microwave (just warm to the touch).

It might be easier to put the oil in a small bottle with a pointed tip to make it easier to apply. Apply the oil to your scalp and massage it in for about 3 minutes to stimulate your scalp. You can use a heat cap for about 20-30 minutes or you can put on a plastic cap and wrap your hair in a turban overnight. Shampoo with proper shampoo. Use warm water if you have oily hair and lukewarm water for dry hair. Using water that is too hot is not good for your hair (Parker, 2011). Stay tuned for more tips on hair growth.
