The dream of most people is to have luxurious and manageable hair that always looks good. Unfortunately, many of the products and hair treatments that are done in salons are actually very harsh on your hair. You might end up with split ends, dry hair, and hair loss, if you choose to style your hair too often.Of course, hair thinning and hair loss can be caused by various reasons, and while it may seem impossible to grow your hair back, there are quite a few remedies that can help you achieve this. Taking care of your health is the first step to luxurious and glossy hair, so make sure to adopt a healthy lifestyle with plenty of rest, enough exercise, and a balanced diet.
You can not only regrow the hair that you have lost for various reasons, but you can also help your hair grow longer and faster than before. The key is to use some simple home remedies on a regular basis, and you will notice the hair regrowth quite rapidly. Be advised that genetic pattern hair loss needs prevention rather than a cure. Once the hair follicle has shrunk too much, hair growth is compromised and the follicle will no longer produce hair. This normally happens in men, and only very rarely in women who have inherited this gene.
Here are some simple remedies that will help you grow your hair and that also prevent further hair loss. They should be followed for at least 2 to 3 months in order to achieve results:
1. Curry leaves and coconut oil is a recipe used in India for making hair softer and help it grow faster, while it also regenerates it and nourishes the scalp skin. You will need a handful of fresh curry leaves for this recipes and two cups of coconut oil/butter. Grind the curry leaves and mix them with the coconut oil in a pot. Boil the mixture on a low flame until you get a paste with dark residues on the bottom. Let it rest for about a day, and then strain the oil and use it as a hair mask. Leave the mask on during the night time, and wash with a degreasing shampoo the next morning. This mixture helps you grow new hair, regenerates existing hair, and prevents premature grey hairs.
2. Henna and egg shampoo is a natural option to normal shampoo that is usually too harsh for those with hair issues. Henna is a natural degreaser and it helps the hair growth process, while egg nourishes the scalp and prevents any further hair loss. You will need one cup of natural henna powder (check that is doesn’t contain any other chemicals), two eggs, one cup of water, and ½ cup of fresh lemon juice. Mix the henna powder with the water and eggs until you form a paste. Leave it for half an hour and then add the lemon juice, and apply the paste to your whole hair. Leave the mask on for a few hours or for a whole night if you can (by wrapping your hair in a plastic bag). Wash thoroughly by using only lukewarm water, and also be aware that henna is a natural hair dye also. It can make brown hair slightly reddish, and it is not advisable to use this on blonde hair. Dark hair will not be affected by the henna pigment.
3. Onion juice and honey treatment is perfect against hair loss, thinning hair, and it helps the hair that has fallen out to grow back stronger. Onion juice stimulates hair growth, and it is also full of antibiotic and antiseptic substances that prevent any bacterial or fungal infections. Honey is great for your hair as it nourishes the roots, and it also has some amazing antibacterial properties. You will need to make ¾ cup of fresh onion juice (use a juice extractor or crush the onion until you get enough juice), and two tablespoons of honey. Mix the ingredients and apply the mask to your scalp, and also massage the area gently. Leave the mask on for a few hours or for a whole night (cover you pillow with a towel). Then wash your hair with a mild shampoo, and the smell will also disappear.
In addition, one can’t avoid hair loss if the body has to get rid of too many accumulated toxins, which are the results of a poor diet. You can help your hair grow back faster and stronger by having a nutrient rich diet. Good hair foods include: fish and seafood, red meats, egg yolks, walnuts, leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid junk foods and anything that comes in a plastic bag or can, as much as possible, and you can achieve healthy hair and an excellent overall health.
