Baldness is common to those who are suffering from alopecia. This happens when the hair starts being excessively shed (that is, more than 50 to 100 hair shafts per day) and gradually the scalp becomes very visible. With the condition not only affecting the physical appearance of a person but also his/her emotional and psychosocial status, treatments for hair loss are greatly in demand.
But a lot of hair loss sufferers have stopped using the usual treatments—topical minoxidil and the oral drug finasteride—or resorting to hair transplantation due to the cost, risks, and side effects that come with them. Instead, herbal home remedies have become one of the main options in effectively treating alopecia.
Home Remedies for Hair Loss
1. Apply the white of a raw egg on the hair for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. A mixture of lemon juice and egg white could also be used to strengthen the roots of hair.
2. Massage the head with oil for 15–20 minutes and then rinse with a shampoo. A hot oil massage with olive oil will also help.
3. Apply a mixture of lemon juice and juice of amla to the scalp. This also helps control dandruff in the hair.
4. Boil neem leaves in water for an hour and let it cool. Wash the hair with this water. Alternately neem oil can be mixed with coconut oil and massaged on the scalp to reduce the rate of hair fall.
5. The juice of fresh coriander can be massaged onto the scalp; this will reduce hair loss.
6. Ensure that you eat nutritious food, with plenty of leafy vegetables. Have a soya milk drink and multivitamin tablets along with a healthy breakfast.
7. Apply conditioner through the whole length of your hair, from roots to tips. Conditioners, especially if formulated with rosemary extracts, can strengthen the hair roots and hair shafts.
8. Try to reduce stress and tension in your life, learn to relax. Stress causes hair loss.
