Looking for a hair loss remedy? Not sure if you should try minoxidil or finasteride? Thinking about making an appointment with your doctor to discuss your thinning hair?
There are several effective hair loss remedies and it’s probably wise to start by talking to your doctor. There’s more than one cause for hair loss, and different types of hair loss require different treatments.
Not every hair loss remedy is effective, though. People have been trying to come up with a cure for baldness for centuries, and have found some pretty innovative treatments. None of the following treatments has FDA approval, and none has been tested in large-scale studies. No claims are made for their effectiveness.
Every do-it-yourself home hair loss remedy is either taken by mouth or rubbed onto the scalp.
Hair Loss Remedy Preparations Taken by Mouth
Drink a glass of any of these remedies each day:
* Coriander leaf (cilantro) juice
* 1 tsp apple cider vinegar in water
* Smoothie of banana, honey, yogurt and skim milk
* Juice mixture of any of the following: alfalfa, lettuce, fresh spinach, cilantro
New Hair Loss Remedy Preparations to Rub on the Head
Over the centuries, people have massaged these concoctions into their heads to treat baldness:
* Mix 1 cup mustard oil with 4 tablespoons of henna leaves
* Use amla oil, either alone or mixed with coconut milk and/or lime juice
* Mix equal parts of alcohol, borox and quinine. (Don’t try this at home—it could give you a nasty rash)
* Rub cow dung onto the bald spot (not in my house…)
* Mix a chopped onion & 20 birch leaves in a bottle of alcohol. (There’s no mention of what kind of alcohol…)
* Grind a piece licorice and mix with a little saffron in skim milk (Do you know how much saffron costs? And you want to rub it on your head?)
* Use coconut milk
* Or aloe vera juice
* Mix honey and egg yolk and apply to the scalp
* Rub the bald spot with an onion until it’s red, then rub honey into it
* Mix castor oil and almond oil, warm it and rub into scalp
* Grind black peppercorn with either lemon or lime seeds and rub the paste on thinning spots.
* Put raw mango pulp in a jar of oil and leave it to age for a year, then rub it on your head
* Make a paste of warm olive oil, honey and cinnamon
The bottom line is this: don’t take your hair loss too seriously and don’t take any of these DIY hair loss remedies too seriously! A bald head can be beautiful.
