Hair Loss Remedies

Whilst there are a number of well-known chemical treatments for hair loss these days, there are also a fair few home remedies which can help. We often recommend that the first line of treatment that someone tries is a home remedy. This avoids consuming potent drugs which might carry the risk of adverse side effects.

So what are the most common home hair loss remedies? Let’s go through a few of the top things you can do to prevent or stop hair loss, without visiting your doctor.

Top Hair Loss Remedies

Following are a few of the top hair loss remedies to both prevent and halt the process of hair loss. Try each of them out to see whether they work for you. In a recent double blind study, each of them was shown to be effective about 70% of the time!

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is an excellent remedy for stopping hair loss once it has started. This home remedy can be used by both women and men. Basically, the idea behind ACV is that once you consume it – it has an alkaline effect on the body.

When the bodies pH level rises above 8, it is considered to be alkaline. Hence, even though ACV is actually acidic in nature, the resulting effect after it has passed through the gut is an alkaline one. So why does this help? Well – take a look at the following flow chart:

  • Apple Cider Vinegar is consumed.
  • An alkaline effect is noticed on the body.
  • Less itching and flaking of the scalp.
  • Less chance of hair being damaged and falling out.

As you can see, ACV probably won’t address hair loss which has resulted from a chemical imbalance in the skin. However, nonetheless, it will be able to help if the cause of your hair loss is simply from a dry or poorly conditioned scalp.

Coal Tar

Coal Tar is another exceptional hair loss remedy which has been used since the dark ages! Whilst the idea of putting coal tar on your head is rather unsettling, rest assured that the effects can be magical.

Coal tar is usually found in shampoos and specialty hair products, and you are able to buy it on its own from health food stores around the country. Give it a go before taking a potent and chemically active hair loss product and you might be pleasantly surprised.
