Home Remedies For Hair Loss

As we all know there are many different treatments for hair loss. There are literally hundreds of different solutions to hair loss that is can be overwhelming to some. Also, how do we even know which ones even work? We don't want to spend all this money on products that are just wasting our time. There is another option; Home remedies for hair loss can be your solution. Believe it or not there are some that actually do work. I'm here to tell you some of these options available to you at home without having to waste any more money on pills that don't work or messy sprays and harsh chemicals.

A Few different remedies you can try at home:

Gather seeds of limes and black pepper. Second, grind it all together until it turns into a fine looking paste material. Use the paste on pieces of your hair, or patches of your hair. When first using this mixture of lime and black pepper it may irritate your scalp but it is going to act as a stimulus to the hair growth and encourage your hair follicles to grow hair.

Another kind of remedy which is pretty much like the previous is using liquorice. You can make this one by grinding pieces of liquorice in milk with a small pinch of saffron. Saffron is used as a cooking ingredient for flavoring and color. After you have added the saffron, you would then need to apply it to the bald patches before going to bed and leaving it on overnight. This is one of the best choices for treating the hair loss condition called Alopecia. Thinning of the hair and receding hair line is caused by Alopecia.

Also, by mixing these ingredients

Olive Leaves

Peach Leaves

Pomegranate Leaves

Buckthorn Leaves

Henna

Olive Oil

Salt

Once you have mixed all of the previous ingredients together the next step would be to grind them. After you have ground them, place them in a pot on the stove and boil. After boiling leave them to cool on the stove. Once they are cooled drain them through a fabric and store the mixture in a container. You will then put the mixture on your hair before you go to bed and make sure to leave it on your head throughout the whole night. Then in the morning wash all of the mixture off of your hair. You will then need to continue this process for 1 - 2 weeks, I would recommend 2 weeks. It will make your hair not only grow but make it stronger and darker.

One last suggestion I'll give you is to grind some myrtle leaves together and then keep the leaves in water for at least 24 hours. Then apply the mixture to your hair and cover your head with a piece of fabric. Make sure to leave the mixture on your head for the whole night. If you would like you can add olive oil and salt to the mixture when putting it on your head. In the morning wash your hair with cold or warm water whatever your preference is. Repeat this for 2 weeks.
