The main type of hair loss that both men and women experience is pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia. Within this condition, the hair growth duration is shortened and the hair follicle becomes more superficial and hair more easily can fall out. While there are synthetic medications available that treat pattern hair loss in men and women, natural remedies are commonly used to promote hair growth and stronger hair follicles.
Vitamin B
Vitamin B is used to treat hair loss by its ability to maintain healthy stress levels. Cortisol, the stress hormone, is linked not only to health problems, such as stress-related weight gain, but also hair loss. While vitamin B is available in singular pills, a multivitamin that is enriched in vitamin B is the ideal dosage.
Consume the recommended daily amount of a vitamin B multivitamin twice a day. Take the vitamins with at least eight ounces of water and drink at least 10 eight-ounce containers of water during each day to flush the system and promote vitamin B absorption.
Grape Seed Extract
Grape seed extract is catalogued as an effective antioxidant, which aides in promoting hair regrowth. The properties in grape seed extract work to block dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, from accumulating in the hair follicles.
The DHT hormone attaches itself to the hair follicle and begins to weaken hair growth and durability, ultimately resulting in overall/pattern hair loss.
Grape seed extract is available in pill form as well as in oil forms. To ingest grape seed extract take three pure grape seed extract capsules, available in any vitamin store, two times a day with eight ounces of water. Consult a physician before beginning any supplement routine, especially if you have allergies.
To use grape seed extract as a topical application, gently massage 3 tbsp. of grape seed oil directly onto the scalp for 10 minutes. Focus mainly on areas where hair loss is prevalent. Allow the oil to rest for 10 more minutes after massaging in, and rinse with shampoo and conditioner.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Sage
Apple cider vinegar is acidic, which effectively dissolves toxins and dirt that clog hair follicles, which can prevent hair growth. Sage is an essential oil, which contains various properties that act as an antiseptic and when combined with apple cider vinegar, sage helps mask its strong vinegar scent.
Mix 2 oz. of apple cider vinegar with 2 oz. of purified water. Stir the mixture to ensure the vinegar and water have properly mixed. Add five drops of sage essential oil to the mixture and stir. Drench the hair in the solution and place a towel over the head for 30 minutes. Rinse the solution out of the hair and repeat every day for a week and then every other day after that. For those with long hair, double the amount of apple cider vinegar, water and sage oil used.
