8 Best Home Remedies For Hair Growth by Caizechong

Adolescents as young as 15 years complain of thinning hair. In such a scenario, it becomes imperative to find some thinning hair remedies to solve a problem that is faced by thousands. The problem is, some of these products may be costly due to the amount of research that has gone into the formula. If you don't have any allergic reactions to ingredients that can be found at home, you may wish to try out some home remedies before hitting the shelves at retail stores.

1. Make a mixture of equal amounts of coconut oil and castor oil and heat it. When the oil is warm enough, take that and massage into scalp and hair. Leave on for an hour. Then take a towel, dip it in hot water and cover your head. Repeat this 4-5 times, till the water loses its heat. Then wash off.

2. Egg Yolk: Raw egg yolk when applied on the scalp and massaged well, proves to be an effective hair fall remedy. Also, as I mentioned earlier, it also proves effective when mixed with henna.

3. There are many dietary supplements available for hair loss. A good multivitamin and mineral supplement will ensure optimal nutrition. Consider a B-complex to provide B vitamins, which may be missed in your daily diet. Take fish or flax seed oil daily for omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for healthy hair growth. Other supplements for hair health include silica, vitamin C, beta carotene, biotin, folic acid and ginko biloba, which increases circulation to the scalp. "Hair, skin and nail" products combine these supplements to promote healthy hair. Shen Min makes a popular line of products, offering gender-specific ones, as well as a DHT-blocker for extreme hair loss.

4. Olive oil is probably the most commonly known ingredient. It's available in almost every household. Olive oil has been known to reduce hair loss and improve the condition of the scalp. Rub a few drops of oil onto the scalp after a hair wash. Notice how the hair starts to shine immediately.

5. Wash your hair not more than twice a week. But if your hair is very oily and you need to wash it more often, wash it with a very mild shampoo.

6. Green Coriander: Fresh juice extracted from green coriander leaves should be applied on the hair. This proves beneficial to increase hair growth. Even juice extracted from curry leaves is beneficial to prevent your hair falling out.

7. One home remedy is to combine 1/2 tsp. rosemary essential oil and 1/2 tsp. jojoba oil, blending until smooth. Apply this to the hair, leave it in for a few hours, then rinse off. Another topical remedy from Homemademedicines.com combines 1 cup aloe vera gel, 4 tbsp. apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp. nettle root, 1/2 tsp. vitamin E oil and 1/2 tsp. rosemary oil, to be applied topically once a day.

8. Some people like to mix several ingredients together to create their home made hair care solution. Such ingredients may include lemon, mustard seeds, olive oil, and egg yolk. The solution is then used on the hair and scalp for about an hour. If you can't seem to find the time during the day, you can always apply the solution at night, before you head for bed. Remove the towel in the morning and give the hair a good clean wash before heading for work.
