THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM Combating Hair Loss Naturally
Believe in coconut oil. These days, it seems like everything can benefit from a little coconut oil — your hair is no exception. Coconut oil’s fatty acids help prevent protein loss within each strand of your hair, strengthening it from the inside. Depending on your hair type, coconut oil can be used before or after you wash your hair.
Our hair is beneficial for our confidence and appearance as well as our overall hygiene. But hormonal shifts, diet, and medical conditions can all lead to hair loss. While a doctor can help, there are a few ways to promote healthy and natural hair growth and regrowth while preventing hair loss.
Massage your scalp. If your patience (and hairline) is wearing thin, take the time to massage your scalp every day. This rhythmic movement on your head increases blood flow to your hair follicles, which stimulates hair growth and can even improve your hair thickness and density. Give aloe vera a try. Aloe vera has been used to treat hair loss by soothing and calming a damaged scalp. By applying aloe vera a few times a week, your scalp becomes a healthier environment for hair growth to take place. It can even reduce dandruff and oil that could be blocking your hair follicles and stunting hair growth.
Whisk up an egg hair mask. It sounds a little strange, but trust the process! An egg hair mask (raw egg and olive oil) works magic for your hair. Like coconut oil, eggs contain proteins that both strengthen and rebuild your hair. Leave the mask on for about 10 minutes and repeat again every week or so! Preventing and reversing hair loss takes diligence and consistency, and you won’t see results overnight. Any treatment you use may take a few weeks to take effect, but don’t lose hope! It is possible to combat hair loss with these natural solutions, but if you find yourself stressed over your locks, try to stay positive and practice self-care to encourage optimal growth and regrowth.
