Whether you have lost your hair due
to emotional stress, chemotherapy or over processing you can reverse the
process using \herbs and vitamins. Depending on what has caused the damage and also assuming
that it is not the result of hereditary, taking hair grown vitamins and herbal supplements has proven to be
quite effective.
Vitamins
and Minerals Are Essential
You should also resign yourself to
the fact that you will be eating dairy of all kinds, including milk and cheese.
This is because these foods have all of the B Vitamins and protein that is
needed for successful hair regrowth.
The B vitamins that you will need to
make sure you eat are biotin, choline, inositol and PABA. If you think that you
have to take these vitamins as a supplement is sure to take them with a dairy
product to help them metabolize more efficiently.
Vitamin A is also essential so be
sure to eat your sweet potatoes, carrots and yams, Melons and papayas are also
good sources of this vitamin.
Any matter to do with skin or hair
loss is bettered if you take Vitamin A. Take vitamins for hair as a liquid supplement if you
feel your body is not absorbing the pill form.
Don’t forget to take a mineral
supplement as well. Foods like seaweed are rich in the copper and zinc that is
essential to regrow a luscious head of hair.
Herbal
Remedies That Might Help
There are also quite a few natural
herbal remedies that can help grow back hair that has fallen out.
Rosemary is a great source Vitamin A
which in itself can help promote hair growth. It is also an anti-oxidant that
helps fight off the aging that can cause hair loss. Rosemary can be taken as a supplement but it
also has worked as a remedy topically.
Horsetail is a herb that has been
used for centuries to regrow hair. It is particularly helpful for cases of
balding that are caused by aging. It words by increasing the circulation to our
scalp. When our circulatory system is stimulated, so is our scalp.
Nettles contain vitamins and
minerals that can help promote the circulation of blood and stimulate hair
growth. They are also wonderful sources of Vitamin A.
Saw Palmetto can help prevent
balding if you know you are going to be in a situation where you might lose
your hair as would be in the event of knowing that you had to get chemotherapy
for cancer.
Siberian Ginseng stimulates the
circulation and encourages hair growth on the scalp. It also gets rid of any
toxins that might be damaging or clogging up your hair follicles. Ginseng can
be taken in a tea or in a capsule form or it can be rubbed directly on the
scalp.
Golden Seal is another herb that
might help you grow your hair back. It is an herb that clears toxins from the
body, including the skin follicles. This can result in better channels for
helping the hair grow back.
Eating a lot of organic garlic has
also been known to help restore your hair. This is because garlic contains
minerals like zinc and copper that support hair growth. Garlic is also
anti-inflammatory and this also can help the scalp’s follicles recover from any
damage.
Genetic
Hair Loss May Be Irreversible
If you are losing your hair early in
life then it may be due to genetics. In this case taking herbs and vitamins may
only post-pone the inevitable.
When hair loss occurs due to aging then
the hair follicle grows thinner each time the hair grows back after naturally
falling out. The end result is hair loss so severe that it never grows back at
all. This is not much you can do about this except try and nourish the scalp as
much as you can to prevent your balding aging process from kicking in.
When it comes to losing your hair
you may not be able to stop the inevitability of going bald completely but you
may be able to post-pone it for a while if you take care of your general health
and avoid factors, such as smoking and medications, that can make your
disposition towards hair loss worse.
In fact there are a lot of bad
habits that can cause your hair to fall out prematurely and many of them are
due to addictions. Prescription medications are also villainous when it comes
to helping you keep your hair strands.
No matter how old you are a healthy
lifestyle, good diet and careful handling of your hair can help postpone any
genetic balding. If you know that you have a disposition towards balding you
have to stop taking better care of your hair right now. If you are
Afro-American that might mean letting it go natural for a while and not
processing it or relaxing. Vitamins are not the solution to hair loss from
pulling on your hair with curlers or flattening irons.
It is especially important to try
and let your hair dry naturally whenever possible. Blow dryers have a way of
drying out and damaging your hair, plus the brushing and pulling of the hair
stresses it out as well.
Use gentle shampoos and alternate
your shampoo brands at least once a month so your existing hair is not stressed
by washing. Some women facing hair loss wash their hair as little as possible
to make sure that the hair follicles are not stressed too much and stay rooted
in the scalp as long as possible.
Remember that all of the herbal
remedies in the world are not going to work if your hair loss is due to
heredity. They are going to be the most effective on hair loss that is caused
by disease or damage.
