Hair loss - what's the natural remedy?

Hair loss is often a significant event! But there are real solutions for limiting hair loss over the long term. Here are a few tips on how to keep your hair looking its best. First, we'll take a look at how to prevent baldness, followed by useful everyday products such as essential oils.

Fragile hair - what to do to care for it

In addition to dietary supplements, there are many other ways to care for your hair on a daily basis. These steps help prevent hair from breaking or falling out too quickly. It's important to use a plant-based shampoo and to space out shampoos (2 times a week).

Rinse water should be fresh to prevent hair from becoming greasy too quickly. Secondly, hair dryers should be avoided, as they attack the scalp and permanently weaken the hair fiber. What's more, after shampooing, it's important to gently dab the hair with a towel, rather than rubbing it vigorously (which increases the percentage of breakage).

Of course, gel, hairspray and chemical colorings are to be avoided, as they suffocate the hair and increase the risk of hair loss.

Hair loss - opt for plant and essential oils

Here are the top essential oils and vegetable oils to use on a daily basis:

• spruce essential oil (Picea mariana)
• ginger essential oil (Zingiber officinalis)
• rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) essential oil
• niaouli essential oil (Melaleuca quinquenervia)
• clary sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil
• ylang Ylang essential oil (Cananga odorata)

• castor oil(Ricinus communis)
• coconut oil(Cocos nucifera)
• nigella oil(Nigella sativa)
• pumpkin seed oil(Curcurbita pepo)

Used by the Egyptians, including the famous Cleopatra, castor oil accelerates hair growth. Black cumin oil is known for strengthening the hair fiber. These oils can be used with shampoo, simply by adding 4/5 drops to the wash.

If you wish to use it as a mask, it should be diluted with another vegetable oil because of its viscous texture. You can also combine it with shea butter. 40% shea butter and 60% vegetable oil.

Essential oils - 4/5 drops mixed with 1 large spoonful of vegetable oil can be applied as an oil bath and/or scalp massage oil.
