Thinning hair is a concern for men and women alike. Normal hair loss is part of the hair growth cycle, but abnormally high loss of hair can be attributed to several factors. Stress, chemical damage and even wearing hats can increase hair loss. Following a few simple techniques can regrow hair and keep your hair thicker and healthier for years to come.
Step 1
Use an at-home remedy found in your refrigerator. Many natural remedies using food and herbs can be ideal for hair-loss sufferers. Slice a red onion in half, and rub it on your balding areas. It may burn some, but it is stimulating the hair follicles. Do this for a couple of minutes and then apply equal parts lemon juice and honey. Leave this mixture on for 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Step 2
Stop washing your hair every day. Washing your hair strips its natural oils and can cause brittleness and breaking, making it difficult to regrow hair, even if a conditioner is used in conjunction with shampoo. Cutting back on your washings to several times a week will promote hair growth and health.
Step 3
Consume fresh fruits and vegetables high in vitamins and minerals A, B6, folic acid, iron and zinc. These vitamins and minerals have been proven to promote healthier, fuller hair growth.
Step 4
Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Keeping your skin hydrated will stimulate the hair follicle and promote growth. This will also help eliminate dandruff and other dry scalp problems that can be detrimental to hair growth.
Step 5
Massage your scalp daily to stimulate your hair follicles. Massage your scalp in a circular motion for at least five minutes under cold running water. The cold water gives additional stimulation.
Tips and Warnings
- Stop wearing ball caps or hats. Head coverings reduce air to the hair follicles and prevent hair growth. Only wear a head covering when necessary, such as when you need protective gear, in bad weather, or if you work in the food industry.
