Although natural treatments don't have clinical studies to support their worth as hair loss treatments, several supplements have developed reputations as worthwhile alternatives to pharmaceuticals. Regrowing hair can be a daunting task even with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Propecia and minoxidil, so the best bet is to attack the hair loss from the inside and out.
Step 1
Take one 160 mg saw palmetto capsule in the morning and another at night. Saw palmetto extract is the most popular natural hair loss treatment, as it is believed to prevent DHT from attaching to the hair follicle.
Step 2
Take one nettle root capsule per day. Nettle root is another supplement that is believed to block DHT.
Step 3
Mix cayenne pepper with hot water to make a paste. Apply paste to the scalp and let soak for 30 minutes before washing hair. Cayenne pepper is said to work by irritating the scalp, which will attract blood and increase circulation.
Step 4
Massage scalp with fingertips for 10 to 15 minutes each day. A scalp massage will increase blood circulation in the scalp and relieve stress at the same time.
