Unfortunately, there is no magic cure for thinning hair or balding scalp. Genetics plays the largest role in hair loss and hair thinning, but environmental stress and lifestyle also play a role. You could visit your doctor for some prescription medications, but medication doesn't always work and it can have side effects. The best thing you can do for your hair is to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and drink lots of water. You can also try a natural herbal remedy at home to improve the condition of your hair and scalp.

Step 1

Mix 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 egg, the juice of half a lemon and 4 drops of tea tree oil in a bowl.

Step 2

Mix well until all the ingredients are blended.

Step 3

Apply the mixture to dry or damp hair, focusing on the scalp area.

Step 4

Massage the mixture into the scalp for five to 10 minutes.

Step 5

Cover your head with a shower cap and let the mixture sit on your scalp for 30 minutes to three hours.

Step 6

Rinse the mixture out of your hair, or shampoo it out.
