Unfortunately, in most cases, patients with androgenetic alopecia have to take special medications. Otherwise they just cannot stop the disease. However, we decided to publish this short guide to unconventional folk remedies for hair loss. In fact, such methods can really help with some types of baldness, as well as at the initial stage of hair loss. Also, you can easily use them along with the medicines. Quite often, the use of such non-traditional remedies for baldness gives excellent results.
Cons of baldness treatment with folk remedies
However, we want to warn you right away that you should not count on a quick and one hundred percent result. First, such methods do not help with ALL the forms of baldness. Moreover, in the case of rapid and severe hair loss, they will be almost useless. In addition, the patient should use these folk remedies regularly and for a long time. As a rule, the minimum course of treatment lasts six months. Only then will you be able to notice at least some visible changes. Of course, the pills work faster.
We would also like to note that non-traditional folk remedies for hair loss may have contraindications, just like regular drugs. For example, you may suffer from an individual intolerance to certain product or its component. In addition, you may not be able to tolerate particular odor. Finally, some substances are contraindicated for pregnant women and nursing moms. Those who have recently had a stroke cannot use some essential oils (in particular, basil and pine) to stimulate hair growth.
The most popular folk remedies for hair loss
We will list just a few folk remedies that are most popular among patients with different forms of baldness:
Vegetable and essential oils
In particular, to strengthen hair and follicles, you can try rubbing castor oil into your scalp. You can leave it even for several hours, and then wash it off with a gentle shampoo. Use such masks 1-3 times a week. You can also use olive, linseed or sea buckthorn oil for your hair. By the way, eat them too, since they improve hair and skin condition.
Some vegetables such as hot peppers
They can also help you strengthen your hair. Try to find a tincture of red pepper and make masks with it. The flow of blood to the scalp will increase the amount of oxygen, which will have a good effect on the quality of the hair. However, better first test yourself for allergic reactions and burns. To do this, apply a small amount of this unconventional folk remedy for hair loss to the skin behind your ear.
Also, you can use onions or garlic for this purpose. Just remember that this mixture will leave an unpleasant odor.
Salt
This simplest, but quite effective product for stimulating hair growth in men, may do miracles. Rub sea or iodized salt, diluted with water, into areas with thinning hair. Keep it for 15 minutes to 1 hour (until you feel severe itching) and rinse thoroughly.
Healing herbs as unconventional folk remedies for hair loss
In particular, for hair care during the treatment of baldness, you can use sage extract, nettle (it also helps to get rid of dandruff), wormwood, chamomile and calendula.
