Our hair is our crowning glory, but what if you are slowly losing your hair? Most men are experiencing this kind of inevitable problem and they have been finding effective and easy solutions that can have promising results.
According to WebMD, 85% of men will experience hair loss when they reach the age of 50, but there are some who start to experience hair thinning even in their 20s. This can be worrisome because losing hair is like losing confidence.
You may be questioning yourself on what is the real cause of hair loss. To answer this big question, Mayo Clinic explained that there are a lot of reasons why hair gets thin. This very common reason is hereditary for men. This happens when the hair growth is disrupted and the hair follicle is damaged and scarred causing hair not to grow.
There are also other causes like hormonal changes, medical conditions and medications but these are uncommon causes. We have gathered home remedies that can promote hair growth. These may not give them a very promising result, but according to some sources, there are people claiming that they are getting good results in some home remedies for hair loss.
Hair oil scalp massage
You can use several types of oil to massage your scalp but the most recommended oils are coconut oil, olive oil and a few drops of rosemary oil. Proper scalp massage and applying slight pressure with your fingers will increase the blood flow in your scalp and will allow your hair follicles to regrow hair.
This will also strengthen the roots of your existing hair which can prevent hair loss. You can do this once a week and you will notice some changes in few months of trying.
Chinese Hibiscus
There is nothing wrong if you go organic. In fact, it is safer to use. Chinese Hibiscus is a flowering plant that has several natural properties that can cure hair loss. The flower of this plant can be used to treat hair thinning, split ends, dandruff and even prevents graying of hair.
To prepare, you need to add 10 hibiscus flowers in two cups of coconut oil. Heat the mixture until the oil changes its color then strain it.
Apply this in your hair and scalp before sleeping then rinse your hair in the morning after you wake up. Continue the application for 3-4 times.
Finasteride (Proscar)
If the natural ways won't work, there is always a product that you can buy in the store for hair loss. Finasteride is the very first effective drug that cures hair loss.
