How to Find Natural Cures for Thinning Hair

Looking for natural cures for thinning hair? Whether you are facing premature baldness, hereditary thin hair or recent hair loss, there are some natural remedies for thin hair. Your diet, hair care and physical therapy all play a part in a naturally healthy scalp and vibrant hair. Here are some natural cures for thinning hair to try.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. 

   Consider the factors that may be contributing to hair loss. Age (50+) is one factor; heavy metal toxicity, stress, and pharmaceutical drugs are other causes of thinning hair. Could any of these apply to you?

2. Find alternatives to cholesterol-lowering drugs or high blood pressure medicines if yours are causing hair loss. Antithyroid agents and antidepressants may also cause premature hair loss.

3. 

   Examine your diet. Strict diets without enough nutrition (i.e., malnutrition) can cause hair loss. Make sure you are getting enough B complex vitamins and zinc, as well as enzymes to improve the absorption of vitamins and minerals.

4. 
   Steel cut oats

   Avoid baldness naturally by eating a 1/2 cup of Irish Oatmeal (steel cut oats soaked overnight before cooking) each morning. Oatmeal contains silica and biotin, both of which are essential for healthy hair and nails.

5. 

   Encourage hair grown by increasing scalp circulation. Scalp massage, which also reduces stress tension, is a relaxing natural cure for thinning hair.

Tips & Warnings

• Try natural and organic shampoo to improve scalp health.
• Avoid using hair color treatments and conventional hair products, which can worsen hair loss.
