Naturally Regain Lost Hair

Normally, hair sheds no more than 40 to 100 strands per day. Causes of hair loss include illness, weight loss, stress, vitamin deficiency and/or residue build-up. Hair growth is slowed by factors, such as heavy intake of refined foods or smoking. You can begin to naturally regain lost hair by improving your diet and lifestyle habits, as well as trying homemade remedies. You will find that natural solutions stimulate hair growth and increase luster.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Vegetables rich in vitamins and antioxidants Apple cider vinegar Jalapeño peppers Vodka Castor oil Slant bench
  1. Step 1

    Decrease the intake of refined foods. Keep in mind that junk food slows new cell growth.

  2. Step 2

    Know that Vitamins C and E increase scalp circulation and support hair growth. B Complex vitamins and Vitamin F also aid in hair growth.

  3. Step 3

    Blend green leafy vegetables, carrots and alfalfa sprouts. This juice contains high levels of the vitamins needed for hair growth.

  4. Step 4

    Use apple cider vinegar as a hair rinse to clear dead skin cells from hair follicles. Wash the hair with natural products to avoid further residue build-up.

  5. Step 5

    Understand that jalapeño peppers seeped in vodka and later mixed with castor oil promote hair growth when massaged into the scalp for a few minutes. Shampoo as usual when finished.

  6. Step 6

    Lie on a slanted bench or turn head up side down for a few minutes everyday to promote circulation. This stimulates the scalp and supports hair growth.

Tips & Warnings
  • Take vitamin supplements and incorporate them into your daily diet. Alternate using the homemade hair recipes every other day. Wash hands well after making the jalapeño mixture and avoid eye contact.
