If you’re one of those guys who has a feeling you’re going bald soon (because your father or grandfather was bald), it may help to know that there are ways to prevent possible hair loss. It really pays to take the necessary preventative measures now instead of waiting for baldness to start.
Here are some of the most natural ways to prevent hair loss:
1. Eat foods rich in sulfur
Sulfur is an element found primarily in nails and skin. This beauty mineral is capable of promoting hair growth because it improves blood circulation and also has the ability to decrease inflammation. Foods rich in sulfur are foods rich in protein such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, legumes, vegetables (especially onions). Sulfur creams have also been observed to greatly increase the chances of regrowth of lost hair.
2. Try the so-called Indian head massage
This treatment dates back 4,000 years and is still practiced by the Indians. This massage is performed to combat poor blood circulation, hypertension, and even some serious diseases. Indian men and women regularly receive this massage as part of their health and personal care regimen. The massage oil that is used contains any of these vegetable oils: almond, olive, coconut or sesame. Most local Indian barbers give this type of massage to male clients after a haircut to promote hair growth and general well-being.
3. Eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals
Vitamins often associated with hair growth are: Vitamin A (has antioxidants to reduce oiliness on the scalp); vitamin C (also has antioxidants that keep hair and skin healthy); vitamin E (improves blood circulation in the scalp); Inositol (maintains healthy hair follicles); biotin (helps produce keratin, which is essential to prevent hair loss); vitamin B3 (improves circulation to the scalp); vitamin B5 (necessary to prevent hair loss and hair aging); vitamin B6 (helps in the creation of melanin that produces the natural color of the hair and also prevents hair loss); and vitamin B12 that makes skin and hair healthy.
4. There is also a Chinese drink that is believed to cure hair loss: detox tea
The Chinese believe that when the kidneys are detoxified, healthy hair is also achieved. This may be true as the kidneys help in good blood circulation. It is advisable to drink a cup of this tea at least 3 times each (for about 7-10 days). After the 10-day period, only one cup is needed to keep your kidneys (and hair!) healthy. The ingredients are as follows and you have to boil them in a non-aluminum aluminum pot:
– 1/2 tablespoon of burdock root
– 1/2 tablespoon dandelion root
– 1/2 teaspoon licorice
– 1 1/2 cups of purified water
5. Aromatherapy is now more than a form of relaxation
It is believed that it can also stimulate the well-being and growth of hair. A hair oil solution has the following ingredients:
– 3 drops each of lavender, thyme, rosemary and cedar essential oils
– 1/8 cup jojoba oil
– 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil
Consistent use of this blend resulted in 44% hair growth among some people who underwent a certain hair loss study.
The following treatments and practices are completely natural and have no side effects. “There is no need to wait for your hair to start falling out, act now.”
