Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi Rik! I'm assuming your diet is good.. The answer to the million-dollar question of how to get hair back is to know how you lost it in the first place. You can determine the correct remedy for hair loss only after you know the exact cause of hair loss. Ane even then, it will depend on the cause as to whether or not you can get it back.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Is it hereditary (genes)? Scalp massages are good. Here is what I have in my files but can't attest to any as I still have a good amount of hair.. Rosemary EO is very good for the hair and does help promote new growth. I wouldn't use it full strength however. Mix it with a carrier oil like sweet almond or jojoba B complex, C and E vitamins as well as Zinc are all beneficial to the growth and health of hair. Also, foods high in biotin like brewer's yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts will promote healthy hair and skin.A rinse made of apple cider vinegar and sage tea will help hair growth. In addition, All Goode Gifts has a wonderful formula that has had much success. It contains 2 drops of cedarwood essential oil, 3 drops of lavender eo, 3 drops of rosemary eo and 2 drops of thyme eo. Mix this in a carrier oil of 1/2 teaspoon of jojoba oil and 4 teaspoons of grapeseed oil. Perform a 2 minute scalp massage every night. This mixture should not leave your hair greasy. A couple other herbs which could be considered to help with Hair Growth.Ginkgo to help with circulation to the hair follicles and skin.Horsetail tea or powdered herb for the reach mineral content including silica which is essential for healthy skin, nails and hair.Tincture or Infused oil of Arnica is also supposed to stimulate hair growth when applied to the scalp, Arnica is one herbs which is normally not recommended for internal use today.Birch oil when added to shampoo supports hair growth and is best used in combination with Queen of the Meadow oil.Finally our favorite herb:Rosemary, Latin Name: Rosmarinus officinalis has been used in the past as a daily rinse on the scalp and hair to promote hair growth.Other things to consider when hair loss occurs, infection, increased stress, aging, hormonal fluctuations and changes, deficient diet, lack of circulation and blocked pores can affect hair growth.Lastly, calendula flower, marsh mallow root and nettle leaf are all excellent when combined in an infusion or a rinse for dry hair to nourish it and encourage new growth. and from another file I have: Simmer a 1/2 cup of Rosemary leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis) in one cup of water for 15 minutes. Strain, and add liquid to a 1/2 cup of good quality castile shampoo. Use this shampoo as you would any other. Rinse thoroughly. A mixture of apple cider vinegar and sage tea has been used a hair rinse to help hair grow. Eat plenty of foods high in biotin. Biotin is needed for healthy hair and skin, and may even prevent hair loss in some men. Good sources include brewer's yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. Essential fatty acids found in (flaxseed oil, primrose oil, and salmon oil are good sources) improve hair texture. Avoid using products that are not natural to your hair. Allergic reactions to these chemicals occur frequently.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Though I don't seem to have to worry about thinning hair yet (just very grey), my wife loses handfulls every morning when we shower. She started taking Selenium (spelling?) because she heard that it helps hair health. I don't know if it is true or not, but we'll see.
