I found this posted in the hair loss forum and thought it sounded right.
I have been suffering from hair loss and premature graying of hairs for last few months after two consecutive pregnancies. Initially I never thought that I have to take some serious step but when my grey hairs started peeping out, I was really shocked. I started using coconut oil mixed with equal amounts of olive oil & castor oil and few drops of lemon juice. (I discovered this home remedy for hair loss after a tiring research) Though I have used it a few times and I am not sure about grey hairs but it is really wonderful to use. My hair loss has diminished, my hairs feel shinier & softer and I am really fresh and cool. You can also try this if you have any hair problem but be patient may be a different proportion of ingredients will work for you.
Hair Restoration Tips 17 y
As a substitute for shampooing with harmful chemicals to restore my hair health and give my hair new growth, I have tried many less harmful things than abrasive cleansers and toxic scents made with petrochemicals.
Neem oil is one ingreient that I would find a way to add to my hair treatment for thinning hair.
Neem oil comes from the neem plant found in India. It may be purchased online or at most any heath food store. It has many amazing properties. It does not smell very good though. There are a few ways that I have used it.
1. I massage it into my scalp. Use sparingly.

3. leave the towel on my head all night;
4. Rinse out in the morning with diluted apple cider vinegar; 1 Cup of Apple Cider in

NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR BALDNESS / HAIR LOSS
Baldness or alopecia refers to the falling of hair or absence of hair on the head. It is the most common disorder among men. Hair is found on each and every part of the body except the hands, palms and soles of the feet. Hair is formed in minute pockets in the skin called follicles. An up growth at the base of follicle produces hair when a special group of cells turn amino acids into keratin, a type of protein, of which hair is made. The rate of production of these building blocks determines hair growth. There is a balance in the hair growth and falling of hair. Any problem in the body system can disturb this balance causing more of hair loss and finally baldness
Types of Baldness / Hair Loss
Male pattern baldness - This condition can occur at any age and is mostly hereditarycondition. It results in total hair loss in a short period.

Have you ever noticed how few people over 50 have shiny, healthy hair hair you'd die for? There aren't very many of them.
Simple Solution:
Though it may be part of the natural aging process to lose some of your crowning glory, it's not a natural process for it to lose its gleam and glow. This lack of life is almost always due not to aging but to the unhealthy practices of overwashing, blow drying, and using chemical products such as sprays, perms, and gels.
Health, natural hair care is basically a very simple undertaking. Here are some tips of how essential oils can help!

This is a summary of the
"No Shampoo Routine" that was published @ http://motowngirl.com/no_shampoo.php about
Lorraine Massey's book called, "Curly Girl"

Lorraine Massey says in her book. ”Curly Girl
http://motowngirl.com
”Curlies should not use shampoo. There are a few mild shampoos out there, but most contain sodium laurel sulfate and/or sodium laureth sulfate. These ingredients will dry out your hair. Hair needs moisture - especially curly/coily hair. You can use a conditioner to ”wash” your hair and it will get your hair clean. Her theory is that using friction from your fingertips along with water and conditioner gets the hair and scalp clean.”

Over the centuries women have come up with their own remedies for hair care, from the garden or the pantry. The recipes listed are all very interesting and have a certain amount of benefit. I didn’t find any that are harmful. As a hairdresser, with color-enhanced hair, I will feel safer sticking to my LC Legacy Shampoo and Conditioner. However, if I’m ever stranded at home with no shampoo, I’ll know what to do!
Natural Hair Care - Shampoo From the Pantry
Fashion minded women have been mixing their own hair care potions from ingredients found in their pantry for hundreds of years. Some recipes have been handed down from generation to generation remaining intact. Others are completely individual, altered depending on what is in the cupboard or what the ‘cook’ feels like using. You may recognize some of these recipes, shared with me by friends. They may seem very strange to you. They are all natural.

Dear Karen,
My auntie had waist length thick black hair that was gorgeous. After she died I asked my mom how Auntie Ruth had such shiny black hair, even into her later years. My mom said she thought that Auntie used either coffee or tea as a final rinse. Unfortunately my mom did not know the exact details and so I am at a loss to try and figure this out.
Have you ever heard of such a thing before? If so, do I use instant coffee, brewed coffee or what is the deal? A friend thought that I might be able to avoid the muss and the fuss and just buy the drip of the day from Starbucks and pour that over my head.
Hmmmm....Starbucks brew of the day as a rinse? I never thought of that before but you know, it could potentially work. The important point to note is to make sure you don’t pour it on your head while it is still hot. Lukewarm to cool would be the proper temperature to avoid burns or scalding to your sensitive scalp.
Since you asked several questions, I will try to answer them in sequence.
Yes, people have been pouring fresh brewed tea and coffee on their hair for centuries. Basically as long as there has been tea and coffee in the world, it has been used for various beauty treatm ... read more |
