While hair loss may not be something fatal, it can be a problem when it became too serious. But, if you are thinking about trying out home remedies before going to the professionals, here are some natural and easy-to-get remedies that may prove helpful in improving hair condition:

Ginkgo biloba

For ages, this herb has been hailed for its properties in beauty treatment, from its leaf to its fruits. In the case of hair care, ginkgo improves blood circulation to the brain and skin; including the scalp area, and nourishes hair follicles, promoting hair growth.

Green Tea

It is found that the chemical catechin in green tea, as well as a few other particles, inhibits hormone activity that causes hair loss. According to studies, catechin inhibits Type I 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) that damages hair growth (from www.dhtblocker.net).

Stinging Nettle

The stinging nettle is a recognized treatment in homeopathy, particularly for its anti-asthmatic functions, as well as an ingredient in hair tonic. You can either simmer it, drain the liquid and use as a lotion to apply on hair, or prepare and drink it as a tea, where the effects are similar to drinking green tea.

Red Pepper

Despite being an irritant, the red pepper is an effective hair loss remedy too. According to progresivehealth.com, the pepper irritates skin and causes the release of histamine in the affected skin areas, which alter cell division and encourage hair follicle production. This can be done by mixing the spice with water and applying it to the scalp.

Onion

According to an article in Care2.com, under Green Living, studies from the Journal of Dermatology have shown that applying onion juice directly to hair and scalp promotes hair growth, as is evident in the 20 people out of 23 who have tried the formula for 6 weeks; applying twice a day.
