Preventing Hair Loss With Homemade Natural Hair Growth Treatments

Preventing hair loss by using natural ingredients can be a very effective way to stimulate the strands to grow faster and healthier. Not only is this an effective way to thicken your strands, it is also quite inexpensive because you can stimulate natural hair growth using homemade treatments made from foods you probably already have.



Nourishing the Strands
Your strands are made mostly out of protein and they need protein food sources for nourishment. In fact, without protein the strands cannot grow and will start shedding excessively. One way to make sure the strands are properly fed is to make sure you are getting enough vitamin B. This vitamin is necessary so that the body can produce protein for the strands. You can get vitamin B from supplements and by eating foods such as potatoes and eggs.



You can also nourish your strands by using protein foods as topical treatments to stimulate growth. You can make a nice protein conditioner for your strands by combining one tablespoon of honey with the same amount of olive oil. Massage the mixture into your hair and scalp and cover your head with a plastic cap. Let it stay on for about 30 minutes. The plastic cap will seal in the heat generated from your head. This heat will allow the strands to absorb the nutrients from the honey and olive oil, which will make the strands stronger.



Preventing Hair Loss With a Vitamin E Scalp Massage
One simple treatment which is very effective in preventing hair loss is a good scalp massage. The gentle movements of your fingertips against your head will increase your blood flow. A healthy blood flow helps to stimulate natural hair growth because the flow of blood carries protein and other nutrients to the roots.



You can get even better results by adding vitamin E oil into the mix. Cut open a vitamin E capsule and dab the oil onto your fingertips. Vitamin E also increases blood flow and circulation. It also nourishes the strands.
