Nurture your hair

• Using hair care products from Mother Nature’s cupboard might help to combat thinning hair. For natural ingredients in shampoos, conditioners, serums and styling aids, look for fruit extracts, flowers, essential oils, herbs and medicinal plants.


• When searching for hair treatments or shampoos, check the label for herbs, such as rosemary and capsicum, both of which are said to stimulate hair growth. Lemongrass is also known for adding fullness and body to hair, while aloe vera may balance the scalp’s pH level, protecting it from irritation.


• Dong quai, a Chinese herb that contains high levels of phytoestrogens, may be helpful for hair growth. Before you try any herb, however, always consult your doctor, because you can experience side effects and it isn’t appropriate for everyone (e.g., people with bleeding disorders; women who are pregnant or breastfeeding).

Daily routine

• Choose a gentle shampoo with herbal ingredients like L'Occitane Aromachologie Repairing Shampoo, which has lavender to strengthen dry or damaged hair.


• For fine hair, try L'Occitane Aromachologie Volumizing Shampoo with petit grain, sweet orange oil, wheat germ and a vegetable complex to purify and stimulate the scalp and hair.


• If you have very dry hair, keep in mind that shampooing your hair every day may cause dryness or breakage, so limit washing to every other day at most.


• You’ll also want to incorporate a strengthening natural conditioner like Ole Henriksen Natural Hair Hydrator with Orchid Flower into your daily routine to smooth and strengthen dull strands.


• Finally, avoid overexposure to hair colorants, chemical treatments or chlorine, which can aggravate the scalp and cause dryness or flaking.

Special treatments

• To nourish the hair and scalp, you can choose from a variety of weekly treatments, including oils, conditioners and hydrating masks. For a mask enriched with vitamins and silk proteins to strengthen weak strands, try Korres Shea Butter & Vitamins Nourishing Mask.


• To restore lost hydration to weak, brittle strands, use a rejuvenating hair oil like Sundari Neem and Coconut Hair Treatment Oil at least once a week.


• To prevent frayed ends from splitting, look for a glycerin-based protein serum like Korres Rice Proteins Hair Tip Serum; apply daily to combat split ends.

Try it at home

• To cultivate strong, healthy hair, there are various natural home remedies, including coconut milk, almond oil and jojoba oil.


• Coconut milk is known for its nourishing benefits. Apply coconut milk to your roots; allow it to soak in for 30 minutes; and then rinse with warm water. Repeat the process three times a week.


• Almond oil is said to prevent hair loss. Massage a small amount onto the scalp several times a day.


• It’s believed using jojoba oil on the scalp can fight dandruff and psoriasis.

Diet and healthy hair

• A healthy diet is a significant part of healthy hair. Since hair is primarily comprised of protein, add protein-rich foods to your diet, including lean beef, fish, eggs and cottage cheese.


• Also, consider a supplement designed specifically to support the hair with vitamins and minerals, such as N.V. Perricone Skin And Total Body Supplements. In addition to vitamins A, C, and E, these supplements also provide minerals like iron and zinc, which are necessary for healthy hair, as well as healthy skin. Always check with your doctor before trying any supplement.
