Have you noticed something different with your hair lately? Now that summer is over, many women are noticing some hair loss. Whether you’re leaving more strands than usual on your hairbrush or in the shower, temporary thinning or hair loss is common in the Fall. Luckily, there are a number of excellent and effective remedies for hair loss that can help slow down the process and stimulate new hair growth.

Causes of Hair Loss

There are lots of reasons why women may begin to loose their hair.

Temporary hair loss can be factor of harsh hair treatments, like bleaching and excessive teasing, that are common during the summer months. Vitamin and mineral deficiency or hormonal imbalance can also lead to noticeable hair loss in women.

Pregnancy is often associated with increased production of hair. However, the truth is pregnant women simply lose less hair than normal throughout their pregnancy. This can often lead to freak-outs over hair loss once the baby is born, because as the hormones stabilize,  some women may notice increased loss of hair.

Whatever the reason, it’s best to treat the symptoms as soon as you notice them.

And Other Remedies for Hair Loss.

Scalp Massage: Home remedies for hair loss include scalp massage to help stimulate blood circulation and oxygen flow. When scalp cells die, hair stops growing. In order to prevent this from happening, it is important to stimulate blood circulation and maintain proper levels of iron in the body. Iron deficiency, also known as anemia, affects the production of red blood cells which in turn helps to regenerate skin and follicle cell growth. Scalp massages is the best way to ensure efficient cell growth and blood circulation. Besides, who doesn’t love a great head rub?!

Hair Masks: Hair masks are a great way to strengthen brittle hair and prevent further hair loss. If you don’t have time to whip up a home-made hair mask, consider an effective cream-mask from a well-known Russian brand “Golden Silk”. Inexpensive but super effective, this intensive restorative therapy will help strengthen hair that’s been weakened or damaged by coloring or other harsh chemical treatments.

Other excellent and effective remedies for hair loss from Russian brands include Natura Siberica.

Rosemary and Almond Oil: You can create a 100% natural hair mask at home by mixing fresh rosemary herbs with a bit of almond oil. Massage it into your scalp and leave on for 10-15 minutes under a shower cap. This will help straighten the hair, soften the scalp and prevent any additional hair loss. While there is no evidence that this mask — or any other for that matter — will actually help re-grow your hair, it is an excellent way to manage and remedy further hair loss.

Burdock Oil: Natural burdock oil is an inexpensive and powerful remedy for hair loss that’s been used for over a hundred years. Native to Europe and North America, burdock is a perennial plant with large leaves and purple flowers. Its roots have been used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes for centuries in many cultures around the world. Deeply nourishing, burdock oil helps restore healthy hair follicle growth and prevent scalp dryness. You can rub this nutritious oil into your scalp to stimulate hair growth. As a bonus, it leaves your hair silky smooth without any harsh chemicals.

Potassium: Eating a balanced diet rich in naturally sourced vitamins and minerals, can help stabilize hair loss. Foods rich in potassium, like bananas, beans, avocadoes, squash, and dark leafy greens, can seriously improve blood circulation and cell regeneration. Potassium also helps to maintain a proper balance of fluids in the body. And as science has shown, staying hydrated is essential in preventing further follicle malfunction.

If you’re concerned about severe hair loss due to a hormonal imbalance or other type of ailment, it’s always a good idea to speak to a medical professional before attempting any treatments. Home remedies are an option and can considerably improve hair loss, but formal medical treatments may be necessary if your problem persists or gets worse.
