Top 4 Natural Home Remedies for Hair Growth

Suffering from a thinning scalp, balding, or some other form of hair loss? A quick Google search will reveal a wealth of options and remedies. But before you dive headfirst into these solutions, make sure you have a complete picture of what’s out there. Not all options are as safe or harmless as they seem. We’ve got the top 4 natural hair growth remedies that are completely safe and effective for hair growth. 

The Science of Hair Growth (and Loss)

Most people try to tackle hair loss using ineffective methods and means. And in most cases, their misguided efforts are the direct result of a lack of understanding surrounding the hair growth cycle. If you want to stand any chance of regrowing your hair, you have to know how the process works on a biological level.

For starters, hair consists of two distinct yet related structures. The first structure is the follicle, which rests just beneath the skin of the scalp. The second part is the hair shaft, which is the visible portion that protrudes through the scalp and makes up the part that you can touch and feel.

Without getting too technical in this article, follicles are like tiny tunnels that supply hairs with the blood flow and nourishment they need to grow and thrive. The hair shaft is mostly comprised of a very hard protein known as keratin. Each hair shaft consists of three different layers (the medulla, cortex, and cuticle). While every person is different, hair on the scalp typically grows roughly five to eight inches per year. And at any given time, each hair on the scalp can be found in one of three unique stages of growth or shedding. These are known as the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases.

Hair growth is highly dependent on proper circulation and a balanced supply of the appropriate vitamins and nutrients. When the right factors are in place, healthy hair is the byproduct. 

The average person loses somewhere between 50 and 100 hairs per day. However, because the typical human head has as many as 100,000 hairs at any given time, it’s difficult to notice. And if there are no other mitigating factors, the typical person regrows the same number of hairs on a daily basis. Hair loss occurs when the number of hairs lost exceeds the rate of growth for a period of several days, weeks, or months. 

4 Natural Home Remedies Worth Trying

When most people first notice hair loss, they immediately turn to aggressive options without understanding what’s actually happening at a follicular level. This often leads to more serious problems.

If you want to tackle hair loss, you have to address the cause of the problem (rather than masking the symptoms). Here are a few safe and natural hair growth remedies that do just that:

1. Improve Your Diet

It’s impossible to grow hair without the proper diet. Your follicles depend on a steady blend of the right vitamins and nutrients in order to grow hair. If you’re consuming a diet that’s high in processed ingredients and other additives, your hair will not be as healthy as it could be. You need to replace pre-packaged foods with a fresh and balanced diet that includes plenty of protein, biotin, vitamin C, vitamin A, and iron.

For optimal hair growth, consider adding the following to your diet: soybeans, shrimp, oysters, sweet peppers, nuts, avocados, sweet potatoes, spinach, eggs, and berries.

2. Try Low Level Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy, also known as cold therapy, is a regenerative hair process that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage them to re-enter the hair growth cycle. This exciting technology is now cleared by the FDA for in-home use.

The easiest option for LLLT treatment is a laser hair cap system. These hats look like a typical baseball cap on the outside, but have a web of LEDs on the inside. You simply place the cap on your head for roughly 30 minutes per day, and the process of regenerating hair follicle cells begins. Most people notice results in as little as 30 days, while significant growth is usually seen by the seven-month mark. 

3. Give Scalp Massages a Go

Have you ever tried a scalp massage? As you now know, hair growth is highly dependent on proper circulation. Scalp massages work by stimulating blood flow to the scalp, which strengthens the roots and helps essential vitamins and nutrients get to the follicles faster.

You can massage your scalp at any time using nothing more than your fingertips. However, you can accelerate results by using a mixture of jojoba oil, lavender essential oil, chamomile essential oil, and other natural ingredients.

4. Switch Shampoos

One of the simplest things you can do is switch up shampoos. If you’re currently using an off-the-shelf product with harsh chemicals and lots of additives, a transition to a specially formulated hair growth product could set you up for success. At Kiierr, we have a DHT blocking shampoo that’s specifically designed for this purpose. It contains natural ingredients like vitamin E, jojoba oil, collagen amino acids, and pro-vitamin B – all of which work together to block enzymes that turn testosterone into DHT.

This DHT blocking shampoo is proven to improve overall scalp health, while encouraging new hair growth. If you’re looking for additional help, try our DHT blocking conditioner.
