Hair is something most people take for granted. That is, unless you do not have any. Baldness is a big concern affecting over 40 million men in the United States alone. Baldness does not discriminate. Female hair loss is on the rise. Consequently, both men and women are seeking a natural hair loss remedy.

People are tired spending billions on prescription drugs. Several popular home remedies that are reported to make hair grow and prevent additional loss include:

* Lime and amla juice used the same way you would a shampoo.
* Mustard oil and henna leaves mixed together stops thinning and loss
* Coconut oil and lime juice or lime water is another that is used to keep you from losing your tresses.

What Are Some Natural Products That Will Slow The Loss?

1) Herbal Blends
Mixtures containing herbs such as rosemary, burdock, sage and nettle are great for the tresses. The use of these herbs have shown promise when you shampoo daily. They help to keep the scalp clean, stimulate the roots and allow thicker growth. They are also contained in many products that are applied to the scalp at night or that are applied as a pretreament before shampooing.

2) Essential Oils
Oils from bay leaves, lavender and soybean can stimulate the hair follicles to grow faster. Massaging the oils from these natural plants are beneficial for promoting a healthy scalp and in turn healthier hair.

3) Natural Products That Lower DHT
Using herbal products that lower DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is one of the best ways to prevent loss. DHT is the primary cause for hair loss. Hair follicles react to DHT by becoming thinner and thinner and eventually withering away. Products that lower DHT decrease hair loss as well increase growth.

4) Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is used to moisturize the scalp. The oil's molecular structure is very similar to the natural oil that our glands in the scalp produce. Massaging jojoba oil in the scalp stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles allowing new cell growth. Jojoba oil has been used as a remedy for many years, especially in Mexico.

Make no mistake about it, natural products can not only slow down loss, but some actually promote new growth. Natural remedies have been used for years in many cultures. So when you look for products to help slow down the loss of hair, make sure to look for a natural hair loss remedy.
