Top Natural Remedies for Hair Regrowth: What Really Works?

natural remedies for hair regrowth

Hair loss can be extremely distressing, and it can occur for many reasons. Your lifestyle, genetics or medication and more can all contribute to hair loss. Fortunately, there are ways you can promote hair regrowth to grow your hair and your self-confidence. 

When dealing with any kind of physical change, you may ask yourself this question: “Should I consider a medical procedure, or should I use natural methods?”

Medical Or Natural Home Remedies? Which You Should Choose For Your Hair

The answer to this question isn’t a straightforward one, because everyone’s situations, goals, budgets and comfort levels are different. What works for your neighbour may not work for you, and you may be uncomfortable with what you’re recommended.

When it comes to choosing between procedures and natural remedies, the best answer is to create a treatment plan that involves both. Taking a multifaceted approach to your hair regrowth, rather than choosing a single procedure or making one habit change, improves your chances of reaching your goals. You may be able to have a procedure done at the clinic, and then change your lifestyle to promote healthy hair growth.

For example, at The Hair Clinic, we take extra care to create personalised treatment plans for every individual we work with. We will discover why you’re experiencing hair loss, discuss our solutions and have a look at your lifestyle to see how we can remedy your situation. We can’t guarantee your results, but we can commit to providing you with the best care we can give.

Natural Ways To Promote Hair Growth: What You Can Do At Home

Hair loss can occur for many reasons. Some of these reasons are out of our control, such as genetic hair loss conditions or postpartum hair loss. However, some factors are more controllable, such as stress, diet and hair care.

For best results, we strongly recommend changing parts of your lifestyle on top of the treatments you choose at our clinic. A few ways you could promote healthy hair growth at home are:

Change Your Diet

What you eat has a very strong effect on your health, including the health of your hair. Specifically, essential fatty acids and protein are beneficial for hair growth. For essential fatty acids, you should eat fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, tuna), flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, soybean products, etc. For protein, you can eat eggs, soybean products, fish, chicken, etc. If you’re not sure what to eat, we’ll be happy to recommend ingredients.

We understand that eating a perfectly balanced diet can be challenging, especially if you lead a very busy life. We may also suggest vitamin and mineral supplements to improve your intake.

Reduce Stress

Extreme stress is very dangerous. It’s easy to dismiss your mental health when you are experiencing physical symptoms, but your mental health can exacerbate physical problems. Telogen effluvium is hair loss that’s often caused by both emotional and physical stress.

Learning to manage your stress can promote better hair regrowth and hair care, and it can ultimately improve your mental and physical health. There are so many ways to manage stress, so we strongly encourage you to explore different methods to find what works for you. If one way doesn’t work, try another, and keep trying until you’ve found multiple ways to care for yourself. You could:

  • Indulge In Your Favourite Hobbies. What makes you happy? Think about hobbies and personal pursuits, and take time to do them.

  • Exercise And Eat A Healthy Diet. Consider creating an exercise routine and changing your diet for the better. This can make you feel good physically and mentally. 

  • Get Enough Sleep. Sleep has a significant impact on performance. Try to get an appropriate amount of sleep every night.

  • Take Steps To Change Your Mindset. Changing your outlook is difficult, but it is possible. You could work with a mental health professional. You can also start small - every day, try to take some time to think about the positive parts of your life. Slowly, thinking positively can become natural. 

Be Gentle With Your Hair

Pulling on, over-brushing or heat-treating your hair can cause more shedding and other adverse reactions. Take a moment to think about your usual hair care routine. A few habits that could hurt your hair are:

  • Tugging On Your Hair. Pulling on or roughly playing with your hair could be an action that you do out of habit. If you catch yourself doing this, stop yourself and continue to stay diligent. 

  • Excessive Treatments. Bleaching, excessive dyeing and heat treatments can damage your hair. Consider gentler treatments. 

  • Too-Tight Hairstyles. Too-tight ponytails and other hairstyles can stress your hair follicles. Explore new hairstyles that don’t pull on your scalp.
