Natural Hair Loss Products

Make your own natural hair growth remedies

Making your own natural hair loss products is a great way to harness the restoring power of herbs and essential oils - and protect yourself from harmful chemicals and synthetic additives.

Do Natural Hair Loss Products Work?

A double-blind, placebo-controlled study used a combination of essential oils or a placebo oil in 86 people with alopecia areata. 

The essential oil blend combined thyme, rosemary, lavender and cedarwood in a mix of jojoba and grapeseed carrier oils. Participants massaged the essential oil blend into their scalps daily.

The control group daily massaged only the carrier oils into their scalps.

After 7 months, 44% of the participants using the essential oil blend showed improved hair growth, compared with 15% of the control group.

Have Confidence and Patience

So, yes, you can have confidence that over time you'll see results. That said, not every natural hair loss remedy will work for every person. Hair loss is caused by many different factors, and there are many different solutions.

Also, natural hair loss products often take a while to show results, so you need be patient and stick with it for a few months before trying the next one.

Now let's jump into the recipes!


Coconut Oil Scalp Massage Recipe for Hair Loss

The proteins in coconut oil help prevent protein loss, which is a major factor in breakage and hair loss.

Combining coconut oil with massage stimulates the scalp and increases the skin's absorption of nutrients. Adding essential oils and herbs to coconut hair growth massage oil increases the stimulating effect.

Ingredients

Virgin Coconut Oil

1 teaspoon Lime Juice, 3 drops Lemon or Lime essential oil, 2 drops Peppermint essential oil.

OR

1 to 5 drops Cinnamon OR Pepper essential oils. DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO SKIN - dilute in the coconut oil.

Directions

1.

Warm 1 to 2 tablespoons of Virgin Coconut Oil in a small glass or bottle until it turns from a white solid into a clear liquid.

2.

Stir in either of the above two blends.

The first time you use this treatment, use only one drop of essential oil; if your reaction is very mild, the next time increase the drops to two.

Continue increasing each time you use the treatment until you experience a mild to moderate tingling sensation. Do not overdo it - you don't want to burn your scalp, just stimulate it.

These essential oils irritate the skin, which causes the release of histamines. Histamines increase cell division, which promotes hair production.


Hibiscus Hair Pack Recipe

Hibiscus has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine to prevent hair loss, promote  healthy hair growth, give hair a boost of shine and bounce, balance the pH of the scalp and reduce frizz and split ends.

Researchers say that honey can stimulate hair follicles, which boosts hair growth. Its moisturizing properties also protect and strengthen the roots (plus smooth and condition.)

Ingredients

3oz Hibiscus Petal powder

3 tsp Honey

6 tsp Aloe Vera gel

3 tbsp plain Yogurt

Enough Coconut Milk to make a paste

10 drops Lemon essential oil

10 drops Peppermint essential oil

10 drops Rosemary essential oil

Buy Supplies

Directions

1.

Mix ingredients together, adding enough coconut milk to make a smooth paste. Stir in essential oils.

2.

Use your fingers to massage the mixture into dry hair.

3.

Pile your hair on top of your head and put on a shower cap or wrap your hair in plastic wrap. Wrap a towel around your head and relax for at least 30 minutes.

4.

Rinse your hair well, then shampoo to remove the hair pack. Do this once a week.


Herbal Hair Growth Rinse

Regardless of our hair type, we can all benefit from a herbal hair rinse. It reduces product build-up and balances the scalp's pH.

And with the right herbs and essential oils, it can also boost hair growth by stimulating hair production and normalizing over-long resting phases in the hair growth cycle. Double the bang for your buck!

Ingredients

2 cups distilled Water

3 tablespoons dried Sage

3 tablespoons dried Rosemary

2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

20 drops Lavender essential oil

20 drops Rosemary essential oil

20 drops Sage essential oil

Buy Supplies

Directions

1.

Combine the water with the herbs in a small pot and bring to a boil on the stove.

2.

Remove from the heat and let steep for 1 to 3 hours.

3.

Strain out the herbs and pour into a large dark glass or PET plastic bottle.

4.

Add the vinegar and essential oils. Shake well to mix.

After shampooing and conditioning your hair, simply pour it over your hair, rub it gently into your scalp and then either leave it in your hair to dry naturally or rinse it out and style your hair as normal.


Aloe Vera Scalp Treatment

Aloe vera cleanses the scalp, balances pH levels and eases skin irritation. It also helps activate enzymes responsible for hair growth.

And a healthy, conditioned scalp provides the ideal environment for hair growth!

Ingredients

1/4 cup (60ml) Aloe Vera gel

1 teaspoon Jojoba oil

12 drops Lavender essential oil

10 drops Rosemary essential oil

3 drops Cedarwood essential oil

Buy Supplies

Directions

Combine the ingredients in a dark glass or PET plastic bottle.

Massage 1 tablespoon of the mixture into your scalp each night before going to bed. Massage your scalp for at least 15 minutes to increase blood flow to the scalp, release tension, stimulate hair follicles and help the treatment penetrate more deeply.

BTW, here's another good source I found for learning more and buying good quality aloe vera gel.

Where to Get Supplies

Pick up honey, yogurt, coconut milk, apple cider vinegar and distilled water from the local supermarket. You can probably find virgin coconut oil and dried rosemary there too. 


I started using essential oils from doTerra after comparing them to the other brands in my stash.

I found myself using fewer drops per recipe and actually getting better results. Plus, I've never had a bad reaction, which sometimes happens with other brands.

doTerra's oils cost more than other brands, and that's as it should be. It's like buying a BMW vs. a Kia - the more expensive car is the better quality vehicle.

If you can afford them, I recommend giving doTerra's oils a try and comparing them for yourself.

You can buy doTerra's oils at retail prices by clicking the Shop button at the top. Or click Join & Save to become a wholesale customer and get a store-wide 25% discount. Message me if you want more details on the wholesale thing - why spend more than you have to, right?


I recommend Mountain Rose Herbs if you're on a tight budget. Their oils are more affordable and the quality is good. Plus they're a one-stop shop for all the other organic, sustainable aromatherapy recipe ingredients. Click the links for...

Or... If you love having tons of options to choose from, browse through Amazon and see what looks good to you. Just remember that inexpensive oils are likely to be lower in quality - how else do they get the cost so low?
