Watching your hairline slowly retreat can feel like a losing battle, the last thing you need in that situation is the stress of how much it costs to grow it back. Luckily, there are natural and inexpensive treatments that you can use to fight.
Medical News Today mentions that several herbal treatments have been found to promote hair growth, including saw palmetto, ginseng, aloe forex, oregano oil, and Indian gooseberries. It is further claimed that saw palmetto has been shown to increase hair density, improve overall hair quality, and reduce hair fall and thinning.
“Ginseng is another herbal remedy that people may find helpful. While large-scale human and animal studies are lacking, there is some evidence that Korean red ginseng can help improve hair thickness and density in people with alopecia.”
The above health publication also mentions that essential oils, traditionally used to treat various health conditions, have been found to have hair growth benefits. Rosemary and cedarwood oil have been found to increase hair growth, while peppermint oil may boost vascular formation in hair, claims the mentioned source. “Lavender oil can help prevent further hair loss within 1 month, and people may notice new hair growth within 4 weeks.”
According to the Hims publication, Finasteride and minoxidil are effective in reversing receding hairlines, but scalp massage can improve hair growth. The publication advises that you change your hairstyle to avoid traction alopecia, which can cause hair loss, and control stress levels by avoiding triggers as well as using relaxation techniques.
“Switch to styles that don’t put stress on your hair. But if you do want to pull your hair back, make sure your style isn’t too tight, especially on your hairline.”
