What ingredients combine well to treat baldness?

We often get asked if there is a special home-made remedy that can treat and potentially cure the effects of baldness and thinning hair.  It should be noted that there is no cure for balding, but certain ingredients combined into a remedy can indeed counter hair loss and encourage healthy hair growth.

Basing this remedy on what hair beneficiary ingredients already work, here is a topical home-made solution that should help you tackle hair loss safely, effectively and most importantly of all, on the cheap.

Argan Oil

Get yourself a glass amber 250ml dropper bottle (the amber glass helps preserve the formula), a funnel and a jug.  Add 100ml of Argan Oil base solution.  Argan Oil acts as an excellent base formula, and it is very beneficial to hair strands.

Biotin

Biotin has been called 'hair food' and rightly so since one of the effects seen most often is an increased rate of growth in the hair when taking biotin supplements on a daily basis. Add 50ml of Biotin liquid form to your jug. Biotin liquid is easily accessible from your local health store or on online.

Folic Acid

Folic acid, an essential B vitamin, is vital to the proper functioning of the human body. A deficiency in folic acid can cause a host of medical problems, including the stunting of hair growth. Be sure to add around 25ml of pure Folic Acid liquid to your formula.

Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto can play a huge role in preventing hair loss. It is thought to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This is an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that has been found to damage hair follicles. In men, DHT is the primary contributing factor to pattern baldness, and in women, DHT is one of several possible causes of hair-loss.  So, with that said, add around 25ml of Saw Palmetto liquid to your solution.

MSM

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organic sulphur compound that occurs naturally in some plants and foods. It is sold as a dietary supplement, and is commonly used to treat a variety of ailments. MSM has become a popular supplement for promoting fast, healthy hair growth.  Add 25ml of MSM liquid to your solution.

Collagen

Collagen helps support the functioning of hair follicles. Be sure to add 25ml of Collagen to your solution.  Collagen works well in conjunction with Biotin in supporting healthy hair growth.

Stir the 250ml solution in your jug, then fill the amber glass dropper bottle, using a funnel, with your finished solution.  Apply about 5ml of the solution onto your scalp each morning and at night.
