Natural African American hair loss at temples and top?
I am an African American woman and I decided to go natural about 6 months ago. I suffer from a skin condition that prevents me from using a wide variety of products on my hair due to allergic reactions. During the time when this condition started I suffered hair loss on my temples and in the top of my hair. I’ve tried a few products but nothing really seems to work. I can;t use anything heavy or harsh so if anyone has any tips then i would greatly appreciate them. I’m thinking about taking Biotin for hair and starting an exercise regime also if you have any tips on that.
I’m very sorry but biotin won’t actually help unless your deficient in biotin in the first place. If you are then it will work with growing hair.
My suggestion would be natural remedies.
1)supplements:
-Chlorella (stimulates growth and thickness; introduce this into your system slowly it detoxes)
-PABA (Used for graying hair)
-silica (keeps hair looking shiny and sleek)
-VIT B COMPLEX (B VITAMINS ARE IMPORTANT FOR GROWTH OF HAIR)
-Unsaturated fatty Acids (primrose oil,linseed oil)(Enhances hair texture, prevents dry, brittle hair)
-PANTOTHENIC ACID (B5) Helps maintain hair
-vitamin b6 enhances growth
-INOSITOL stimulates growth
-NIACIN (B3) helps hair absorb nutrients
-VITAMIN C increases scalp circulation
-VITAMIN E increases scalp circulation, hair growth and oxygen to cells
-ZINC promotes hair growth by enhancing immune function
-COPPER CHELATE works with zinc to aid in hair growth
-COENZYME Q10 enhances scalp circulation,increases tissue oxygenation
-KELP supplies minerals for hair growth
-GH (GROWTH HORMONE) stimulates growth
-Pregnenolone stimulates cell growth
2)AMINO ACIDS:
-L-CYSTEINE improves hair growth and texture
-L-METHIONINE helps prevent hair from falling out
-GLUTATHIONE stimulates skin, glands and soft tissue
-OMITHINE releases growth hormone
3) herbs for growth
-alfafa
-birch leaves
-burdock
-calendula (Marigold)
-chaparral
-comfrey
-dwarf nettle
-horsetail
-maiden hair
-nettle
-peppermint (Pure peppermint oil needs to be diluted with a carrier oil such as olive oil)
-rosemary
-wormwood if worms in scalp is a factor
4)food for growth
-asparagus,
-barley
-buckweat
-cabbage
-figs
-kelp
-millet
-oats
-onions
-rice
-romaine lettuce
-rye
-sesame seeds
-spinach
-strawberries
-tomatoes
The best time to take vitamins is during the day, after a meal.
Never take supplements on an empty stomach – they will quickly pass out in your urine. This is especially true for the B and C vitamins that dissolve in water.
Though each of the scientifically proven treatments for hair loss and hair thinning described in this article is a potentially promising hair re-growth therapy, none of the treatments can be called a permanent solution to hair loss or hair thinning. Each treatment for hair loss must be used diligently over a given period of time before initial growth results materialize, and even then once re-growth has occurred, each hair loss and thinning treatment must be continued indefinitely in order to maintain results. As of this writing, science has simply not provided us with a viable, permanent scientifically proven solution or treatment for hair loss or hair thinning problems.

You can make your own hair tea or growth oil and massage it into the scalp nightly. Here is my recipe that I’m currently using:
Hair Tea:
Peppermint Tea Bags
Rosemary Tea Bags or fresh Rosemary leaves
Horsetail capsules (open the capsules) I use this one because I couldn’t find plain horsetail powder
Bring some water to a boil. Place in 4 peppermint tea bags, a couples sprigs of rosemary and open about 10-15 horsetail capsules. Let the tea steep. The longer the better. Get a spray bottle from the Dollar Store. Pour the tea into the bottle. The only downside to the hair tea is that you have to keep it refrigerated or it will be bad. Use a light spritz in the morning and in the evening.
Growth Oil:
Olive Oil, Castor Oil, or Coconut Oil (whichever you have on hand or you can mix all 3)
Rosemary Essential oil
Lavendar Essential oil
Peppermint Essential Oil
Clary Sage Essential Oil
I don’t have exact measurements. I usually just fill a bottle with olive oil and add the drops of essential oil to that. This mix is very light and doesn’t weigh the hair down. CAUTION: The Rosemary is very strong so use a light hand with it.

I make both the tea and oil for me and my daughter to use. AMAZING results.
