It is completely normal to loss hair every single day. In fact 10% of the time our hair is in a resting phase. The other 90% of the time it is in the growth phase. At any rate our hair is in a constant state of growing and falling out. The hairs that fall out are quickly replaced by new hair. Only when this process is out of whack do we notice significant hair thinning. Hair loss can be attributed to several factors: including childbirth, menopause, chemotherapy, alopecia, hormone imbalance, heredity, radiation therapy and aging.

The good news is there are many hair thinning remedies that can be implemented with success. Not only can you stop hair from falling but you can re-grow hair as well. A few of the natural hair thinning remedies include:

1. Vitamins A, B, C and E are good hair growth promoters. The best way to get them is naturally through the foods you eat. There are several ways these vitamins work to promote hair growth. They provide sebum and promote blood circulation to the scalp by increasing oxygen absorption and collagen.

2. Proper Scalp Management: It is good to massage your scalp regularly with herbal oils. Use products like olive oil, jojoba oil, amla oil. There are reports that alopecia areata can be effectively treated with essential oils of thyme, rosemary, lavender and cedar wood.

3. Avoid Scalp Abuse: Blow drying and using chemical shampoos daily are to be avoided. Chemical processes like coloring as well as straightening can damage your hair and scalp. Your, hair is stripped of natural oils and turns brittle if you wash it daily with hot water.

4. Herbal care - Use herbal powders such as amla, shikakai, henna and ritha to shampoo and condition hair. The richest source of natural vitamin C is amla powder known for its effect in preventing graying and hair loss. It is also a powerful anti-oxidant. If you want a thorough hair cleanser which does not rob hair of its natural oil, choose Shikakai, also know as the Fruit for hair. It has a natural low pH. Henna is a wonder natural conditioner after this.

5. Limit Stress: To do this, do exercises and meditation. Remember stress initiates hair loss.

6. Stop Smoking: Smoking causes constriction of the blood vessels which supply blood to the scalp. This is just one of many of the benefits you get from eliminating smoking.

7. FDA Evaluated Hair Thinning Remedies: The Internet is filled with products that make excessive claims. Stick to hair thinning remedies and products that contain ingredients that have been evaluated by the FDA.
