Reverse Hair Loss and More ....
If you feel like you’re shedding more hair lately, it’s not just you. Dry air and icy temperatures make winter prime time for hair thinning. Luckily, restoring volume is easy and has bonus health benefits…
Also TENSE?
Add in sandalwood
This oil is rich in a compound (santalol) that boosts the scalp’s production of growth hormones by 30% in six days, British research suggests. These hormones are key for hair health, says dermatologist Ralf Paus, M.D., because they help follicles stay in their active growth phase longer. Just add 4 drops to your daily dollop of shampoo.
Bonus: Breathing in the scent of sandalwood prompts the release of calming alpha brain waves, which Japanese scientists say soothes tension in 2 minutes.
Also BLAH?
Eat avocados
They brim with copper and vitamin B-5, nutrients that energize follicles to increase hair thickness by up to 35%, University of Connecticut researchers say.
Another plus: The fruit’s healthy plant fats prod the brain to release mood-boosting serotonin, cutting the risk of winter blues by up to 70% if you enjoy one daily, Chinese scientists say.
Also DRY SKIN?
Sip bamboo leaf tea
This mild, earthy-sweet brew has up to 10 times more of the hair-nourishing mineral silica than any other tea. No wonder Brazilian scientists say sipping a mug daily ups hair thickness by as much as 33%. Another benefit: Dermatologist Jean Ortonne, M.D., says silica heals sensitive skin, preventing redness and itching.
Also TIRED?
Pop omega-3s
Taking 2,000 mg. of fish oil daily can halt winter shedding, plus encourage the growth of thicker hair for 86% of women studied, research in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found. Thanks goes to fish oil’s omega-3 fats, which boost nutrient- rich blood flow to the scalp while soothing follicle damaging inflammation.
More good news: Fish oil ups your focus and pep by 55% in eight weeks, say Norwegian researchers.
Suds away!
Shampooing thoroughly then rinsing well whisks away the form of testosterone (5DHT) that speeds follicle aging and makes hair weak and brittle.
Give your scalp a gentle but thorough wash every 24 to 48 hours, and Stanford University researchers say you could see a noticeable improvement in hair strength within six months.
Good news!
‘Stress shedding’?
Belgian scientists say once life calms down, hair growth soars by up to 75% in 3 months.
Note: Check with a doctor before supplementing.
