Safety first

• Ask your doctor
  
  Before beginning any hair loss treatment, it is always best to consult a doctor about the problem. In general, about 95 percent of all hair loss is hereditary, but for the other 5 percent there may be an underlying factor such as an illness.
  
  To be absolutely sure about your thinning or loss of hair, get a professional opinion first and make sure that in all respects your body is healthy and able to support new hair growth. In this way, if a complication is found, it can be diagnosed first and quite possibly, once treated, you may no longer have a hair-loss problem.
  
  

Pumpkin seeds

• Pumpkin seeds for hair loss
  
  The common pumpkin yields seeds that are rich in oil, which Native Americans have considered a remedy for hair loss. It is thought that the active ingredient is a substance called 'cucurbitin' which has also been used by Native Americans as a cure for enlarged prostate.
  
  Pumpkin seed oil is supposed to affect the DHT level, which is a type of testosterone that stunts hair growth, thereby allowing hair follicles to allow healthy and sustained hair growth.The oil can be obtained at any any natural or herbal remedy co-op or store, and instructions should be followed for dosage.
  
  

Aloe Vera

• Aloe vera plant
  
  We all know the healing and moisturizing properties of Aloe Vera, but Native Americans considered this to be a potent way to prevent hair loss.
  
  The most common recipe is to add Aloe vera with coconut milk and wheat germ oil which is then to be used as a shampoo. It is said to clean out hair follicle pores as well as maintaining the perfect pH balance, which promotes strong hair growth.
  
  Follow package directions for the correct mixture of Aloe to oil to milk.
  
  

Jojoba oil

• Pure and natural jojoba oil
  
  Another Native American remedy that is considered a good way to stop hair loss is Jojoba oil.
  
  It has been used for centuries to promote healthy and growing hair, but the benefits are several-fold.
  
  Jojoba oil will also combat many scalp ailments, such as dandruff, seborrhea or psoriasis, and it is tolerated well by hypoallergenic skin. It is also a moisturizer that resembles the natural scalp oil secretion called sebum, which will improve the overall look and feel of your hair.
  
  Jojoba oil can be found in any health food or herbal remedy shop.
