Below we will look at the main herbs that help with hair loss, as well as the simplest and most effective herbs.

Important advice from the editors!

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, you should pay special attention to the shampoos you use. A frightening figure - 97% of shampoos from well-known brands contain substances that poison our body. The main components due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the curls, the hair becomes brittle, loses elasticity and strength, and the color fades. But the worst thing is that this nasty stuff gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in organs and can cause cancer. We advise you not to use products that contain these substances. Recently, experts from our editorial team conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where products from Mulsan Cosmetic took first place. The only manufacturer of completely natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend visiting the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date; it should not exceed one year of storage.

Nettle

This plant is indispensable for hair. It eliminates dandruff, strengthens roots, gives hair strength, shine and thickness. It is best to use fresh young nettle (picked before the plant flowers), but dried herb will also work.

1. Pour half a liter of boiling water over a couple of tablespoons of crushed nettle leaves and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. Next, strain the broth, cool and pour into a bottle with a dispenser. Spray your hair with the decoction in the morning and evening, rubbing it into the roots of your hair. But remember that nettle infusion can only be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days - then you need to prepare a new one.
2. You can make a salt mask against hair loss, but it is worth remembering that this recipe is more suitable for those with oily scalp. Mix 100 grams of fresh nettle and a few tablespoons of salt and grind them in a blender until a thick, homogeneous mass is formed. Rub the mixture into the hair roots and rinse with water after half an hour.
3. A nettle-yeast mask is also good for hair. To prepare it, mix 1 glass of nettle decoction, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, a little honey and half a packet of yeast. Apply the mask to the hair roots, do a light massage and wrap your head with a towel. After half an hour, rinse your hair with water and shampoo.

If you are the owner of weakened, thinning hair, burdock roots will be a real salvation for you. In summer, this plant can be found in almost every garden; in winter, dried roots can be purchased at the pharmacy.

To treat baldness and strengthen the hair follicles, different recipes are used. Burdock roots are infused in alcohol and oil, brewed with nettle and sage, but the most effective recipes are presented below.

2. Burdock oil is very popular against hair loss. You can buy it at a pharmacy or prepare it yourself, because it is not a product of pressing raw materials, but an infusion, that is, ordinary base oil (olive, sunflower, almond) infused with burdock roots. Masks with burdock oil are very useful for baldness; they should be done at least 2-3 times a week.
3. To strengthen and grow hair, you can prepare a simple but very effective mask. Mix 4 tablespoons of burdock decoction and 1 spoon of cognac, add a little honey and 2 tablespoons of onion juice.

Chamomile

It is not without reason that there are many rumors about the power of chamomile. This inconspicuous-looking flower is a universal remedy that can cure almost all diseases. It is not surprising that chamomile fights baldness as effectively as many modern masks and serums.

In folk cosmetology they use:

• infusions and decoctions of chamomile flowers;
• chamomile alcohol tinctures;
• chamomile oil (infusion);
• essential oil of chamomile flowers;
• chamomile hydrolate (flower water).

Almost all of these remedies can be easily prepared at home, and all of them can be purchased at a pharmacy or “life shop”.

Strain the resulting infusion, add several pieces of rye bread without crust and stir until smooth. Apply the mask to your hair, especially carefully rubbing it into the scalp. After two hours, rinse the mixture with water without using detergents.

Hop

Most people associate this plant with beer, but in addition to the brewing industry, hops are also used in cooking and cosmetology. Hops are also used against baldness.

1. Pour half a liter of vodka over hop cones (2-3 spoons) and leave for two days. It is very useful to massage the scalp with the resulting tincture. This will not only stop hair loss, but also get rid of oily dandruff and normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
2. Mix dry hop cones with calendula and burdock root in a ratio (2:1:3) and fill the mixture with water. Boil the herbs over low heat for half an hour, filter through cheesecloth and rinse your hair after each wash.
3. Hops go well with calamus, mint, linden, and burdock. A decoction of hops can be used to dilute homemade masks based on oatmeal, clay and other ingredients.

Collections of medicinal herbs

Women with sparse hair cease to feel confident and attractive, become fixated on the problem and even lead themselves to a nervous breakdown.

2. Plants are definitely absorbed by humans better than synthetic medications, and they do not have a toxic effect on the body.
3. Medicinal plants are not addictive: you can use them for as long as necessary until complete recovery.
4. Herbal medicine can treat hair loss caused by stress, immune disorders, vitamin deficiency and improper care of hair. However, if the problem arose due to hormonal, fungal or viral diseases, it is better to supplement natural therapy with medication. Also, hair loss can be stopped with the help.
5. Using herbs, you don’t have to be afraid of cosmetic counterfeits and a waste of money.
