Doctor I found a bunch of so called “cures” for hair loss online can you tell me if any of these are true.
(taken from Amazines.com)
“Excess stress, lack of hair care, a dirty scalp, and the lack of nutritious foods can precipitate hair loss. As well, consuming excess amounts of caffeine, sugar, fats and carbonated drinks can cause hair loss.
On the contrary, various forms of exercises that require the body to be bent forwards or backwards will also result in increased blood flow to the scalp, which will promote healthy hair and a healthy scalp. Consuming foods rich with essential nutrients will also promote healthy hair growth.
Home remedies for hair loss are the best options, and they are safe and dirt cheap. They do not have any side effects and don’t cause any damage. And the good news is that there are so many remedies available to stop hair loss, that if one doesn’t work another one might.
One of the methods is to take some fenugreek seeds and soak them in water overnight in a big bowl. Next morning, apply the water to your scalp and wrap the head in a towel.
Let it remain like that for three hours and then shampoo to get rid of the fenugreek smell. Following this routine daily for a month may solve your problem; however, those who catch colds easily shouldn’t try this or stop as soon as they feel that they are about to catch cold.
Another method for hair loss prevention is to apply castor oil to hair roots and scalp before bedtime, yet try to avoid getting castor oil on the rest of your hair. In the morning, shampoo to remove the oil. Continue this process once every week for 7 to 10 weeks. This is one of the many hair loss treatments that may stop hair loss, although it may not work for some people. There is no harm in trying this treatment.”
If none of these are true why are so many people so ignorant on hair loss?
We all look for that miracle cure for hair loss, but it is elusive. I couldn’t begin to guess why people are ignorant about these “treatments”. Perhaps the power of suggestion is at play. Perhaps they are easy to dupe. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps…
Quite a funny list there, though. Why not apply manure to your head? I mean, fertilizer helps crops grow in the field, so why wouldn’t it work to regrow hair on your scalp? I’m sure if I put a “Rassman’s Own” label on a bag of cow droppings, someone would buy it with the express purpose of applying it to their head. Any takers?
