My hair is failing off in an alarming rate & it has lost all life...I know I should see a dermatologist but I can't at the moment (expenses sigh!) can you guys suggest some very effective home remedies please? It has also started fizzing out a lot & there is absolutely no shine or life to my hair anymore even though I don't use styling tools or hair products at all (other than the necessary ones of course...shampoo, conditioner).& I do oil (olive) my hair once a week.
Any suggestion?

Maybe try some vitamin s it sounds more like a health issue as opposed to mis treating your hair , there are lots to choose from for strengthening hair and nails. hope this helps...they do work I had the same issue a few months ago...

@Sabrina no I have never colored my hair in the last 7 years. No chemical treatment at all!

Try hot oil treatments with Jamaican black castor oil and coconut oil. Both are excellent remedies for hair loss.

@Erneshia Can I get Jamaican caster oil on line somewhere? I won't find it here :( & could the normal castor oil be used instead?

There are hair shampoos that are supposed to help with stopping hair loss..rogaine makes one for women.

Take biotin supplements, they were very affordable. I'd also recommend a multi vitamin if you don't already take one. Biotin for sure though.

Salmon pills or fish oils help with just about everything!

Thanks @Chloe. @Allie, No I don't take any, thanks for reminding, it seems I really should though & I'll check out Biotin supplements.
@Jen, thanks :)

The same things going on with my hair but my prob is due to bleaching and relaxing. I know you said going to s derm is expensive right now but if I were you I would really go to a doctor. If you really can't then try to eat as healthy as you can lots of green veggies and take biotin. Good luck.

Check with the doc to see if a thyroid problem thats causing the hair loss. also minoxodil products will help with hair growth.

Maybe you can try prenatal vitamins...

@Melissa...I never thought about a mineral deficiency...thank you for pointing out, will check them out too.
@Pamela, yes I have tried minoxidil products, for about 5 months & they do help stop hair fall but my problem persisted as soon as I stopped using it. Like I will have to keep using it forever.
@Jessica prenatal vitamins?! well I thought those are only intended to use when you are pregnant.

Add almonds walnuts and amla (indian gooseberry) to your diet.. mix olive oil, almond oil, castor oil... warm it a bit over nite oiling... wash with mild shampoo the next day.. do not forget to condition your hair...


one natural way : grind 4-5 tbsp. of fenugreek seeds with one cup of yogurt.. apply on scalp.. leave for an hour... wash it off with mild shampoo... this strenghthens the roots gives new life to hair!!
