Natural Tips for Gray Hair

Scientists have noticed that the condition of your hair actually reveals a lot about the level of stress in your life over time. Chinese medicine often attributes many hair issues to a decline in your vital essence, brought on by stress, overwork, physical and emotional strain, and unhealthy lifestyle, as well as too much alcohol.  While stress reduction is at the forefront of most peoples minds, what else can you do if your hair woes are already showing?

Gray Hair:

Eat healthier for hair health – Black sesame seeds, black beans, and walnuts help reverse graying. For health and shiny hair, try eating foods everyday that are rich in essential fatty acids and omega-rich nutrients such as flaxseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, virgin coconut oil, avocado, beans, nuts and seeds.

Color your hair naturally – If you want to dye your hair, use natural colorants such as henna. These natural shades can be used by both light and dark hair colors to help dye and cover unwanted gray hair.

Hair Loss:

Hair growth is affected by the hormonal system. It is quite normal to lose around 100 hairs every day, which are then replaced just days after. However, with age hormone levels fluctuate and start to often decline. This reduces the stimulus to the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

Ginger juice helps hair loss – Massage your scalp with fresh ginger juice. This will help stimulate the hair follicles on the affected part of your scalp and help stimulate healthy hair growth.

Scalp Issues/Dandruff:

It is normal for everyone to have some degree of dandruff on any given day. Your scalp undergoes regular regeneration and dead skin is shed to allow new skin growth. The flaking associated with dandruff can become worse when hormonal imbalances, stress, and improper diet come into play. Dandruff is at its worst during winter and fall when the air tends to be dry.

Apply aloe vera juice – Squeeze some aloe juice directly from the stem of the plant and massage into the scalp once a day, preferably before bedtime, for an entire month to help reduce dandruff or itchy scalp.

Baking soda head scrub – In the shower, wet your hands and scrub baking soda vigorously into your scalp.

Soak your scalp in green tea – Prepare a mild green tea and soak your scalp in it for 10-15 minutes, shampooing it out with olive oil, avocado oil or a hypoallergenic shampoo.

Find your own natural way to prevent gray hair, hair loss and scalp problems effectively. Reduce your stress, live a healthier lifestyle and try to go natural to nourish your hair back to health.
