How to Make Hair Grow Back

Most cultures since the beginning of human civilization have valued healthy, strong hair as a sign of beauty and virility. In addition to stress, hormonal imbalance and genetics, an unhealthy scalp is one of the reasons for hair loss. In order to make hair grow back, it is important to maintain a healthy scalp and healthy roots. Much like vegetables and other greenery won't grow in unhealthy soil, beautiful, thick hair won't grow on a damaged scalp.
