The Best Natural Oils to Prevent Further Hair Loss

Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including illness, poor nutrition, hormonal changes, stress, genetics, poor circulation of blood to the scalp and even dandruff. Depending upon the reason for the hair loss, natural oils can be very effective in preventing further hair loss.

Types

• Amla oil is made by boiling dry pieces of amla in coconut oil. It is considered to be one of the simplest and most effective oils for preventing hair loss. Other types of natural oils proven to be effective in preventing further hair loss include a daily application of coconut oil mixed with lime water or lime juice; boiling 250 grams of mustard oil with 100 grams of henna leaves and applying it to the scalp; regular use of castor oil as a hair oil; applying a paste made of hot olive oil, honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for about 15 minutes; and massaging almond oil on the scalp two or three times a day on a daily basis.

  Another popular hair loss remedy is a hot oil conditioner made by applying some warm olive oil to the scalp, combing it through the hair with a wide-tooth comb, leaving it on overnight and then washing out in the morning with a mild shampoo.

Alternatives

• Besides applying natural oils to the hair and scalp to prevent further hair loss, natural oils that are obtained through diet, such as fish oil, can also be a safe and effective way to stop hair loss. Evening primrose oil, which is a good source of gamma linolenic acid, is also worth a try.
