Hair is the glory of the woman. Men don’t mind having a head full of hair either. And for many of us, the loss of hair can be a traumatic experience, shaking our self-confidence and, even if in our own mind, limiting our effectiveness both personally and in business. So lets look for a natural cure for hair loss.

Hair loss is a problem that no one seems to want. Hair falling from the scalp is a universally common thing to happen; but the scalp losing out the hair permanently is something quite ungainly. No wonder then, there is a whole world of hair loss treatments out there, each with a diverse approach to resolve the problem.

Stress is a major cause of balding listed under the banner of toxic alopecia and stress management techniques plus vitamins supplementation could prove helpful. Vitamin B6, vitamin B5, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium play a critical role in the health of the adrenal gland as well as the manufacture of adrenal hormones.

Biotin is another effective type of hair loss vitamin. Biotin is an essential water soluble B vitamin. This helps in the processes on the genetic level in cells. Also, this can be found a number of food items, including brown rice, green peas and lentils, oats, soy beans, and various types of seeds and nuts. Taking 50 mg (3 times/day) is the recommended intake for this vitamin.

The benefits of biotin as a nutritional supplement for hair are not unfounded considering the link between biotin deficiency and the loss of hair. It is thought that biotin helps strengthen both your hair and nails; extra biotin may further help to grow hair in longer and thinker as well as prevent the loss of hair. It is for these reasons biotin is often added into quality hair growth formulations.

Vitamin B - This is the big one! While all eight of the b-complex vitamins are beneficial to some extent, b vitamins 5, 6, 7 (biotin), and 12 are most essential. These b vitamins work by promoting ample red blood cell activity (growth and division), paving the way for successful transport of oxygen and iron to your bodily tissues, including the hair follicles.

A healthy thyroid also plays a crucial role in healthy hair growth and male pattern baldness prevention. Selenium and iodine can help treat unhealthy thyroid levels. Herbs that have been found to help the thyroid are yellow dock and milk thistle.

Other Vitamins

Other vitamins that help with thinning hair are vitamins C, E and A (in the proper amounts). Vitamin E may cause high blood pressure and may interfere with clotting. Therefore, if you have high blood pressure or clotting problems, it would make sense to check with a physician before taking it.

A healthy scalp is also essential to healthy hair. Vitamin E supports a healthy scalp by helping to increase the oxygen supplied through the blood. Americans rarely suffer from a vitamin E deficiency, but increasing one’s intake of green leafy vegetables, fortified grains and cereals and nuts can help ensure that this important nutrient is adequate. Vitamin E supplements are also available for this matter.
