Historic Ways to Regrow Lost Hair

Hair loss and an endless search for the causes of thinning hair has been an ongoing problem for all sorts of cultures for many, many centuries. 

So along with this comes numerous remedies and practises to restore hair.

If you are struggling with the same problem, learning about how others have dealt with it can help you find your own treatment for hair loss.

The first culture known to have tried various techniques to bring back hair growth is the Egyptians.

Looking young was very important to them so hair restoration was a big deal.

Maybe this was their idea of Hair Loss Shampoos. They applied chopped lettuce leaves to bald patches which eventuated into a sign of manhood. This technique coupled with scalp massages with natural nutrients allowed for more growth to occur.

The resin of Fir Tree extracts was used as it was also known to help reduce hair loss.

Avocado leaves were used to make infusions then applied in the scalp area for the culture of sub-Sahara in South Africa. Olive oil after being steeped in flowers was used as a tonic for the scalp.

Both of these techniques helped nutrients make their way to the scalp area.

One of India’s favourite techniques to help with hair loss was the treatment of sage leafs covered in coconut oil. Once boiled in the coconut oil, the sage leaf would be applied to the areas on the scalp where the hair was thinning.

Sometimes they would use black pepper, Fenugreek powder or Amla oil - one of the world's oldest natural hair conditioners - mixed with Coconut oil or milk to provide the head with nutrients.

In Victorian American culture, the common belief was the more you brushed your hair, the less likely it will be for your hair to fall out or go bald.

However there were still those who did lose their hair and for this they would apply cologne, spirit of camphor, tincture and various other roots to their thinning hair each night.

Water mixed with Jamaica Rum, Glycerin, Ammonia and Rosemary Oil was applied to help prevent hair loss.

Hair loss has affected men and woman of many cultures for centuries. Most remedies for hair loss had a basis on what is known to help prevent it today.

Natural herbs, nutrients and preservatives are still being employed to help stop thinning hair but put a stop to it entirely would be most welcome.

Both genders have troubles with self-esteem in the face of hair loss in today’s society and are constantly looking for helpful ideas to regrow lost hair - just like the cultures of past centuries.
