Dealing with hair loss? Concerned about how your comb or brush comes away with hair? It can be really frustrating watching your crowning glory slowly slip away. Don't worry. A lot of people go through this, and there are definitely things you can do about it. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, most people lose 50–100 strands each day, as old hair falls out, and new hair regrows from the same hair follicles.
While there are medical treatments available, there are also a lot of natural remedies that can be quite effective. “The condition (hair loss) can occur at any age but is more common among: men aged 50 years or older and women during menopause,” states an article on Medical News Today, that claims that while some home remedies have scientific backing most need further testing.
Here are some popular and effective home remedies for hair loss from onion juice to egg yolks and even green tea. These remedies can help strengthen your hair follicles, stimulate growth, and reduce shedding.
