8 ways to save your thinning hair

Natural health remedies

There are other natural ingredients touted to have a hair-restoring effect too. Ginseng extract works by reducing stress to help balance hormones (thought to reduce DHT production from testosterone). Nettle extract is also known to inhibit DHT production. There is also plantain, menthol, horse chestnut, and capsaicin.

I realize there are many oils that are used for hair health, but they have very little effect on stopping its loss or thickening hair. I personally use Marula oil on my skin and hair and love it. Consider also Argan oil, Jojoba oil, Burdock root oil, and the essential oils lavender and peppermint.
