10 Best Natural Supplements for Hair Loss

While there are a variety of prescription medications that can be obtained through online doctors for your convenience and affordability, there are also many natural DIY remedies that you can use at home.  Here i will see 10 natural supplements, vitamins and other ingredients that can improve your hair.

 1. Vitamin A

 Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is highly relevant to the health of your hair and scalp.  Products with Vitamin A strengthen and protect hair from future damage.  Healthline writes, "All cells need vitamin A for growth. This includes hair, the fastest growing tissue in the human body. Vitamin A also helps skin glands make an oily substance called sebum. Sebum moisturizes the scalp and helps keep hair healthy. Diets deficient in vitamin A may lead to several problems, including hair."

 You can buy vitamin A as a single supplement or buy a multi vitamin that contains vitamin A.  Vitamin A occurs naturally in meat, fish and organs.

 2. Protein

 Like vitamin A, protein is essential for hair growth.  In fact, protein is important for the development of different parts of your body, such as muscles and skin.  According to Web MD, "Protein is important to strengthen hair and promote growth. The recommended daily amount is about two to three 3-ounce servings of meat or a combination of four to five servings of dairy and beans."

 You can consume more protein by drinking a protein shake or by adding more meat, fish and poultry to your diet.  Protein is also naturally obtained from seeds, nuts, and soy products.

 3. Collagen

 Collagen provides the amino acids to your hair that are needed to make keratin.  Keratin is a protein that makes hair.  Collagen can be consumed, but is often applied topically in creams, hair masks, special shampoos or treatments.

 Collagen is known to protect the skin and does the same for your hair.  Provides stretch and needs to reduce hair breakage.

 4. Iron

 People with iron deficiency often suffer from hair loss.  This is because iron supports the production of hemoglobin, which is essential for healthy hair.  Dr Gray of Women's Day writes, "Korean researchers found that proper iron levels can help combat hair loss in women... Iron is required for the formation of red blood cells which carry oxygen and nutrients to the hair to help it grow."

 Iron can be taken as a supplement, or eaten in pumpkin seeds, firm tofu, dried apricots and other ingredients.

 5. Biotin

 Biotin is another thing that is necessary for your hair to stay healthy and strong.  Without biotin, the nails become brittle and other parts of your body get hurt.  Wilma Bergald, MD, a dermatologist who writes for the Cleveland Clinic, explains."We find biotin to be very helpful for hair disorders... It also makes nails thicker, and oral biotin is exceedingly safe, even in large doses."

You can get biotin as a supplement through an online prescription, or consume more spinach, sweet potatoes and eggs.

 6. Folic Acid

 Folic acid is often prescribed to pregnant women to help in the development of infants in the womb.  Folic acid also supports healthy growth of skin, nails and hair.  Folic acid rich hair growth treatment increases thickness, smoothness and strength.

 Folic acid works by promoting healthy red blood cells which are essential for strong, healthy hair.  You can find folic acid found naturally in legumes, pasta and rice.

 7. Zinc

 Hair repair is often a precursor to a thick hairstyle.  When hair follicles can be cured better, they are more likely to grow naturally.  Zinc also provides a service by regulating oil on the scalp.  It reduces scaly dandruff and oily hair.

 If your hair loss is due to zinc deficiency, then taking zinc will improve hair growth and improve almost immediately.  You can get more zinc through oral supplements, or by eating whole grains, legumes and seafood.

 8. Gingko Biloba

 Gingko biloba is known for its many health related properties, some of which increase blood circulation as well as feed the follicle with important nutrients.  Hair loss is caused by many problems related to health, age and hormones.  Gingko biloba supplements have shown great success in reducing thinness and loss while promoting thick, strong hair.

 9. Horsetail

 Horsetail is often taken in capsule form to treat hair loss.  Hair thinning can sometimes be caused by nutritional deficiencies.  Ponytail is a great resource to connect your hair with the nutrients it desperately needs.  It helps the scalp and follicles absorb other nutrients and vitamins that feed them.

 If you have skin and scalp problems, horsetail can help reduce redness, smooth texture, and improve dryness or oiliness.  Some people use horsetail for hair loss by diluting it with water and spraying it straight to the hair.  Regardless of how you choose your hair with ponytail, you can relax knowing that thinning and loss are difficult to fix.

 10. Rosemary

 Rosemary oil is a treatment used on the scalp.  Some studies have shown that henna oil works similar to prescription treatments like minoxidil.  Like other essential oils, Rosemary oil can be slightly intense if placed directly on the skin.  Instead, many users mix henna oil with coconut oil, or even olive oil, before spraying it on the scalp.

 Henna oil also works well as a mask, leave it on your hair for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water, and rinse again if you still have too much oil to style and  Use as usual.
