Hair loss, also known as Alopecia, is not something anyone wants to experience in his or her life. For both men and women, it can mean a total loss of self-esteem, and a feeling of humiliation and embarrassment. Hair loss affects about 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States. A stunning 40% men have hair lost by the age of 35, and 65% have hair loss by the age of 60. There are products such as Propecia, Rogaine, and Avodart to stop or reverse hair loss, but besides the fact that there is no guarantee that they will work, they are also expensive treatments.

There are many natural treatments that you can do at home to stop or reverse the hair loss that you should try before taking a dramatic step towards hair replacement surgery. Massaging your scalp should be started in your early 30's before you notice any significant hair loss. For just a couple of minutes a day, lightly take your fingers and gently massage your scalp from front to back. It can stimulate the blood flow to the hair follicles that may cause some minor hair growth. At the very least it can stop the hair loss in minor cases.

Aromatherapy is another natural option that is used to stimulate your scalp also. You can blend together 6 drops each of lavender and essential bay oils, mixed with 4 drops of almond, sesame oil, or soybean. You should massage it into your scalp and let it sit there for 20 minutes at least 4 times a week. Licensed aroma therapists recommend doing this on a daily basis. Jojoba is oil that the Native Americans have used for centuries to promote hair growth. It is not only great for hair, but also used as a moisturizer when rubbed into your skin.

When used externally, sage and rosemary are two herbs that have shown benefits. You should boil the rosemary and sage together with peach leaf, burdock, and nettle. Strain the loose herbs from the liquid, and then you can use the liquid to wash your hair daily. This should slow down any future hair loss and possibly increase the hair that you are getting.

Aloe Vera has commonly been used to stop hair loss, and again was used by Native Americans for centuries. Aloe's benefit is that it heals the scalp while promoting hair gain. It balances the pH level of your scalp while cleaning out the pores in your scalp to stop oily hair from breaking and weakening. Just add a small amount of Aloe Vera to coconut milk and wheat germ oil and use this as a shampoo, and you should see results fairly quickly.

A simple solution that most people overlook is the cleansing of your hair. It sounds so easy, but some people don't wash their hair in a correct way. They are too rough with the scalp and hair. When washing your hair you need to do so in a very gentle way. Massage the scalp by slowly running your fingers through your hair, and don't scratch the scalp. Don't over shampoo; the normal amount that you should shampoo is twice a week for normal hair, or four times a week for oily hair. When you over wash your hair it gets weaker and breaks till eventually it doesn't grow back. Finally, don't squeeze the water out at the end, just let it drip naturally. If you follow the proper cleansing and try a few of these natural remedies you may have some luck in stopping the hair loss pattern.
