Best Natural Hair Loss Treatments for the Winter

1. Moisturize your hair and scalp with hair oil to help with hair loss

If you live someplace where the winters are cold or dry your climate could be affecting your hair growth. More often than not, exposure to the harsh cold elements and constant transition to heated indoors for holiday parties can remove moisture from our hair, causing hair to lose its shine and be more susceptible to static, split ends and breakage. Plus, a dry climate and overstyling from social gatherings can lead to scalp irritation, dandruff and heat tool damage which can affect hair health and growth.

To help keep hair hydrated, healthy and long, try this DIY overnight coconut oil hair and scalp mask.

Here’s how coconut oil helps hair loss, naturally:

- Penetrates the hair shaft, unlike other oils that just sit on top - Moisturizes the scalp and helps with dandruff and inflammation - Contains fatty acids to help repair and prevent split ends - Antioxidants in oil keep hair follicles healthy and stimulate growth - Keeps hair from losing protein while washing – hair stays thicker - Helps prevent breakage allowing hair to grow longer

Tip: Add a little peppermint oil to your hair mask for a festive scent- the peppermint will help stimulate your scalp!

 

 

2. Give yourself the gift of a scalp massage to help with hair loss this winter season

If you want to naturally grow fuller hair this holiday season start at the scalp. Science shows that scalp health is key to hair health and preventing hair loss. Your scalp is the production centre for hair, with each strand growing from an individual follicle that relies on blood circulation to carry nutrients and vitamins to the follicle to help support a normal growth cycle.

If seasonal social gatherings and stress get in the way of your scalp and hair health the best natural hair loss treatment to start with is a simple head massage! It’s easy to remember to do in the shower, don’t shampoo your hair too often, but when you do make sure you use a hair thickening shampoo and give your head a good scrub. Use a lot of friction with your fingertips all over your scalp to help stimulate blood flow, wake up dormant follicles and encourage hair to grow.

Tip: Add a hair growth serum to your scalp before you give it a good massage for added hair loss support, such as the Grofully Hair Regrowth Treatment.

 

3. Include these festive hair foods into your diet to help with hair loss

The best way to naturally support your hair growth through the holidays is by eating! Hair loss happens for a number of reasons (sometimes more than one) but at the end of the day, if our diet isn’t comprised of enough of the key nutrients and minerals that hair needs to grow our hair will shed and dormant follicles can shrink. Some of the essentials your hair needs include protein, biotin, vitamin D, vitamin C, iron and zinc, among others.

Consider adding these festive foods onto your next grocery list as a tasty way to naturally help grow your hair over the holidays:

- 🥕 Carrots: Contain vital growth-promoting vitamins such as vitamin A and biotin which help accelerate keratin production to grow strong strands.

- 🎃 Pumpkin: Contain Biotin (B-7) which is the king of the B vitamins because it promotes super hair growth. B-7 also aids in the production of keratin protein.

- 🥜 Dried Nuts & Fruit: Nuts and fruit are a rich source of protein, healthy fats, and zinc. Zinc and is important for hair growth, but our bodies cant make it on our own. The best sources of these vital elements are nuts and seeds.

Tip: The holidays are busy and finding time to eat right can be tough. Try a hair loss supplement to help with diet deficiencies and grow hair easily.
