Saturday, December 17, 2011

The thought of losing your hair is scary to a lot of people. There are numerous different creams and surgical procedures that doctors and salesmen love to push on people as the one way to keep from losing your hair or to get your hair back. What consumers don’t realize is that there are all natural ways to increase hair growth. Some of them are dwelling right in your refrigerator.

Check out your diet. What you’re eating or not eating could be killing your hair.  Foods that are high in protein help increase hair growth because this is what hair is made out of, protein. Types of foods recommended are peanut butter, steak, fish, whey, chicken and cottage cheese. These are all rich in protein and will promote hair growth. Other foods don’t necessarily kill your hair but a lack of protein robs hair follicles of the nutrients they need. Don’t forget to drink your water. Drinking the required 6-8 glasses per day can help eliminate toxins and purify your system which helps with hair growth.

Supplement your diet with Biotin and Magnesium. Adding these two supplements helps to promote blood flow to the extremities and increases function of the nervous system. These two things promote growth of the hair, nails and skin. Not only will you have more hair but your skin and nails will be clearer and younger looking.

Massage your scalp everyday to increase hair growth. The best technique is to do this while in the shower.  Spread your fingers all over your scalp and use only the pads of your fingers. Now begin to move your fingers and scalp in circular movements in order to increase blood flow to these areas. Continue this for 5 minutes at a time. It is recommended to perform this message at least 3-4 days a week.
