Hair Loss Stressing You Out? Relax, There’s an Effective Remedy from Your Own Kitchen!

Oh no, more hair loss? It’s so frustrating, isn’t it, seeing your comb full of fallen strands. You’ve tried all sorts of products, but why aren’t they working? Take a deep breath, Beauty Besties! Sometimes, the best solutions come from the most unexpected places, like our own kitchens! Believe me, there are so many kitchen ingredients with super powers to tackle hair loss.

I, Salwa, as a Beauty Editor who has navigated the beauty world extensively, know exactly how daunting it feels to see your hair thinning. But, I also really dislike fluff and complicated solutions. That’s why, this time, I’m going to reveal 5 simple and effective remedies that you can easily try at home. No need to spend a lot of money, no need for weird tools, just utilize what you already have in your kitchen. Let’s break them down one by one!

1. The Olive Oil: Your Hair’s Loyal Protector!

   Who doesn’t know olive oil? This golden liquid is a true legend in beauty care. Well, when it comes to hair loss, olive oil is a champion!

   Here’s why: Hair loss is often caused by weak hair roots or an unhealthy scalp. Olive oil is incredibly rich in vitamins E and K. Vitamin E is like an antioxidant squad that protects hair cells from damage. It creates a shield so your hair isn’t easily attacked by free radicals or harmful external factors, like pollution or intense sunlight. Vitamin K also helps repair and strengthen hair strands from within.

   Not only that, olive oil is also very effective at moisturizing dry hair. Moisturized hair is stronger and less prone to breakage! Plus, it also nourishes the scalp. A healthy scalp is the key to strong, non-brittle hair growth. Think of it like this: if the soil is fertile, the plants will surely grow lush, right?

   How to Use It Is Super Easy!

   No special prescription needed! Just take a few drops of olive oil (not too much, or your hair will look greasy!), then apply it to your hair, especially from the roots to the tips. After that, gently massage your scalp for 15 minutes. Let it absorb for about 30 minutes to an hour, then shampoo as usual. Do this once a week, and you’ll see the difference!

   SalwaSalon Tip: Make sure you use extra virgin olive oil, Beauty Besties. Its quality is better and its benefits are richer!

2. Red Onion: The Pungent Scent That Makes Hair Strong!

   Okay, okay, I know. Hearing the word “red onion” probably brings to mind its rather pungent smell. But, don’t be fooled! Behind its ‘challenging’ aroma, red onion has super powers to fight hair loss.

   Red onions are very rich in what’s called sulfur. Sulfur is crucial for collagen production. Collagen is a type of protein that is the main building block for body tissues, including hair. With enough sulfur, collagen production runs smoothly, which means your hair roots will be stronger, and new hair that grows will be healthier. Furthermore, sulfur also helps improve blood circulation in the scalp. If blood circulation is smooth, nutrients and oxygen can reach the hair roots more easily. It’s like giving enough fertilizer and water to plants so they grow well.

   Besides that, red onions also have antibacterial and antifungal properties. So, if there are scalp problems causing hair loss, like dandruff or mild infections, red onions can help address them too.

   How to Tame the Onion Smell?

   Don’t worry, there’s a trick! Take one or two cloves of red onion, then mash or blend them into juice. Strain the liquid, then apply it to your scalp. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes (if you can stand it!), then shampoo with your favorite scented shampoo to mask the smell. Do this once a week!

   Myth vs. Fact: “The smell of red onion makes hair smell permanently.” Fact: If you shampoo properly afterward, the smell will disappear! The key is cleanliness after treatment.

3. Egg: Protein Booster for Your Hair!

   Who doesn’t love eggs? Besides being delicious to eat, eggs also have a myriad of benefits for hair, you know! Especially for those struggling with hair loss.

   Eggs are an excellent source of protein. Protein is like the bricks for building hair. Our hair is largely made of keratin protein. If protein intake is insufficient, hair becomes weak, brittle, and prone to falling out. By using an egg mask, you’re giving direct, nutritious “food” to your hair.

   Besides protein, eggs also contain many important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, D, E, and iron. Vitamins A, D, and E are good for scalp and hair health. Iron is also important for preventing hair loss caused by iron deficiency (anemia).

   Let’s Make Your Own Egg Mask!

   You can use just the egg yolk, just the egg white, or both. If your hair is dry, the egg yolk is better because it’s richer in fats. If your hair tends to be oily, just use the egg white because it can help reduce excess oil. Crack one or two eggs (depending on your hair’s needs), whisk lightly, then apply to dry or slightly damp hair. Leave it on for about 20-30 minutes, then rinse with cold water (it’s very important to use cold water to avoid a fishy smell!), then shampoo.

4. Yogurt: Savior for Itchy and Dry Scalp

   An itchy, dry, or even dandruff-prone scalp can be a cause of hair loss, you know! Well, to overcome this, yogurt can be your savior.

   Yogurt contains lactic acid, which is excellent for exfoliating the scalp. Exfoliation is like removing dead skin cells that build up on the scalp. If dead skin cells accumulate, pores can get clogged, air circulation can be disrupted, and ultimately, the scalp becomes unhealthy, leading to hair loss. The lactic acid in yogurt helps gently slough off dead skin cells, leaving the scalp cleaner and healthier.

   Besides that, yogurt also contains probiotics that can help balance the microflora on the scalp. It’s like providing “guards” so the scalp isn’t easily attacked by bad bacteria or fungi that can cause problems. If the scalp is healthy, the hair roots will also become stronger.

   How to Use Yogurt for Refreshed Hair!

   Use plain yogurt (without flavor and sugar, Beauty Besties!). Apply the yogurt to your scalp and hair. Leave it on for about 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and shampoo as usual. You’ll feel your scalp become cooler and fresher!

5. Avocado: The Softness That Strengthens Hair

   Who doesn’t love avocado? This fruit is a true champion for health, whether consumed or applied externally.

   Avocado is rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Its healthy fats are great for moisturizing dry and frizzy hair. Moisturized hair is more pliable and less prone to breakage. We’ve discussed vitamin E before; it’s a powerful antioxidant that protects hair. Vitamin C is also important for collagen production, further strengthening your hair.

   If your hair is often styled with heat tools, exposed to chemicals, or already damaged due to lack of care, avocado can be a lifesaver. It helps repair damaged hair structure and makes hair smoother, softer, and shinier.

   Make a Super Easy Avocado Hair Mask!

   Take half a ripe avocado, mash it until very smooth. For extra nourishment, you can add a tablespoon of honey or olive oil. Apply to your entire hair, from root to tip. Leave it on for about 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and shampoo. Your hair will feel much softer and healthier!
