Thinning hair is a rising issue these days; thanks to our chemical laden products and stressful life. Also it is an issue that arises as you age as well. This problem should be treated correctly and well on time to avoid any serious baldness.
I started facing this issue a few years back say 2 or 3 years, the first step I took was stopped the SLS/SLES shampoos and went ahead using organic shampoos (you can choose from these brands). Yes it did make a difference to my hair; but did not really stop the thinning.
I think it is more of a combined effort that helps our mane and hair stay strong and healthy.

So along with the change in your products follow these remedies for thinning hair.
Home remedies for thinning hair:
Organic Coconut Oil:
Massaging coconut oil into your mane is as one of the simplest remedies for thinning hair. Massage the oil for 10-15 minutes and keep it for at least 2 hours. You can use a shower cap to let your scalp absorb the oil better.
Tip: Adding half a lemon will make your hair shiny!

Castor Oil
Castor oil boosts hair growth. Massage castor oil onto your hair 3 times a week to see great results for thinning hair. You can also mix it in the above mentioned coconut oil.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a wonderful hair conditioner. Use Aloe vera pulp with almond oil and massage it on your hair. Leave it on for at least 2 hours and rinse well. The leftover mixture works as a great mask for dry skin as well 🙂 Rubbing the scalp with fresh aloe vera gel and a few drops of almond oil is one of the remedies for thinning hair.
Henna and Herbs Mixture
One of the most common I know, but not to be missed remedy is to take Henna, Shikakai, Amla and hibiscus powders; make a pack and massage on your scalp. Lave for 1 hour and wash it off. You will need a deep moisturizing conditioner since these herbs can make your hair dry.
Onion Juice
Massage the juice of Onion on your scalp and leave it on for 20-30 minutes before washing it off with a nice smelling shampoo and conditioner. If you choose this remedy stay consistent and do this massage thrice a week for a month to see great results.
Fenugreek Seeds and Curry Leaves
Soak 2 tbsps of methi (Fenugreek) seeds and 10 curry leaves in water overnight. In the morning make a paste and massage it on your scalp. Leave it on for 30 minutes to see great results. This is one of those remedies for thinning hair that should be used consistently and preferably twice a week. Also great for premature hair greying.
BONUS TIP! Dietary Plan:
- Drink juice of aloe Vera and spinach everyday to ensure you have thick tresses
- Ensure you are eating foods rich in protein at least 4 times a week
- Exercise well or follow Yoga for de-stressing and staying fit
- Take Folic acid and Vitamin B12 supplements (of course consult with your doctor first)
These remedies for thinning hair combined with your diet plan and supplements will ensure you a secure hair future! 😀
