by Sandeep Godiyal

(NaturalNews) Both men and women can suffer from hair loss. Health problems and genetics can play a role in hair loss, but there are some natural things that can be done to help grow hair.

The following is a list of twelve natural things that can be done to grow hair.

Japanese researchers have linked high sebum production to hair loss. They found that animal fat can increase the amount of sebum production, so eating less meat is a good idea.
Saw Palmetto has been used to treat hair loss in both men and women. An investigation by The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine revealed that hair growth improved in men when they took Saw Palmetto Daily.
Hypothyroidism can cause thinning hair and hair loss. Problems with the thyroid gland need to be addressed with a qualified holistic practitioner, but there are some other things that can be done. One of those things is to avoid drinking from the tap because Fluoride and Chlorine are in tap water and they can inhibit iodine absorption which is a problem with low thyroid. Another good idea is to add sea vegetables like kelp because they have natural iodine and they may help to balance the condition. The bladderwrack herb is also a good daily supplement for this condition.
Essential fatty acids are good for the hair and they can be found in things like walnuts, Fish, Avocado and flaxseed.
Bioton is good for the health of the hair and the scalp. Things like brown rice, nuts, and oats contain Biotin.
Methylsulfonylmethane can help in the production of a protein found in hair called Keratin, and it can also strengthen hair follicles. In one investigation 100 percent of people that used Methylsulfonylmethane decreased hair loss and had an increase in hair growth in just six weeks time.
By just taking one supplement of a B-complex vitamin, a person can reduce the rate of hair loss and increase the amount of hair growth. By doing this a person can also rejuvenate their hair follicles and increase the circulation in the scalp.
Collagen is very important to hair because it surrounds the hair strands. The best way to boost Collagen is by taking in more vitamin C. Vitamin C rich foods include things like: Oranges, red peppers, and strawberries. The great thing about increasing Collagen is that it can also decreases wrinkles.
Vitamin E can nourish damaged hair and it can help to prevent breakage. Vitamin E helps hair to fabricate Keratin in the strands of the hair and it will also help to prevent breakage of the hair. To protect hair with vitamin E it is a good idea to take 400 IU a day.
For hair to grow naturally Iron is an essential element. Iron can be found in foods like green leafy vegetables, dried fruits, and berries. To help iron better absorb in the system it is a good idea to take it with vitamin c.
Two great minerals for hair growth are Silica and Zinc. To help stimulate the growth of hair it is a good idea to take 500 mg of Silica daily and 50 mg of Zinc two times a day.
Rosemary has been used over the years to help with scalp circulation. By just adding a few drops of rosemary to shampoo or coconut oil and rubbing it on the scalp, a person can really improve the circulation to the scalp.
