Natural Remedies for Hair Loss


Hair loss is very common! You can never understand the grimness of this statement until and unless you yourself are the victim. Nothing can be more frightening and worrying than watching a brush full of hairs or the bathroom drain clogged with your silky tresses. Here are some not-so-common yet really effective natural solutions for hair loss.

Coconut Milk

Coconut is one of the richest sources of protein and hair-growing plant derivatives. You can easily grab a coconut oil from the nearest drug store. But they mostly contain chemicals and preservative. To prepare your own, all natural coconut milk at home, grate a fresh coconut milk. In half cup coconut flakes, add one cup water and simmer it on low flame for 5 to 7 minutes. Now strain the mixture to separate the flakes from the milk. Bring it to room temperature and then massage it into your scalp. For best results massage coconut oil on the scalp twice or thrice a week.

Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera is most commonly known for skincare, but it is also very effective home remedy for hair loss. You can apply fresh aloe gel directly to the scalp to treat itchiness, dryness and dandruff. Alkaline aloe gel also helps balance the pH level of your scalp. Massage the gel directly into the scalp and leave it on for at least a couple of hours and then rise off with lukewarm water. Repeat this twice a week for a couple of months and you will notice significant improvement in your scalp condition.
  • Aloe Vera Anti Hair Loss Shampoo: Mix fresh Aloe Vera gel with equal amounts of coconut milk and wheat germ oil in a clean bottle with a lid to secure. Shake well and use it to wash your scalp daily or every other day.

Step By Step Guide To FUT Hair Transplant



Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) is one of the oldest hair transplantation techniques ever used for surgical hair restoration. Also known as strip removal method, FUT is different from the modern FUE method graft harvesting only, while the plantation phase is the same. Unlike the latter, in which the surgeon extracts each graft individually, FUT involves cutting a linear strip of hair bearing skin from the balding resistant area of the scalp – either back or sides of the head. The strip is then carefully dissected under a stereo-microscope to obtain follicular units of desired size for implantation. You may be finding it difficult to understand these technical terms. Here is a step by step guide to FUT Hair Transplant to help you understand the procedure in a non-technical way. Continue reading to familiarize yourself with the procedure.

Surgical Hairline Restoration Techniques

 

There are two methods that are most commonly used for surgical hair restoration, namely Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). These two methods differ in the way they extract donor hair follicles from the donor area. As far as the plantation of the extracted hair into the recipient site is concerned, there is no difference. Let us briefly describe the both procedures so that you can have a better understanding of this popular surgical treatment of receding hairline.

FUT Hair Transplant or Strip method

Follicular Unit Transplant, aka Strip removal, is considered traditional hair extraction method. Its name is quite self-explanatory. To obtain hair follicles for plantation, a strip of scalp is removed from the donor site. This strip contains all the hair follicles needed for transplantation. However, this strip is not planted as a strip. Instead, individual hair follicles are separated from the harvested strip by excising it under a powerful microscope. Once hair follicles of desired size have been obtained, they are planted into the areas of hairline that have started showing signs of baldness.

FUE Hair Transplant Method

FUE uses a different method to extract donor hair. Rather than cutting a linear strip of scalp, it uses a small punching tool to extract each follicle individually, without causing much trauma to the scalp tissues. The tool surrounds the hair follicle from all sides and extracts it without damaging it. Since it does not involve strip cutting, it is less invasive than the traditional FUT hair transplant. However, since each follicle is extracted individually, it is a time consuming procedure that requires a lot of time and effort of the surgeon.

One benefit that makes FUE hair transplant a standout hair transplant method is that it has enabled the surgeons to extract hair follicles from any part of the body. Many hair transplant seekers with limited donor hair on their heads are using this method to extract hair from different body parts like chest and legs, and plant them into the head.
