include coconut(copra) in your diet, take handful of methi seeds(yellow), put in coconut oil & heat till methi turns black & use this oil to massage in your hair daily.  alternatively use jute bags (in which you get rice), burn this juste till black & add it to coconut oil.  use this oil & massage thoroughly in your scalp & if possible sit under sun & allow sunrays to penetrate your hair for atleast half an hour then shampoo.  do these atleast twice a week for atleast 2 months & you will yourself feel the difference

You can do several things to help hair growth. The best is to take some vitamin E or increase vitamin E in your diet. Also scalp massage, getting regular trims, and some people swear by using horse shampoo and conditioner (gives you silky and shiney hair).

you can try gueye's hair vitamins, or hair energizer.  I've tried them both and they have worked.

I buzzed my hair real short because I pull it when Im stressed. If the roots are weak they're less likely to get damaged that way too. It's what chema patients too.\n\nPaw palmetto is cheap for the most common kind of hair loss, which is DHT in the scalp.\n\nRogain makes you lose hair with a chance of gaining it back and supposedly keeping it. It's only been seen to work on rare dormant follicals in the back of the head.

No, believe it or not, it is very rare for black people to get it. It has to do with the texture of our hair, lice cannot grip or hold on to it. Good question. We had this debate a couple of weeks ago. Cannot remember the site now, but it is in the med book Skin Disorders.

Rogaine makes a product for women.  Perhaps that would help?

Have you asked your doctor about Vaniqua? sp\nIt is a prescription facial cream that slows down the growth of unwanted hair, until it does not grow back.

Without chemicals, the answer is NO.  Unless, of course, you would consider a scalp transplant from a straight haired donor, preferably a cadaver.\n\nYou can blame it all on your parents since the reason you have curls is genetics.

Not a damn thing you do at home will work.\n\nThere are all sorts of claims made by people about the cause of hair loss ranging from stress to nutrition to shampoos to wearing hats.  None of them are true.  None of them.\n\nUnless you are severely malnourished, your hair loss is hereditary and unstoppable without medical intervention.\n\nSome hair follicles around the head have certain receptors for a hormone called DHT (dihydroxytestosterone).  These poor hair follicles, upon binding DHT, start to produce thinner and weaker shafts of hair until they no longer produce hair at all.  Hair follicles can vary, it seems, in their sensitivity to DHT.  Obviously, hair follicles on the sides and back of a bald man's head are not sensitive to DHT.\n\nMedications such as Minoxodil produce limited results.  Minoxodil, believe it or not, was initially used to treat hypertension (if memory serves) and is basically a vasodilator that, when applied to the scalp, increases blood flow to the hair follicles.  You must apply it daily otherwise any improvement will be reversed.\n\nPropecia (a pill), on the other hand, is a DHT antagonist, that blocks DHT from reaching the DHT-sensitive hair follicles and thus allows these follicles to grow hair.  Same situation with DHT, however.  Stop taking it and you'll lose hair again.  Moreover, it affects the hormone that makes us act like men, which is why one of the side-effects of propecia can be decreased libido.  To hell with that, I say!  (Fortunately, I'm not bald!)\n\nThe only way known to man that restores hair are hair transplants.  Non-DHT-sensitive follicles are harvested and transplanted to bald areas of the scalp, and thus continue to grow (provided the graft survives).\n\nI've heard of some ridiculous home remedies though.  My older brother's hair was thinning several years ago, and my mother suggested that he apply olive oil to his scalp!

No, but it is easy to make your own.  Just buy some vitamin e caplets and some unscented, plain lotion/cream.  Break the caplets open with a pin and mix the vitamin e oil into the cream.\n\nA health food store is always a good place to find a decent base cream -- most health food stores have a natural beauty section with shampoos, etc.  They might even have vitamin e cream there, so that you don't have to make it.

Nov. 4, 2004 -- Balding men and women take note. Hair cloning -- the next hair restoration remedy -- is on the way.\n\nOK, it's not exactly cloning, although that's what it's come to be called. Researchers working to perfect the new technique prefer the term "hair multiplication."\n\nAnd no, it's not ready for prime time. Not yet, says Ken Washenik, MD, PhD. Washenik is medical director for Bosley, the giant hair restoration company that's one of several firms racing to bring hair multiplication to market. He's also clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center.\n\n"There is no doubt it will be a tremendous breakthrough," Washenik tells WebMD. "It is the thing people have been waiting for. There have been so many remedies for hair loss that didn't pan out. This is one that really looks like it is going to happen -- and happen in the next few years."\n\nIt's not just hype, says hair researcher George Cotsarelis, professor of dermatology and director of the hair and scalp clinic, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Cotsarelis consults for Bosley, but is not involved in the company's research program.\n\n"It is hard to predict whether they will be successful, but there is good evidence that will happen," Cotsarelis tells WebMD. "It is not quackery -- they are not charlatans. It is based on real scientific knowledge. But there are a lot of hurdles still to overcome."\n\nThe promise of early research often evaporates in the harsh light of clinical testing. Yet Washenik predicts that hair multiplication will be available for hair restoration in three or four years.

Likas Papaya and Biolink works better. Use Magic Cream for dark pigmentations and scars. It really works.

Henna with egg yolk and tea water help.But that gives a brownish texture to your hair.To avoid that, use curd with egg yolk.Make sure you wash your hair with a nice smelling mild shampoo suitable for your hair type after that.\nAlso,get your hair trimmed after every 6 weeks to improve growth.\nOlive oil massage will make your hair strong.\nTry the above and get ready to handle all those compliments.Good luck!

No it is useless and may only fluff up your hair a little. The only thing that grows hair is restorative hair surgury. very expensive but it does work.
