Hair loss in men is often a hereditary condition that progresses over age and is sometimes difficult to treat.  Another cause of female, child, and male thinning hair is alopecia areata and it is characterized by rapid hair loss in round patches.  The cause is unknown and is often found in people with good health.  There does seem to be a genetic predisposition for this condition because it runs in families. 

Although hair usually grows back within approximately one year without treatment, many people seek a remedy for thinning hair to help improve their appearance in the interim.

One thinning hair remedy is the use of essential oils.  A combination of thyme, rosemary, cedar wood, and lavender oils which were mixed into jojoba or grape seed oil caused a marked improvement in many people with alopecia areata.  Be aware of the possibility of allergic reactions, but in general this is a very safe thinning hair remedy for most people.

Another unlikely home remedy is onion juice.  The application of onion juice as a thinning hair solution applied directly on the bald spots twice a day for a couple of months results in hair growth.  Other people simply rub cut onions on the bald patches.

Pastes can be used as a remedy for thinning hair.  Licorice paste is made by grinding pieces of licorice with milk and a small amount of saffron.  Spread the paste on bald spots before going to bed and wash it off with a gentle shampoo in the morning.

If your hair loss is due to alopecia areata, rest assured that your hair should rebound in time.  In the meantime, try to counter male thinning hair with home remedies that are inexpensive and easy to use.

Have you noticed more hair in your brush and less on your head?  You may have male thinning hair, but you do not want to expose yourself to unknown chemicals or spend a great deal of money on products for thinning hair.  Perhaps your cure for thinning hair is already in your pantry! 

Remedies for thinning hair do not have to be expensive or time consuming.  Under some circumstances, you can increase hair growth by massaging your scalp.  Take care not to damage hair, but thoroughly rub your scalp to improve circulation and activating the cells that grow hair.

Home remedies for thinning hair may be in your kitchen at this moment, and are definitely in the aisles of your grocery store.  Coconut oil can be massaged into your scalp to moisturize and promote hair growth.  It will also add luster and moisture to your hair.  People have found improvement by rubbing onion on patchy bald spots and then soothing it with honey.  You will obviously want to wash that concoction off soon!  If you are looking for something with a better smell, try a paste made with liquorice and milk.  This paste is applied to bald spots at night before bed.

Of course, no home remedy will be effective unless you maintain a well balanced diet and keep your hair and scalp clean and moisturized.  There is no substitute for eating nourishing food that will supply your body with the nutrients it needs to grow beautiful hair.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to get thicker hair.  Male thinning hair products are available in the stores, but may also be within your own home.  Why not try a home remedy before spending more money at the store?
