Stop Hair Loss Now: Understanding the Causes of Hair Loss & Reversing the Process
Hair loss is a devastating condition that can affect both men and women, no matter their ages. Currently, there are an estimated 35 million American men and 21 million American Women suffering some degree of hair loss. Not only is hair loss an unsightly progression, it is also an emotionally trying affliction that can result in low self-esteem, reduced self-confidence and can even indicate an underlying health condition depending on the hair loss causes.
A trip to your local Mass Market Retailer will reveal boxes and boxes of ‘cures’ – the kind that promise hair loss reversal and regrowth, no matter the reason behind the falling follicles. Yet attempting to treat hair loss topically without discovering the root cause of the problem will produce lack luster results or no results at all. Hair loss causes can be traced back to many underlying issues, either hair loss from stress, hair loss anemia, genetics, stricture or even an undiagnosed disease.
While there is no over-night cure for Hair loss, understanding the causes behind it is the first step in Hair Loss Reversal. You CAN regrow your hair, naturally and safely, by understanding the science behind it. The Hair Loss Black Book delves deeply into hair loss causes and addresses each and every one, from the root up. Backed by Science and Fact, this book can truly result in hair loss reversal, giving you back the full head of hair you crave.
Surprisingly, almost 90% of hair loss in both men and women is DHT related. DHT, also known as Dihydrotestosterone is a type of Super Concentrated testosterone that stimulates facial hair growth, deepens the voice and increases the sex drive. Normally, DHT is found in tiny amounts in the human body, yet sometimes other hormones enter the fray and transform this innocuous DHT into a powerful hormone that attacks and suffocates the hair follicle at its very base. This process eventually leads to the hair loss you may be fighting right now.
It IS possible to fight this battle – and win. DHT does not have to ruin your hair or your appearance. Proven methods with scientific backing provided in The Hair Loss Black Book will guide you to eventual hair loss reversal, in a no hype, no bull way. Your hair loss may be traced back to DHT, or you may be suffering from hair loss from stress or hair loss anemia. This book will help you understand YOUR root cause – and help you fight it.
A thick, lustrous head of hair IS possible, naturally, safely and far more affordably than any store-bought treatment can achieve.

5 DIY Natural Shampoo Recipes for Healthier Hair
Cleansing our hair with shampoo every single day keeps it clean, but is not always beneficial. Commercial shampoos tend to strip off natural moisture from the hair and scalp, thus sometimes leaving behind dryness, itch, and dandruff.
Fortunately, conditioners and other treatment solutions are available to address such problems. But, this also means that we would need to buy and use additional hair products. What if you can use just one product on your hair and get even better results?
What's more, this product is organic and easy to make right at home. Yes, we are talking about DIY natural shampoo!
1. Recipe for Dry Hair: Coconut Milk Moisturizing Shampoo
Coconuts are packed with essential vitamins such as C, E and B complex (B1, B3, and B6), and in minerals such as iron, calcium and phosphorus. They are also rich in proteins and natural oils. Coconut milk is among the best ingredients for a great DIY natural shampoo meant for dry hair!
Ingredients
1/4 cup coconut milk (you can use store-bought or make your own)
1/3 cup organic baby shampoo
1 teaspoon olive or almond oil
10-20 drops essential oil/s
How to Make
Get a dry, clean bottle (e.g. shampoo bottle) for storing the finished product, then pour in the coconut milk and baby shampoo.
Next, add 1 teaspoon of olive or almond oil to the coconut milk-and-shampoo mixture.
Lastly, add 10 to 20 drops of your choice of essential oil before shaking the bottle to combine the ingredients. Voila! You’ve got a nice-smelling DIY natural shampoo for your dry hair.
2. Recipe for Dandruff: Rosemary Essential Oil Shampoo
Baking soda is actually the base ingredient of this natural anti-dandruff shampoo, but it's the rosemary oil that makes it even more effective against dandruff. Among the essential oils, it is rosemary that has potent anti-fungal properties that can treat dandruff while soothing an itchy scalp. Not to mention that it smells good, too!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 cup warm water
3-5 drops rosemary oil
How to Make
The ratio here is 1 tablespoon baking soda for every cup of warm water, and 3-5 drops of rosemary oil for every cup of the mixed solution. You can use an old but clean shampoo or soap bottle for storage and for mixing the solution (shake well) prior to application.
Use this daily in place of your commercial anti-dandruff shampoo and discover the power of natural DIY hair products.
3. Recipe for Damaged Hair: Invigorating Tea Tree Shampoo
Due to the daily demands of work and other stressors, our hair tends to get weary along with our body, making it more prone to damages. Likewise, various hair treatments (perming, hair coloring) can damage our mane when done regularly. The secret to nourishing damaged hair? Tea tree oil!
Tea tree oil helps cleanse the hair starting from the roots by unclogging hair follicles. It also helps nourish and soothe the scalp, giving way to a healthier hair that looks and feels fresh and energized.
Ingredients
1/8 cup coconut milk
2/3 cup baking soda
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
20 drops tea tree oil
1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil
1/4 cup warm water
How to Make
Simply combine all ingredients in a clean shampoo bottle and shake well to mix - that easy.
Also, remember to shake the mixture well before each use.
4. Recipe for Hair Fall/Loss: Aloe Vera Hair Growth Shampoo
Aloe Vera has long been known to provide countless hair benefits, making it a key ingredient in many commercial shampoos. These shampoos, however, contain additives and chemicals, too.
That said, a DIY natural shampoo using aloe vera is supposed to be more effective than its commercial counterpart especially when it comes to boosting hair growth.
Ingredients
2 cups distilled water
6 ounces liquid castile soap
2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
1/2 teaspoon jojoba oil (skip if you have oily hair)
40-50 drops essential oils (optional)
How to Make
Boil the distilled water and then let it cool for a bit before adding the castile soap. Remember to mix the solution gently as you pour in the soap.
Next, add the aloe vera gel, jojoba oil, and essential oils. Mix everything well and transfer to a bottle (or jar) that can hold up to 3 cups of homemade hair growth shampoo.
5. Recipe for Oily Hair: pH-Balanced Honey Shampoo
One of the best ingredients for DIY hair products is raw honey. Why?
Honey is slightly acidic with a pH of 4, making it a great antibacterial and antifungal solution. Thus, it's anti-dandruff, too!
Furthermore, it cleanses the scalp gently and doesn't strip off its natural protective oils, making the hair less oily and softer over time (note: dry scalp tends to produce more oil and sebum to compensate for the dryness).
Ingredients
1 tablespoon raw/unpasteurized honey
3 tablespoons filtered water
A few drops essential oils (optional)
How to Make
To prevent spoilage, making a "single serving" (to be used immediately) every time is recommended. The ratio is 1 tablespoon honey to 3 tablespoons water. Mix these well and then add a few drops of your choice of essential oils (e.g. lavender oil, carrot seed oil).

5 DIY Hair Masks with Egg for Your Crowning Glory
There is no doubting that eggs are nutritious and delicious to eat. They are enriched with this high-quality protein called albumin, also known as "egg white", and are also great sources of vitamins (D, B complex) and minerals (iron, zinc, copper).
Furthermore, eggs are inexpensive and easily available. Not to mention that they are quite versatile, too!
Among the many uses of eggs, the one that people often find to be just a little strange is for hair care. However, the use of egg masks is one of the world's oldest (surviving) hair rituals – and that’s how you know it actually works. The protein, vitamins, and minerals that eggs contain can naturally strengthen and condition our tresses.
Haven't tried a hair mask with egg, yet? Check out these 5 easy DIY recipes for various hair problems.
1. DIY Hair Mask for Dry Hair: Eggs + Coconut + Almond
If you've already spent countless dollars just for salon hair treatments (e.g. hot oil, hair mask) for your dry hair, then you should consider switching to all natural DIY hair products.
Not only can "DIY-ing" save you a lot of money, you can also be sure that there are no potentially harmful chemicals in your hair products.
If you have a very dry hair, for instance, you can substitute your good old conditioner with this high-moisture homemade egg mask. Combined with coconut oil and almond milk, it's sure to provide deep conditioning benefits.
Ingredients
3-4 tablespoons egg white
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
4-5 tablespoons almond milk
How to Make and Use
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, and then gently apply the egg mask all over your hair and scalp. Leave this on for about 30 minutes before washing with cold water and mild shampoo.
Skip the conditioner altogether and do this instead thrice a week.
2. DIY Hair Mask for Dull-Looking Hair: Eggs + Aloe Vera + Olive
Dull hair is different from dry hair in the sense that a dull-looking hair doesn't necessarily mean its dry. Instead, this type of hair is normal to touch but lacks shine and luster, thus making it look limp and lifeless.
This hair mask with egg, aloe vera, and olive oil is the solution! The power of egg combined with the strengthening and conditioning properties of both aloe vera and olive oil are the key to transforming hair from dull and weary to smooth and shiny.
Ingredients
2-3 tablespoons egg yolks
4-5 tablespoons aloe vera gel
1 tablespoon olive oil (or jojoba oil if you have oily hair)
How to Make and Use
In a bowl, combine the egg yolks and the aloe vera gel. Next, heat the oil for 10 seconds then add to the mixture.
Mix the ingredients well before applying the finished egg mask on your hair, starting from the roots. Leave it on for 30 minutes before washing.
3. DIY Hair Mask for Damaged Hair: Eggs + Banana + Honey
Sounds delicious? Wait until it’s on your hair.
This rich mask combines the nourishing and enhancing properties of several ingredients: protein-rich eggs, potassium-rich bananas, and moisturizing honey and olive oil. Then, add some milk to the mixture and you've got a power-packed breakfast - and hair mask!
Ingredients
1 egg
1 banana (mashed)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons milk
5 tablespoons olive oil
How to Make and Use
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mixing everything thoroughly before applying the mask to your hair and scalp.
Wait for at least an hour, and then rinse it gently with mild shampoo and water. You'll feel the difference in just one wash.
4. DIY Hair Mask for Oily Hair: Eggs + Yogurt + Lemon
While eggs are generally pro-moisture, they can also be used to treat oily hair and scalp, too. In fact, when combined with yoghurt and lemon, this egg mask becomes a deep-cleansing mask.
Problem with dandruff? This mask is also the solution. It can remove excess oil from the scalp without over drying it (dry scalp triggers more oil and sebum production, eventually resulting in an oily scalp and dandruff build-up).
Ingredients
1 egg
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed, if possible)
How to Make and Use
Combine the ingredients in a bowl and mix until you have a smooth paste. Note that you might need to use a hand blender to mix everything well.
Apply the mask to your scalp and hair, massaging gently through the roots. Let this sit for about 45 minutes before washing off.
For best results, do this for your oily hair at least twice a week.
5. DIY Hair Mask for Hair Fall/Hair Loss: Egg + Castor Oil
While castor oil has many wonderful skin and hair benefits, not so many people know that it can also promote hair growth.
This hair growth mask with egg and castor oil nourishes and conditions hair from the roots, promoting a healthier scalp and preventing hair loss.
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 tablespoon castor oil
How to Make and Use
Beat 2 eggs in a bowl, then add 1 tablespoon of castor oil and mix well.
Apply the mask to your hair and scalp, concentrating on the roots. Wait for about 30 minutes before washing with mild shampoo and water.

Top 5 Hair Brush Cleaners
[image error]
Once, we were told to brush our hair 100 strokes to encourage shine and create the luster we desired for our manes. Now, we know that advice is wrong. Instead, the type of brush, the material your hair tools are made from and how you clean your brush, is what makes the true difference.
You can choose a brush made from boar bristle, nylon, horse hair or even stainless steel – yet if you do not clean your hair tools, either with a solution or special Hair Cleaning Brushes, then no matter how expensive, that Hair Brush will lose its effectiveness. Build up happens not only on your scalp, but in the bristles and core of your brush, coating the bristles with oils while your shedding hair wraps around those precious spikes, reducing not only its use, but its life.
Luckily, you can increase your hair tools longevity and preserve its effectiveness simply by cleaning it frequently with solutions, sanitizers or Hair Cleaning Brushes specifically designed to improve the function of hair tools.
Top 5 Hair Cleaning Brushes
Olivia Garden Brush Cleaner

DIY Hair Oil Infusions - Your Natural Hair Care Arsenal
Today, more and more people are starting to realize the importance of Natural Hair Care. For far too long, too many of us have been sold the false narrative that laboratories and manufacturers can ‘fix’ our hair worries. Unfortunately, their offerings are often filled with chemicals that can hurt us, even as they aim to help our wilting locks.
The list of the harmful chemicals added to commercially processed hair care products is exhaustive, yet the main offenders found in many store-bought brands include: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Parabens, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and Isopropyl Alcohol. While all these ingredients are added for a specific purpose, they also have negative side effects that can damage our health AND our hair. SLS, used as an emulsifier in cleansers, can strip hair of its natural oils, leading to dry and brittle strands that break easily. Propylene Glycol is used to increase shine, yet it does this by breaking down the hair strand itself, leading to increased damage and skin irritation from exposure. Isopropyl Alcohol is used to dissolve oil, yet the oils it is dissolving in your hair are the precious, natural ones your hair needs!
Instead of drowning your hair in chemicals and hard to pronounce ingredients, you can choose natural, organic hair care products and oils that are truly beneficial to your locks – and can be made right at home! Making the switch from store bought to homemade is easier than you think. This book, You Hair Care Arsenal, offers 25 easy to follow and make DIY hair oil infusion recipes that can help you achieve the bouncy, healthy mane of hair you deserve, starting today!
