13 Hair Boosting Remedies
Found In Your Kitchen Cabinet

Introduction
A happy healthy head of hair throughout the lifespan would be a
welcome boon to most men and woman, however epidemiology
statistics unfortunately paint a rather grim picture with up to half of
men experiencing male pattern baldness (MPB) by the age of 50 1
and a full third of women aged 70 or more suffering from female
pattern hair loss (FPHL)2.

A large body of research has built up around the phenomenon of


hair loss which, if carefully scrutinised, can yield simple, effective,
easily available home based natural strategies to prevent and in
some cases even regrow our hair.

What follows are thirteen different kitchen cupboard therapies that
have been rigorously shown to have a positive impact on hair loss,
particularly in men. Each therapy has been chosen specifically
because the materials are easily available to the common household
and proven to be extremely effective at either the prevention of hair
loss or the re-genesis of hair that has already been lost.

Although we have presented thirteen different therapies to boost


your hair, it may ultimately be best to view each therapy as forming
a part of a single coherent overall strategy.

Each therapy can be done concurrently as part of a total lifestyle


shift doing so would certainly increase the effectiveness of your
expected results. The synergy of the underlying treatment
mechanisms ensures that such a holistic approach would achieve
results far greater than the sum of its parts.

Of course you dont need to view these treatments holistically to see


results, each has its own scientific rationale and proven results
abound in the literature - so pick and choose the methods that
appeal most to you and boost your hair to new heights!

The hair structure & growth cycle3


To really get to grips with the rationale behind each strategy we
need to understand a little about hair, the way it grows and why we
lose it.

Individual hair follicles traverse three phases in their lifespan. At


first, hairs that are actively growing are in what is called the anagen
phase which typically lasts from between two and six years.

During anagen, a bulb of rapidly dividing cells at the base of a hair


shaft is firmly attached to a papilla which supplies the bulb and
shaft with an abundant nutrient-rich blood supply.

Following anagen, hairs will enter a brief transition phase (catagen)


in which growth stops and the hair follicle gradually disengages from
the papilla at the base of the hair shaft cutting off from its own blood
supply. Once the papilla is finally disengaged from the hair shaft it
shrinks and goes into a resting phase.
3 Chase, Herman B. "Growth of the hair." Physiological Reviews 34.1 (1 954): 1 13-126.

The third and final phase is called telogen. Telogen can last
between one and four months and during this period both the papilla
and the hair follicle are completely dormant. Skin cells in the hair
pore continue to grow and deposit around the hair shaft, gripping it
into place.

The end of telogen occurs when the papilla at the shafts base
comes out of dormancy and begins once again to grow a brand new
shaft which enables the old hair to be shed.

At any one time, roughly 85% of all hair on your body is in anagen
phase whilst at the same time only 15% of all hair is in the catagen
and telogen phase. As long as telogen and anagen remain in
relative balance hair loss will not occur.

Hair Loss And Its Causes
Hair loss (alopecia) can arise from many different factors such as
hormonal imbalance, genetic factors, parasitic infection, ageing,
nutritional deficiency, oxidative damage, acute and sudden
stress/shock, pregnancy, illness, mechanical damage to the skin
and behavioural habits.

The most common type of hair loss is called Androgenic Alopecia


(AGA) which presents as Male Pattern Balding (MPB) and is
purportedly responsible for up to 95% of all hair loss reported in
men. AGA involves the gradual shrinking of hair follicles - this ends
up shortening the life cycle of hair follicles; progressively thinning out
the hair until no new hair shafts are produced.

MPB thinning in men initially forms an M shape to the hairline due


to thinning at the temples; further thinning can also occur at the
crown. Eventually, thinning areas at the crown and temple merge
forming a U shaped area which eventually can become totally
bald.4

4 Price V H. Androgenetic alopecia in adolescents. Cutis. 2003 Feb;7 1(2):115 -21.

Page 5
Androgenic Alopecia is alopecia that results from androgen
imbalance, in particular an excess amount of dihydrotestosterone.
Testosterone is metabolised by an enzyme in the body called 5 -
alpha-reductase. The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase is produced in the
prostate, kidneys and the scalp and acts on regular Testosterone to
form dihydrotestosterone which causes hair follicles to shrink and
enter the catagen/telogen phase.

The reason DHT causes shrinkage of hair follicles is because it


triggers the synthesis of transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-
beta2) which impairs skin-cell functioning and eventually leads to the
death of epithelial (skin) cells.5

So we can see that anything that causes excessive production of


DHT from testosterone will be a risk factor for AGA. Currently, risk
factors for AGA include:

1. Ageing
2. Heredity
3. Any process that leads to a relevant androgen imbalance.

The second most common cause of hair loss is Alopecia Areata


(AA). AA is caused by the bodys own immune system erroneously
attacking hair follicles, causing inflammation and hair loss.
Essentially AA can be classed as an autoimmune disorder. While
AA is less common than AGA it still affects roughly 2% of people
which is a significant number by any measure. AA presents as one
or more small circular bald patches which can occur anywhere on
the body. If AA is extremely severe, the entire body can be rendered
hairless by the immune system.6

AA and AGA if not prevented or reversed can lead to seemingly


permanent hair loss. There are other kinds of temporary hair loss
that may occur such as Telogen Effluvium in which an abnormal
number of hair follicles enter telogen phase causing a sudden and
massive amount of hair loss.

Telogen Effluvium is hair loss which happens when a large number
of hair follicles enter the telogen phase due to extreme stress/shock 7
or through some other external factor such as switching birth control
pills; pregnancy8; having major surgery or chemotherapy/radiation
therapy.9

There are numerous other causes of temporary hair loss such as


damage from physically pulling the hair; hair styling processes that
damage hair structures and some skin conditions.

Is THIS Bathroom Habit Really the Cause


of Your Hearing Loss?

You wake up in the morning.

Brush your teeth.

And then you do THIS.

Could this everyday bathroom habit be KILLING your hearing?

That's exactly what Harvard Medical School has concluded in a


recent study.

In fact, doing this just twice a week was shown to increase


hearing loss by up to 24%.

For our purposes, all we need to remember is that hair loss is


commonly caused by things that can upset the bodys natural
androgen levels; or things that create inflammation that leads to the
destruction of hair follicles; or mechanical damage to hair shafts and
skin; or a poor environment for hair follicle growth such as impaired
blood supply or infection. Therefore, each one of our 13 hair loss
therapies will address one or more of these factors and thus prevent

hair loss or lead to a boost in hair growth. In general we can say that
each hair loss therapy will have one of the following characteristics:

1. Protects against or removes the causes of hormonal


(androgen) imbalance by:
a. Affecting TGF-beta2
b. Minimising DHT formation
c. (by acting on the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme)
d. Use of antioxidants to prevent oxidative damage to key
androgen-linked mechanisms.
2. Reduce inflammation
3. Help blood supply to hair follicles
4. Support the needs of hair follicles in the growth (anagen)
phase.
a. Supportive of the environment in which hair shafts grow.
5. Protect against ageing and other systemic damage relevant to
hair growth with antioxidant mechanisms

It really is as simple as that. In the sections to follow we present 13


simple home based therapies that have been scientifically shown to
do at least one or more of the things above to boost your hair.

1: Zinc Magical Super Nutrient.


Zinc is a fantastic micronutrient and has many health benefits with
important roles to play in the immune and digestive systems; control
of diabetes; reduction of stress; improved energy levels; and the
healing of acne and injuries.

Zinc also has many benefits for our hair with it playing an important
role in treating conditions such as telogen effluvium and alopecia
areata.10 Zinc inhibits hair follicle regression (catagen), and it
accelerates the time it takes for hair to enter the growth phase
(anagen). Oral sulphate therapy has been used to treat alopecia
areata because it was noted that they often have zinc deficiency.11

growth in v iv opreliminary observations." Experimental dermatology 1 4.11 (2005): 844-853.

Page 8
A 2009 study12 assessed the effects of oral zinc supplementation
over a twelve week period with alopecia areata patients who had low
zinc levels. Oral zinc was given to these patients without any other
treatment. At the end of the study, 9 out of 15 (67%) patients
reported significant hair growth13

A 2013 study14 showed that the participants that had some type hair
loss condition also had significantly lower zinc levels in the blood.
This study is now the main supporter of the idea that zinc
metabolism plays a key role in hair loss.

The science couldnt really be any clearer, zinc is important for hair
growth as well as a huge number of very important biological
systems you should definitely be taking it. Our first hair boosting
kitchen cupboard therapy is to increase your daily consumption of
foods that are high in zinc.

The best food source of zinc is considered to be oysters (what a
pleasure) luckily for us, oysters contain as much as 74mg of zinc
per serving.

Generally zinc can be obtained by eating red meat (sparingly) and


poultry. Other great food sources would include beans, nuts
(especially cashews), chickpeas, crab and lobster(!), and whole-
grains 15.

It is usually best to take zinc through our daily diet than it is to take
supplements since zinc can be toxic when taken in very high doses.
If you have a zinc deficiency then a short course of supplemental
zinc may be necessary.

Its important to be aware that some foods contain phytates


chemicals that bind to zinc and prevent it from being absorbed by
our body16. So we need to increase our intake of zinc foods to make
sure that we are not short of this potent mineral 17.

The above foods are high in zinc, start eating them regularly to
boost your hair!

2: IRON Potent Energizer
Many studies have examined the relationship and role that iron
deficiency plays in hair loss. Findings suggest that iron deficiency is
linked to alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia and telogen
effluvium.18

One of the strongest studies done on iron deficiency and hair loss in
2009 showed that out of the nine participants with iron deficiency
based anaemia, eight (!) of them had diffuse telogen hair loss. The
study concluded that people with iron deficiency were at risk of hair
loss and that blood levels of ferritin (a protein in blood that binds to
iron) less than 30mg/mm are very strongly linked to telogen phase
hair loss.19

The link is clear, iron is important for hair growth and if you want to
prevent hair loss and keep your fine upstanding crop then you
should be eating foods that are plentiful in iron. Fortunately such
foods are easy to find and delicious to boot! Here is a short but
potent list of the best iron rich foods:20

Spinach; Swiss chard; Egg yolks; Beef steak; Black beans and
Collard greens.

3: BLACK TEA Flavonoids With Style

Theaflavins are a unique class of polyphenols that are able to exert


powerful antioxidant effects with proven benefits in both
cardiovascular disease and androgenetic alopecia. They have been
shown to decrease inflammatory cytokines that are linked to hair
loss. Drinking Black tea on a regular basis reportedly reduced DHT
levels by a massive 72% in addition to increasing testosterone
production by 34% according to one Harvard University study21.

Antioxidant properties of black tea that have been reported include:

Blocks free radical generation


Mops up free radicals
Metal chelation transition metal ions
Influence activation of transcription factors - NFkappaB , AP-1
Inhibition of pro-oxidative enzymes - xanthine oxidase, nitric
oxide synthase

Page 12
Anti-carcinogenic hormonal cancers

Other studies on Theaflavins have demonstrated evidence of


hormone regulatory effects linked to estrogenic based breast
carcinomas.22 This ability to regulate hormones lends further support
for the role black teas can play in hair loss associated with hormonal
causes.

Further studies have demonstrated black teas ability to reduce


damage caused by lipid oxidation and free radicals whilst improving
circulation. One of the potent healing benefits of Black tea flavonoids
is their ability to decrease inflammation and support cellular integrity.
In terms of hormonal factors relating to hair loss black tea is
known to reduce serum DHT.

The combination of Theaflavins unique properties marks Black tea


as an excellent therapeutic to address alopecia hair loss. It is
currently thought that combining these properties with other
phytochemicals will produce even greater synergistic healing results.

4: Green Tea - Polyphenols are Potent


Green tea extracts have demonstrated powerful effects that support
hair re-growth in Androgenetic Alopecia. It is remarkable for its
ability to block the conversion of testosterone into DHT in skin.
According to several studies, this impressive action is achieved by
inhibition of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme responsible for this
conversion. Another notable property of green tea polyphenols is
that they neutralise inflammatory cytokines associated with balding.

The active constituent of Green Tea that has been most researched
and appears most beneficial is Epigallocatechin gallate, (EGCG). It
has a proven track record of being able to regulate blood sugar
levels and improves insulin sensitivity making it a beneficial
therapeutic aid for diabetic patients.

There are clear links detailing the association of metabolic syndrome


and insulin resistance with androgenetic hair thinning and hair loss

22Zhou, JinRong, et al. "Combinedinhibition of estrogendependent human breast carcinoma


by soy and tea bioactive components in mice." International journal of cancer 1 08.1 (2004): 8-
1 4.

patterns 23. This makes sense considering that diabetes is
characterised by increased production of pro-inflammatory
prostaglandin that contributes to decreased microcirculatory function
and collagen fibrosis (rigidity) surrounding the hair follicle.

Substantial evidence exists to show that Green tea equals well


prescribed pharmaceutical anti-diabetic Avandia, being as effective
without any harmful side effects. This is important when one
considers that Avandia increases the risk for cardiovascular disease
by 43% according to one study24.

Green tea is known to elevate SHBG levels without the harmful side
effects reported with oral anti-androgen pharmaceutical
preparations. Alopecia sufferers have low levels of circulating
SHBG. Green tea has the added benefit of reducing estrogenic
levels that indirectly increase androgen activity. This action is also
present in Soy isoflavone polyphenols that also increase SHBG with
some anti-estrogenic effects 25.

Green teas have an impressive track record of reducing risk for


many types of cancers including prostatic and breast cancer that are

both characterised by hormonal dysfunction. Talking about hormone
imbalances, it is worth noting that Oriental populations have low
levels of androgen-mediated disorders compared to US statistics.
Interestingly Oriental people living in the US share the same
statistics as all US citizens leading researchers to propose that the
oriental diet rich in green tea catechins and soy isoflavones may be
the reason for the low number of oriental alopecia incidence 26.

In studies most results can be achieved by taking a minimum of 6


cups of green tea daily. The ability of the body to readily absorb
nutrients is called bioavailability and is determined by a number of
different factors. Some studies have shown that that taking
bioflavonoids significantly increase the bioavailability of green tea
polyphenols when taken in combination. Given this information it
makes sense to add a slice of lemon to your tea or take some form
of vitamin C daily to enhance the absorption of EGCG and reap
increased hair-raising benefits!

Taurine was recently shown to exert profound antioxidant effects by
protecting against harmful oxidative damage during episodes of
epilepsy27. With these powerful antioxidant effects and its ability to
prevent and treat hair loss 28 by regulating SHBG and aromatase,
blocking TGF-b and decreasing DHT, green tea appears to be a
must-have superstar worthy of pantry space.

5: TAURINE A Unique Amino Acid


L-taurine is an exciting amino acid when it comes to hair growth.
Sometimes when we focus on treatment for hair loss we forget that
the immediate eco-environment of hair follicles is as important as
the hair follicle itself. By analogy we can think of the skull as the soil
in which hair can grow. If soil is nutritionally depleted then crops are
generally less productive and prone to disease. The skull is just the
same it needs to be in good condition to nourish hair growth. Part
of this is a healthy microcirculation to supply nutriment and
hydration.

In looking at hair growth, part of the terrain that needs to be in


balance for hair to resume growth is the area immediately
surrounding the hair follicles. Often fibrotic hardening caused by
inflammatory mediators, completely surrounds hair follicles directly
preventing hair growth. L-taurine is unique in its anti-fibrotic ability.
L-taurine is therefore viewed as being a perfect therapeutic to
prevent gradual follicle miniaturisation that is a hallmark of MPB.29
Even the well-known hair product business LOreal have invested in
a patent to promote hair re-growth that contains L-taurine as part of
their formula.

This amino acid can protect against scarring and collagen


accumulation in alopecia by protecting from fibrosis 30.

L-Taurine hair promoting properties 31 include:

Systemic anti-fibrotic agent


Inhibits cross-linking of collagen
Impacts hair growth - in combo with Resveratrol

Increases hair survival
Protects against oxidative stress 32
Prevents TGF-beta1 damage 33

This is not all that Taurine can do as it is a vital amino acid and
involved in many biochemical processes we have merely looked at
the functions pertinent to promoting hair growth.

Incorporating this special amino acid into our diet can only improve
the results of our hair renaissance if we are also taking other known
hair boosters in combination. Its not difficult because taurine can be
found in abundance in many of the foods that we already stock in
our kitchens.

Oatmeal flakes; Dark chocolate; Wheat germ toasted; Egg; Turkey;
Duck; Chicken; Avocado

6: POLYPHENOLS Super Nutrients for
Hair
Resveratrol; Grape Seed Extract; Curcumin

Resveratrol is a natural plant antibiotic (a phytoalexin) produced by


the common grape vine (Vitis vinifera) in response to infection by
moulds. Resveratrol is found in large concentrations within the skins
of red grapes (the usual site of mould invasion) however, significant
quantities of resveratrol can also be found in many common
household items like blueberries, dark dark chocolate and peanut
butter.34 Varying amounts of resveratrol can be found in wines (red
wines) with quantities varying depending on grape cultivar, place of
growth and methods of production and pesticide use.

Grape seed extract and resveratrol contain or belong to a broad


category of different molecules called polyphenols. Some notable
examples of health active polyphenols are proanthocyanidins,
flavonoids and anthocyanins.

Curcumin is a curcuminoid class molecule derived from the roots of


the Curcuma longa (Turmeric) plant and has shown excellent
bioactive effects for hair loss prevention and regenesis. There have
been many documented effects of resveratrol, curcumin and grape
seed extract supplementation in the scientific literature - some of
those relevant to hair loss include:

Resveratrol and grape seed extract in smaller clinical


supplemental dosages induces effects that mimic responses
usually seen in animals undergoing caloric restriction. The
benefits of caloric restriction are also well documented and
include increased longevity and decreased inflammatory
responses to name just two.35
Various patented combinations of resveratrol and other
healthy natural products (e.g. curcumin from Turmeric and the
capsaicinoid family compounds) were filed successfully af ter
initial success in studies. Relevant effects on preventing and
treating hair loss were reported.

o Studies showed improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced
mitochondrial function, reduced expression of
inflammatory factors, and protection against the
deleterious effects of a diet high in fats.
Resveratrol is a known activator of the SIRT1 stem cell gene
and is thus heavily implicated in androgen receptor function
this lends weight to a possible mechanism for control of hair
loss.36
Resveratrol is a SIRT 1 activator that produces the same
health benefits as Caloric restriction it prevents and corrects
age-related hair loss.37
Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties with tremendous
potential for application to ameliorate hair loss and facilitate
hair growth and colouring amongst other effects.38
Studies have tied inflammation underlying hair loss to
overexpression of nuclear factor-kappa beta (NFkB) and TGF-
beta. NFkB turns on genes that produce the body's
inflammatory responses.39 40 41
o Curcumin has been shown to inhibit TGF-B, a known
cytokine implicated in MPB.42 43
o Curcumin protects against oestrogen mimicking
compounds and damaging free radicals which in turn
promotes normal cell cycle growth and resists ageing
biomarkers.44 45

The polyphenols are some of the most powerful health and hair
affecting molecules on the planet. Amazingly you can find the potent
polyphenol resveratrol in peanut butter, dark chocolate and
blueberries of course find the healthiest version of each that you
can, but yes, do please enjoy them fullyin moderation.

Grape seed extract is best used as a supplement, but if you prefer


not supplementing then eating seeded grapes is a good way to go.

Curcumin is a staggeringly potent and beneficial compound - to


boost your hair and improve your health overall simply increase the
amount of turmeric you eat daily.

These three therapies are some of the most health-boosting and


hair-boosting options you could possibly try, and all of them are
available in your kitchen cupboard who knew?

7: Emu Oil An Unexpected Miracle


Emu oil is an oil prepared by extraction and processing from the
Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), a native Australian animal not
unlike an ostrich. The oil is odourless and off-white in colour and is

Page 20
most often used topically for hair and skin but can also be safely
ingested. Emu Oil naturally contains phyto-lignans and
anthocyanidins which are powerful moderators of androgenic
pathways in the body.46

Emu oil penetrates the stratum corneum (outermost layer of the


skin) to the deeper layers where hair follicles and blood vessels
reside which makes it potentially a perfect topical or cosmetic base
to mix other hair active substances with as this would facilitate
getting your therapies directly to the hair generating sites of the skin.
Emu oil is anti-inflammatory which strongly indicates that it can be
extremely effective at preventing hair loss and improving regrowth.
There is a large and still growing body of anecdotal evidence
showing the anti-inflammatory properties associated with emu oil
however, aside from anecdotal evidence there have been a few
seminal studies investigating the properties of this remarkable oil
and its applications to various hair and skin ailments. Some of the
properties of Emu oil are listed below:47 48 49 50 51

Reduces pain, especially due to joint swelling and stiffness.
Aids in the reduction of bruising and associated muscular pain.
Shown to inhibit tumour necrosis factor alpha (tnf-a) which is
an inflammatory cytokine linked to male pattern balding. 52 53
Strong 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor in tissues when topically
applied linking it to mechanisms that promote hair growth and
preventing hair loss.54
Emu oil is bacteriostatic (does not allow bacterial growth)
which is useful for prevention of bacterial infestation of
affected hair sites as well as keeping any topical mixtures or
creams sterile for long term storage.55
Non-comedogenic (does not clog up pores) and will not cause
pimples if used on the skin topically.56
Stimulates melanogenesis (Pigment formation) which can help
with greying hair as well as hair loss.57
The most promising study58 on Emu oil and hair growth
showed anti-ageing effects associated with topical application
over a two-week period to depilated mice. A 20% increase in
DNA synthesis; increased hair follicle robustness and
increased skin thickness were all reported. Furthermore a
study showed that a significant number of individuals

catagen and telogen phases becoming more numerous as well
as thicker and more robust hair started to grow back, thicker
and sturdier!

8: Coconut Oil Healthy Fats


Virgin Coconut Oil has also been shown to have properties
beneficial to hair growth because of its relatively high Lauric acid
content.59 50% of coconut oil is comprised of lauric acid which is a
medium chain fatty acid with strong antibacterial activity against
propionibacterium (PN)60. This bacterium plays a primary role in the
pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia and in these cases is of ten
found in the sebaceous glands of the face and scalp. PN initiates an
inflammatory response, resulting in the production of many
inflammatory cytokines which ultimately lead to a gradual
breakdown of structure in the affected hair follicles. 61

Virgin Coconut oil has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-
androgenic effects that directly address mechanisms associated
with MPB.62 One major way that Virgin Coconut Oil mitigates the
effects of AA is that it also downregulates the production of DHT,
which is a major player in MPB and acne. The enzyme 5-alpha
reductase converts Testosterone into DHT which increases sebum
emission in the pores creating a perfect environment for
propionibacterium invasion - such an invasion inevitably leads to
inflammation.

Several studies have conclusively shown that lauric acid reduces 5-


alpha reductase activity, and inhibits the conversion of testosterone
into DHT63. A further study found that consumption of Coconut Oil in
rats caused shrinking of enlarged prostate glands that were
experimentally induced via androgen administration. 64

The cosmetic and pharmaceutical properties of Emu Oil, Coconut


Oil and other lipids are often synergistically enhanced when used in
combination with each other.65 Emu Oil is a naturally transdermal
penetrating substance that offers an effective alternative to
lysosomal transdermal carriers because of its ability to deliver itself
and other therapeutic compounds into the deepest layers of the skin.
66

The research at present seems extremely promising although work


is yet to be done in order to grow the current body of research into a
larger more weighty set of data. The anecdotal evidence is widely
reported and almost all initial hard science studies have shown
results in line with expected anecdotal trends. Emu oil and coconut
oil are fantastic candidates for hair prevention and regrowth
strategies given the scientific data showing their positive effects on
core processes at the heart of MPB and a host of other excellent
health benefits.

Coconut oil is readily available at any local health food store
however it must be admitted that Emu oil may be much harder to
find. Certainly, the author would be surprised to find Emu oil in the
average kitchen cupboard. However, if preventing and treating hair
loss is to be a serious consideration for you then there are very few
options as versatile, useful and effective. Emu oil improves the
effectiveness of all other topically applied treatments due to it being
able to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. Furthermore, if you
are going to make your own oils, creams or topical applications, then
Emu oil is the perfect sterile medium to mix with your tincture as a
base. If this isnt in your cupboard then it is highly recommended
that you go out and get some.

9: ARGAN OIL Golden Elixir for Hair


Regenesis
When we notice that our hair is thinning it is a definite sign that
something is changing and it doesnt feel positive in most cases. If
we look at commercial products that address this problem we can
see a lot of market-related information that is designed to address
symptoms but rarely targets causes of hair thinning and associated
hair loss.

If we dont address the underlying issues then we have to accept


that losing hair is inevitable as part of the decline that is generally
promoted as a normal factor of ageing. Is hair loss really inevitable
as part of the ageing process? Newly emergent science suggests
that we can protect against hair loss and even regenerate hair
growth by addressing causes. Recent science has revealed a set of
natural products that have demonstrated success especially when
used as combination therapy to address the balding phenomenon.
One of these exciting factors that have been discovered is a very
unique product showing impressive results ... Argan oil.

This anti-ageing oil is extracted from the Argan tree (Argania


spinosa) that is indigenous to Morocco. The oil extract has the
ability to stimulate skin (dermal) stem cells that address areas such
as dry scalp but most importantly is able to induce new hair growth.
The research conducted in 2009 led to the discovery of the role
played by dermal stem cells in hair growth. The University of
Toronto study also highlighted the terrain of the damaged scalp as

Copyright 2017 13 Hair Boosting Remedies Found In Your Kitchen Cabinet


Page 25
being an important factor in restoring hair growth. The focus of their
research was centred on adult stem cells.

This landmark study discovered a therapeutic approach to restore


hair loss (alopecia) and provide a way to restore hair growth in
millions of people who suffer from this condition. Lets take a deeper
look so that we can understand how Argan oil can change our scalp
ecology and promote hair growth.

The fun drink that makes you skinny? (try it tonight!)

Imagine if you could go out every weekend, have fun, drink


alcohol, do ZERO exercise all week, and still burn belly fat.

Scientists at Washington State University have found that a


little known ingredient found in a very specific alcoholic drink
can increase your bodys fat-burning powers by up to 370% -
allowing you to burn 1-2 pounds of belly fat overnight, and
achieve life-changing weight loss in less than 30 days.

>> Click here to reveal the alcoholic drink that makes you
skinny.

The researchers knew that adult stem cells are able to shapeshift
into different types of cells, to perform different functions. In the skin
these active stem cells are housed in little reservoirs in both the
dermis (middle layer) and epidermis (upper layer). From these areas
stem cells are available as required by our skin to repair and renew
itself. This is the same principle that is applied when our bodies heal
a wound.

Copyright 2017 13 Hair Boosting Remedies Found In Your Kitchen Cabinet


Page 26
After a few exploratory studies they realised that at the base of the
hair follicle, cells released a stem cell marker (Sox2) that responded
in a similar manner to the way that dermal stem cells behave. When
they noticed that these cells could morph into different cell types that
stimulated hair growth they realised that these cells were in fact
dermal stem cells and designed to regenerate hair growth and
maintain the scalp in optimal balance 67.

The next step for the researchers was to find a therapeutic match
that would trigger or stimulate these stem cells to grow hair. They
soon found their match in the relatively unknown Argan tree. It is an
ancient tree, being one of the oldest species living on our planet. It
grows in dry, harsh sun radiated environments 68. The hair secret lies
in this plants unique stem cells that are super resilient to the harsh
conditions that these trees have survived in, over a long period of
time. Multiple studies 69 have shown that these plant stem cells
stimulate our dermal skin cells to grow hair follicles!

The story didnt end at this point because the research team felt
inspired to develop a topical application that regenerates hair growth

for alopecia sufferers. They discovered that adopting a combination
therapy of different compounds gave a realistic and tangible result.
The other ingredients found to be useful in a multi-factorial approach
to combat hair loss include:

Procyanidin B-2 - stimulates hair growth


These are flavonoid polyphenols found to have
cardioprotective abilities but new research shows that it can
promote hair growth
Biotin - combats thinning hair
Biotin deficiency causes hair loss
Copper - supports hair follicles
Researchers observed how a copper growth factor in the lab
caused hair follicles to grow
Antioxidant tea extracts counteract free radical skin damage
Since 2009, Argan oil has become famous and is added to
approximately 30% of commercial hair products to strengthen
the scalp and nourish the hair system. If this oil isnt in your
shampoo consider buying the oil and add some to your
shampoo. Use some to rub into your scalp to nourish and
condition the scalp so that hair can thrive.

10: VITAMIN D The Sunshine Vitamin


Studies have long documented the fact that people who suffer from
vitamin D deficiency, rickets and vitamin D receptor mutations
commonly present with alopecia areata. This shouldnt be too
surprising given that vitamin D is in fact a key hormone essential to
many processes in the body - Hair follicles are particularly sensitive
to hormonal actions in the body.70

70 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3412244/

Copyright 2017 13 Hair Boosting Remedies Found In Your Kitchen Cabinet


Page 28
Vitamin D seems to be implicated in many different autoimmune
disorders alopecia areata being one of them. A recent study done
in 2014 assessed the vitamin D levels in the blood of people who

suffered from alopecia areata and people with vitiligo. It found that
alopecia areata sufferers had significantly lower levels of Vitamin D
in the blood than both vitiligo sufferers and controls. The study also
showed that the more severe the alopecia, the less vitamin D was in
the bloodstream.71

Aside from the benefits of vitamin D in hair loss it is also important


for a number of other reasons such as the regulation of calcium and
the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth; and may have strong
protective functions against certain cancers, multiple sclerosis and
type-1 diabetes.72

What a powerhouse of a vitamin, so we highly recommend that you


increase intake of vitamin D rich foods in the diet to boost your
health and hair. The foods with the highest amounts of vitamin D
are:

Cod-Liver oil; Swordfish; Salmon; Tuna; Sardines; Beef Liver; Swiss
Cheese (!).73

The best way to get your daily vitamin D is to spend a small amount
of time in the sun since vitamin D is manufactured in your body via
ultraviolet interaction with melanin. 74

11: VITAMINS B & C Natures Powerful


Protectors
Vitamin C An Antioxidant powerhouse

Vitamin C is a fantastic antioxidant that helps combat the damaging


effects of free radicals that build up in the body as it ages. Free
radicals (Reactive oxygen species, ROH) are highly volatile
molecules that can seriously damage cell membranes, important
proteins and DNA. As the body ages and free radicals accumulate
associated ageing of the hair results vitamin Cs antioxidant
properties can help prevent the greying of hair and hair loss. 75

The foods with the biggest loads of vitamin C are listed below:

Sweet Red pepper (raw); Oranges; Kiwifruit; Sweet Green pepper


(raw); Broccoli; Fresh Strawberries; Cooked Brussels Sprouts;
Grapefruit; Tomato juice; Cantaloupe; Cooked Cabbage;
Cauliflower; Baked Potato; Raw Tomato; Spinach and Green Peas.

If you increase your intake of vitamin C rich foods daily then you will
definitely help offset the effects of ageing on your hair a healthy
boost indeed.

B-Complex Vitamins (Biotin & B5)
Biotin boosts hair by protecting and repairing damage from over-
styling, excessive sun exposure, heat treatment damage and over-
shampooing. Vitamin B5 plays an important supporting role in
adrenal gland functioning and has been shown to stimulate hair
growth.76

Biotin deficiency seen in some cases of pregnancy (due to massive


increased nutritional demands on pregnant mothers) has been
clearly shown to cause hair loss. Other causes of biotin deficiency
are smoking and poor liver functioning.77

Eating foods rich in both vitamin B5 and Biotin can aid new hair
growth and prevent hair loss so we definitely recommend increasing
intake of the following:

Sources of Vitamin B5 78 - brewer's yeast, corn, cauliflower, kale,


broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, legumes, lentils, egg yolks, beef

(especially organ meats such as liver and kidney), turkey, duck,
chicken, milk, split peas, peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes,
sunflower seeds, whole-grain breads and cereals, lobster, wheat
germ, and salmon.

Sources of Biotin79 - brewer's yeast; cooked eggs, especially egg


yolk; sardines; nuts (almonds, peanuts, pecans, walnuts) and nut
butters; soybeans; other legumes (beans, blackeye peas); whole
grains; cauliflower; bananas; and mushrooms.

12: Fish Oil No more inflammation!


Research has shown that prolonged supplementation of omega-3
and omega-6 rich oils coupled with antioxidants had positive results.
In a 2015 study done on 120 healthy female participants with female
pattern hair loss, changes in hair density and changes in active hair
follicle distribution of hair growth were measured over a six-month
period. Results showed higher performance in the experimental
groups than the controls. About 90% of participants reported a
reduction in hair loss, as well as an improvement in hair diameter
and density.80

Omega-3 rich foods like salmon, tuna, egg yolks, walnuts and hemp
seeds reduce inflammation. Additional supplementation options can
also have vast benefit and can include one tablespoon of cod -liver
oil daily to help reduce inflammation associated with hair disorders.

13: TOCOTRIENOLS The Power To


Preserve
Tocotrienols, a part of the vitamin E family have wide-ranging
positive benefits to health. Such benefits include protecting against
cardiovascular complications, diabetes, stroke, breast cancer,
prostate cancer, and reduction of cholesterol. 81 82 83

Many studies have shown that tocotrienols can be incorporated into


treatments to help prevent hair loss. In one such study, participants
were given a vitamin E complex supplement over a five month
period. By the end of the study, the participants recorded a
staggering 42% average increase in hair count. The researchers
concluded that the results were not linked to any reduction in DHT

Page 33
but rather linked to the antioxidant properties of vitamin E which
84 85 86
protects and replenishes hair follicles.

The science seems to indicate that the tocotrienols members of the


vitamin E family have the ability to combat some of the causes of
hair loss through their antioxidant properties. The tocotrienols
prevent healthy hair follicles from being damage caused by ageing,
high DHT or inflammation.87

Increase your intake of the lesser known members of the vitamin E


family by eating the following tocotrienols rich foods:

Apples; Avocadoes; Bananas; Cherries; Figs; Grapefruit;


Nectarines; Olives; Oranges; Peaches; Plums; Prune juice;
Raspberries; Strawberries; Watermelon
