Natural ways to help with thinning hair

While genetics can be responsible for hair loss, there are other contributing factors that could be at play. These include stress, mineral deficiency or thyroid problems! While hair on average grows around 1cm per month, research suggests that this rate of growth can be affected by hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, damaged hair follicles, medication and age.

When it comes to thinning hair, symptoms can also vary from person to person. You may start to notice more hair on your bathroom floor, in drains or on your hair brush. For men a common symptom is a receding hairline, while women may notice that their scalp is more visible in their part. If you’re concerned with hair loss, you can seek advice from our naturopath or consult a GP for testing.

Treating thinning hair with supplements


If there’s a possibility your hair loss could be thyroid related, it’s important to check your family history for thyroid conditions. Our Naturopath recommends the Ethical Nutrients Healthy Hair, Skin & Nails $24.95, for thyroid related hair loss. These supplements work to maintain and support strong, healthy hair.

This unique blend combines the benefits of 78 ionic minerals, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids, electrolytes and dissolved oxygen packed in liquid form. To load your body with beneficial minerals, our Naturopath also recommends the Power Super Foods Wakame Flakes $7.95, and Dulse Flakes $6.95.

For stress related hair loss, Vitamin B is essential! The Ethical Nutrients Super B Daily Stress + $34.95, helps to provide relief during periods of high stress. They’re the perfect supplement for anyone feeling mentally or physically fatigued.

Treating hair loss topically


To treat hair loss topically, there are some fantastic natural hair care products to reach for. The Andalou Naturals Argan Stem Cells Age Defying Thinning Hair System is ideal. Using the benefits of Argan Fruit Stem Cell Science™, these three products work together to fortify hair fibres and stimulate growth.

The Weleda Revitalising Hair Tonic $19.95, is another great product filled with hair loving ingredients including Rosemary Oil and Burdock Root. This dermatologically tested product strengthens hair from the root and maintains a healthy scalp!

When treating hair loss, it’s also important to use a protective shampoo and conditioner to protect against protein loss while deeply conditioning. Look for products rich in antioxidants to condition dry, brittle hair. Follow your shampoo and conditioner routine weekly with a hair rinse. You can make your own by mixing a splash of apple cider vinegar to warm water and rising through your hair.
