How to fight hair loss at home: a ready-made recipe

Both men and women face the problem of hair loss. There are many factors that trigger this unpleasant process. Unfortunately, alopecia can be caused by a genetic predisposition, and the only way to combat it is with a hair transplant. However, if the cause is a vitamin deficiency, stress, or improper hair care, hair loss can be easily stopped. To do this, you need to regularly use special root care products, adjust your diet, and replenish vitamin deficiencies. In this article, we'll tell you how to do this, as well as which active ingredients are best used in hair care products.

Causes of Hair Loss
Hormonal – increased androgen levels in men, decreased estrogen production in women, most often associated with menopause.
Pregnancy – in this case, treatment is not necessary, as the phenomenon is temporary and is associated with the intricacies of the female body's restructuring during pregnancy.

Lack of vitamins and minerals.

Thyroid or ovarian diseases are often accompanied by hair loss.

Scalp diseases and improper hair care. Seborrhea and dermatitis are often accompanied by weakening of the hair roots and subsequent hair loss.

Taking medications, for example, for cancer

Stress and long-term nervous conditions.

However, don't panic if you periodically see hair on your hairbrush or pillow. This doesn't mean you're going bald. Hair is simply renewing itself, as its lifespan is 2 to 6 years. Lost hair is constantly replaced by new growth. If, when you part your hair, you see short hairs, a kind of vellus, then everything is fine and your hair is shedding naturally. However, if your hair is falling out but there's no vellus, then your hair needs serious care. It's also important to remember that with age, more and more hair remains in the "dormant" phase of telogen. In other words, the hair follicle is healthy, but hair doesn't grow from it. That's why, as you age, you need to pay more attention to hair growth products—to "wake it up," so to speak. Then you can restore the thick hair you had in your youth.

Another problem that's sometimes confused with hair loss is hair breakage. Thin and weak hair simply breaks, and it doesn't fall out at the root; it can break, for example, two centimeters from the scalp. As a result, we lose our hair's former thickness.

The good news is that both hair loss and hair breakage can be combated with homemade cosmetics. Choosing the right active ingredients is important.

Scalp Care for Hair Loss
Shampoo and Conditioner for Hair Loss
Shampoo and conditioner are essential hair care products. However, if you're offered an anti-hair loss shampoo, it's a marketing ploy. While you can certainly add active ingredients, extracts, and complexes when formulating the shampoo, the shampoo is only on the scalp for a short time, preventing these active ingredients from taking effect.

Nevertheless, the recipe for an anti-hair loss shampoo should also be modified. It should include only mild surfactants. You can create a gentle SLS/SLES-free shampoo using Eco-certified surfactants; the recipe can be found on our YouTube channel, "Beurre Cosmetic Kitchen." The Japanese surfactant Amisoft CS-22 has also proven very effective in shampoos. It's formulated with amino acids, which are especially important for hair loss. Just 2-3% of this surfactant in the overall formula makes the shampoo lather richer and denser, leaving hair very soft. The active phase should include keratin, wheat, or silk hydrolysates, as well as amino acids such as arginine or the Prodew 500 amino acid hair complex. It not only strengthens hair but also makes it smoother, shinier, and preserves the color of dyed hair.

There's no point in enriching a conditioner with active ingredients specifically for hair loss, as it's applied only to the scalp, not the hair shaft. However, to prevent breakage and strengthen the hair itself, you can include moisturizing additives in your conditioner or balm (such as Aqua Shuttle, Aquaxyl, Hyaluronic Acid, various hydrolysates and amino acids, and Prodew 500).

Sprays, lotions, and masks for hair loss The most effective treatments for hair loss remain leave-in sprays, masks, and oil scalp massages—that is, any products that remain on the scalp for a long time. These should include effective and expensive active ingredients, peptides, and extracts. All active ingredients that prevent excessive hair loss typically improve blood circulation around the hair follicle, thereby stimulating its growth, and combat follicle atrophy, thereby preventing it from "dying," prolonging its lifespan. As a result, hair is preserved and does not fall out for a longer period. Active Ingredients for Leave-In Anti-Hair Loss Treatments Duration of action and regular use are the keys to the success of anti-hair loss cosmetics. This is why leave-in sprays are the most effective. However, remember that you will not see the first results for at least 2-3 weeks of daily application of the product to the roots. It's advisable to complement the procedure with a light scalp massage. What should the spray consist of? A leave-in anti-hair loss spray recipe typically consists of a water phase, active ingredients, and, of course, a preservative. Without an oily phase, the spray shouldn't leave hair greasy and can be used daily without worrying about it looking dull. Part of the water phase can also be replaced with hydrosols, which will add additional strengthening properties to the spray. The following hydrosols are suitable for scalp care: Ginger – improves circulation, stimulates hair growth Nettle – a good antiseptic, strengthens hair, promotes growth, and normalizes sebum production Burdock – activates hair follicles Lavender – soothes the scalp, is an antiseptic Aloe – heals the scalp, moisturizes Rosemary – a powerful antioxidant and antiseptic The most powerful and effective water-soluble anti-hair loss ingredients are Follicusan and the peptide Procapil. They work synergistically because their mechanisms of action on the hair follicle differ. Follicusan consists of several components: milk signaling molecules, inositol, and sulfur-containing amino acids. This active ingredient has a pronounced effect on strengthening hair and awakening dormant hair follicles. It revitalizes follicle cells, awakens dormant hair, and stimulates hair growth. Another pleasant bonus of this active ingredient is its normalization of sebum production, meaning hair becomes less greasy and can be washed less frequently. Procapil peptide also aims to prevent premature aging of the follicle, improves scalp microcirculation, and prevents follicle atrophy caused by the hormone dihydrotestosterone. Procapil suppresses dihydrotestosterone production by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. It also stimulates cellular metabolism and promotes hair growth thanks to its adhesion proteins. In simple terms, the peptide strengthens the hair, prevents premature hair loss, and actively stimulates new hair growth. It's advisable to supplement leave-in serums with amino acids and hydrolysates. Hydrolyzed silk, wheat, and keratin proteins work well. Prodew 500, a true moisturizing cocktail of amino acids, can also be added to an anti-hair loss spray. Caffeine improves microcirculation, tones the scalp, and stimulates hair growth. This active ingredient is appropriate for inclusion in both rinse-out and leave-in hair growth products. Don't forget about water-soluble B vitamins: niacinamide, inositol, and D-panthenol. Niacinamide reduces sebum production, promotes exfoliation of dead cells, and fights inflammation. D-panthenol promotes proper nutrition of scalp cells and hair follicles. Water-soluble centella extract also provides a wealth of vitamins for hair. Arginine, an amino acid found naturally in hair, also works well as a strengthening and growth agent. For a mild keratolytic effect, allantoin can be added to such sprays. In addition to sprays, anti-hair loss masks have proven effective. They can contain fat-soluble active ingredients: carrier oils, essential oils, lipophilic concentrated CO2 extracts, raspberry ketone, and HotFlux, which has a warming effect and improves scalp microcirculation. In hair strengthening masks, it's good to use carrier oils high in oleic, arachidonic, and gamma-linolenic fatty acids, as well as phytosterols. These include crambe or Abyssinian mustard oil, coconut, mustard, jojoba, macadamia, black cumin, and evening primrose. They can also be used for scalp massage.

Raspberry ketone is a must-have for anti-hair loss masks. It stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss by promoting the production of insulin-like growth factor-I in the skin through stimulation of sensory neurons.

The best essential oils for strengthening hair include bay, rosemary, all types of citrus, ginger, and tea tree. And don't forget to add CO2 extracts to active ingredients: red pepper, nettle, burdock, chamomile, centella asiatica, ginkgo biloba, ginger, or a ready-made anti-hair loss extract complex. These will complement the action of the main active ingredients.
