Nettle Treats Hair Loss.

Are you losing your hair? A few clumps or strands in the shower is nothing to concern yourself over. We all lose a little hair each day caused by excessive scratching, hats, or due to age.

If you are actively losing your hair, let’s say 100 strands per day or more, you may notice thin patches that clearly expose your scalp. You could speak with a doctor, sure. Or you could try the health benefits of nettle.

Now, before you go out to the woods and pick a few nettle leaves, know that many beauty stores and even Amazon sell nettle oil to stimulate strand growth.

Essentially, you rub the nettle oil into your scalp, but just a few drops, then wash your hair with shampoo as per usual. Before long, you’ll note that fewer strands are falling by the wayside.

 

Nettle Neutralizes Free Radical Damage to the Scalp.

What is free radical damage? Free radicals are unstable molecules attracted to stable molecules, which they attack and damage. This damage leads to inflammation, which in turn leads to hair loss.

The extent of such hair loss is unclear, though. In some women, hair loss is so significant that alopecia of the scalp forms. Eventually, radical damage will prevent new hair growth altogether.

But the antioxidants found in nettle prevent free radicals from attacking stable molecules by using their electrons to attract free radicals instead. From vitamin C to beta-carotene, nettle is jam-packed with useful antioxidants to prevent damage to the scalp and hair.

 

With more and more women actively trying nettle to bolster their hair growth, reduce hair loss, and enjoy healthier hair overall, don’t you think it’s time you try nettle oil for your scalp?
