Hi Minaz Thank you for your tips l am losing my hair every day I hope your tips will help me to save my hair thank’s again

Suzanne Matsumoto(Naga) says

Love everything you are writing. Would like to get you news letter please

Mahak Rajgarhia says

Hi Minaz, your blog might just be my saviour but i am confused as to how to combine the different remedies – which oil, which shampoo and which conditioner. Can you help please!

Louise says

Hi Minaz, just come across your great site! You mention the hair follicles being fed + oxygen supplied by the blood vessels? I feel my scalp is like a desert without water, it feels tight, like the blood doesn’t get to the follicles, causing fine, wispy hair. Any tips to improve this problem? Many thanks in advance

Minaz says

You can use wide-tooth wood comb to stimulate your scalp. Comb multiple times. Also use weekly hair masks such as avocado or egg.

Eisha Raazia says

Hi Minaz Hope u will be in the best state of health and spirit Plzz help me because I am so stressed about the bad hair fall I’m facing I lost half of the volume, shine and length by that time Plz tell me something so I can get back my shining and Long, thick hair back as soon as possible Because I can’t handle it now

Cassandra Barnes says

where can I get a hair mineral analysis?

Cassandra Barnes says

Hello, so glad to find your blog!!!!!! Is it safe to mix Bhringraj supplement powder, Nettle supplement powder and Horsetail supplement powder together in a smoothie? I

Minaz says

Hi Cassandra, I would try one powder at a time to see what suits you.

Prachi says

Hey so I started to use your hair mask made of shakakai powder, neem powder, tulsi powder, and yogurt. I was wondering that if I stopped using it when I get my desired results would my hair stay the way it is or would it go back to the way it used to be? Thank you and by the way, love your tips.

Minaz says

Prachi, as your hair gets healthier you can reduce the frequency of applying the mask. But you will still need to look after it with natural remedies like oiling, hair rinses etc. It’s like eating healthy foods, you can’t just eat them for a year and then go back to eating junk foods.

Cynthia says

Hi Minaz, I just found your website. I have very very frizzy dark hair which has become increasingly and embarrassingly thin over the past 25 plus years. I am 52 going through pre-menopause and my hair is thinner than ever. I live in Montreal and I am wondering what you suggest I start with as you have so many different masks that you speak about. Thank you for any help you can suggest.

Minaz says

Hi Cynthia, you can start with egg mask or aloe vera mask. Also, when there’s too many options, I pick ones that are easily available, so it’s less stressful to start with and you can move ahead from there.

Anja says

Dear Minaz,
Your research about hair is amazing. I wonder if you have a suggestion for me, having curly dark blond hair. It is dry and dull, sometimes dandruff occurs. I would like to give it a mask or any other treatment. Just came back from India recently, with Amla, Shikakai and Bhringrai powder. I don’ t dare to use it, as I am not sure if it would darken my hair as it mostly is used on black hair. I’ d prefer to lighten it up (or just keep it as it is).
Would you have any suggestions?

Thank you so much for your beautiful blog!

Stay safe, best regards, Anja

Minaz says

Hi Anja, I am soon doing an article on conditioning methods for blond hair. In the mean while you can try out these herbal hair rinses and they may be useful for your hair.
And thanks for your kind words, you too take care.

Mona says

Hi Minaj,
My son is loosing hair from
Last many months. He is only 17. Is there any way to contact you for advice / consultation
Thanks

Minaz says

Hi Mona, I do not offer consultation. I would advise you to go to the doctor to rule out any deficiency.

mona says

Thanks for your reply….. He is very healthy kid and got all his test done and they are all good. Could be genatic but he is very young for that please suggest.

Thanks

Minaz says

It’s good to know that his test are all clear. It could be genetic, but I would also check his sleeping habit as well as his screen time. These factor do affect the repair and renewal of our body cells (including hair cells). Also, whether he is a picky eater and doesn’t eat good food: fruits and vegetables, lentils and pulses, nuts etc. Hope this helps.

mona says

Hi Minaz,
Thank you so much for the replay. I am closely watching his diet now and thanks for all the tips…..there are so many home remedies can you please suggest which one can help him and I try for him.
Thanks Again

Dora says

Minaz says

You need to assess your diet. Stop eating fast food/ fried/sugary foods. Include lots of vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts and needs into your diet.

Deepika says

Hi Minaz…I luv to read ur tips..I can’t make d shampoo at home..can plz tell me which ready made shampoo is gud for hairfall ND growth

John Shallcross says

Hi mina, I am always interested in reading your posts . I am john and would like to ask a couple of questions if ok ! I’ve read numerous studies about ashwaganda being good for hair and l – arginine because they both reduce inflammation and increase blood circulation, but then I read comments by Larry Shapiro from help hair company in America who contradicts all the studies that have been done and he says that because they are anabolic, they also increase testosterone which then leads to more d.h.t ,I am totally mythed by all these contractions. I would like to know what you’re view is on this.
Thanks John

Minaz says

Hi John, I will get back to you on this.

Ekta Mittal says

Hi Minaz,

Thank for your highly informative blog. Really appreciate your detailed research and inclination towards natural treatment.

I am dealing with dry hair and excessive breakage. I keep my hair oiled everyday down to reduce dryness and prevent breakage. But nothing is working. I have lost the volume and shine. I see there are a lot of treatments you have mentioned in your blog. But I am not able to come up with a daily/ weekly routing. Can you please recommend a haircare routine for such condition?

chizo onuh says

Hi, is there a way to contact you? I had to resort to comment section.

Gurpreet Kaur says

Hi Minaz. Came across your website recently. Hoping to get some permanent fix to my ever-present hair loss woes. One quick question: since when have you been running this initiative?
A minor thing: in the below sentence, should it be meditation instead of mediation?
“When he gained enlightenment, through intense mediation, he was given the title of buddha.”

Minaz says

Hi Gurpreet, yes corrected now, thanks for pointing out.
Hope you find a remedy for hair growth. My suggestion would be to have patience, and if one remedy doesn’t work, try out another. And when something works make a note of it. And this way you will figure out what works for you.

Bridget Ajayi says

Do you have a social media page

Bree Ajayi says

Smita says

Hi Minaz,

I have been having hairfall issue since so many months, i have consulted all the dermatologists but they were unable to find the cause of my hairfall.
I guess when there is no cause doctors give it a name- Telogen Effluvium.
Can you please suggest any herb/natural remedies to combat this?

Gautam says

This website contents are valuable not only for hair care but also for general health.
Keep going. Keep sharing your experience. Thanks a lot????.

Deepal says

Is LaFresh black seed hair oil good?

Mali says

Hi,
Really valuable content for hair lovers. However please don’t use word “ Buddha” as a commercial name as it is the name of great Lord Buddha, which all the Buddhists are respect. Thanks

mary Eileen Goodwin says

Hi Minaz, have been enjoying reading your advice and comments and I really appreciate the knowledge you pass on. I have just started making my own shampoo and conditioners, hopefully to start selling in future. Could you suggest your top oils and powders that you have found to be the most effective for cleansing and conditioning. I’m finding it quite difficult to be 100% natural with any formulation and be effective and leave the hair soft. Thanks so much.
Mary

I really like what I have so far read ere on your blog. I really like the idea of using the wonderful ingredients you have mentioned but it is not easy to get all these into a usable state. Do you have any advise? Thanks…

Samia says

Hi Minaz,
I felt so good to know you and your passion for health and beauty through holistic approach.
I am originally from Pakistan and remember our nani and mom using natural way of taking care of themselves. Unfortunately, natural ways have been replaced by market products packed with beautiful packaging and bad chemical rich ingredients our bodies don’t need.
I am on the same page as you and have been using natural ways of taking care of myself. Recently, I have thought of fully transition to ayurvedic and holistic ways having zero chemical based products at home from hair care to counter care of the kitchen.
G
Happy to know you.
I live in Washington DC and is originally from Pakistan.
Love to meet you in case you visit DC.

Best,
Samia

Minaz says

Hi Samia,
Thanks for your lovely comment. Yes going natural is very satisfying as well as good for overall health and well-being. We do owe to our children and their children to keep the planet clean and toxins free. Hope to hear more from you, and in case I visit DC I will let you know.

Good morning,

Keep up the good work ma.

I am 41 years old now but I started growing gray hair very much on time (in my teen)and I started applying hair dye for roughly 1 year now. Though it darken my hair when applied but after 1 week, the dye begins to fade away, revealing the white hairs again. I also notice that my hair texture has changed negatively.

Please I need home remedy for MY gray hair so that I can completely do away with the dye as soon as I am able to get a natural lasting remedy for my gray hair.

Thanks.

Rosemary.

Are you a type A personality who takes a lot of stress?

storm says

awesome story Minaz 😀
im currently hitting fifty & my hair is starting to thin out as i age, i know its unrealistic to think i can hang onto it indefinitely but a few more years could be nice, im very youthful looking male. thanks to my tiny child doll like barbie mum.
my dads hair started thinning in his mid forties. Ive started using an expensive french rose hip oil (i don’t want to say the brand name here, its all written in french anyway) it has a scientific ingredient similar to rogaine, i tried rogaine its very harsh, i get deathly tired & ill feeling after using it & ive had to wash it out numerous times. a hair care professional friend suggested it & gave me a bottle from her salon. rose hip oil is way more natural & when i feel my scalp with my fingertips, i can feel the velvety feeling of new hair pushing up 😀 i might get a few more good hair days yet! Im fascinated by sub continent India culture & remedies, (did you hear about colgate stealing a toothpaste formula from an Indian village) ive totally boycotted colgate from my home because of it & for a big company to conduct itself like that its not something i want to be part of.

peace love & alfalfa sprouts!!!

Rhodnia Johnson says

Love your stories and articles. Do you have anything on how to make Ayurveda oils using the various Ayurveda herbs?

Minaz says

Thanks. Search amla oil and brahmi oil.

Shan Khan says

Hi Minaz ! Hopefully you will be fine and good…….I have Alopecia in my hairs and beard for 2 years ago……….I am using different medicines but not any results……….Please help me to get rid of alopecia

Minaz says

Hi Shan Khan, alopecia is usually triggered by a stressful episode. Also, unhealthy diet can cause inflammation in the body, which can then trigger alopecia. Look into these two thing.
Have your vitamin D and B12 checked.

daniela says

Halo Minaz, thank you very much for so many information 🙂 I have question, please. I love to use kefir/milk on my hair/skin, but I hate how it smells after that. No matter how I wash if off, it smells until the second day. My husband always laughs that I smell like a puked baby. Any tip how to cover/get rid of the smell? Same thing with fennugreek, love what it does to my hair, but the smell is really bad…thank you soooooo much

Minaz says

Hi Daniela, you can use a hair rinse to mask the smell. Lavender, rosemary, chamomile – whatever your hair likes.

daniela says

thank you, I’ll try it 🙂

pradeep says

Mam, Iam at South Sudan, we use hard water what precaution should I take to protect my hair..

Rose says

Ma’am plz help me I hav losted my 1/3 hair . Wat can I do for regrowth . I hav dandruff and oily skin plz suggest me

Jacqui Malcolm says

s brushing good for your hair, my daughter and I have not washed our hair for 4 weeks now as we don’t like the commercial shampoos, but will certainly make one of yours, but we have been brushing our hair with a hogs hair brush for about and hour each evening after dinner and rinsing with rosemary infused water. Is this amount of brushing okay, our hair is looking good. She has very thick wavy brown hair and I have fine grey hair, but plenty of it.

Minaz says

May be an hour is a bit too much, but if you have very thick hair and you are doing it in sections, it will require more time. Try reducing the brushing time by half.
And continue rosemary hair rinse, it’s excellent for hair.
Let me know how it goes for you.

Preeti says

Can you advise me the best shampoo for hair fall issue? I was diagnosed with Telogen Effluvium where I losing over 50 hairs almost every day since long time.

Jatin Shah says

Hi Minaz,
You mentioned to use unrefined castor oil.but on other blogs I read to use refined castor oil.it says unrefined castor oil is poiseneous.I am confuse now can you please help me here.I just started using castor oil for my itching scalp and dandruff problem.I am at present using refined castor oil.I have this problem since last 6 to 7 months and I didnt loose hair but now it grows very slowely and all the bushyness is thining now.I used to able to hold a small ponytail after 2 months of last hair cut now it takes three months but hair is not that much like before.I am also having bumps and itching problem for last 2 months.

Jatin

Minaz says

Hi Jatin, Unrefined castor oil is okay to use on hair. If you are not getting results after using castor oil, don’t use it.
For dandruff, try this and this

Zia says

Hi, I have been using Amla Juice since 1 month as suggested. In the last 2-3 years lost my lots of hair from both side nd upper part.
Let me know please how can i get my lost hair or regrow.

Pratibha says

Sorry my previous comment was not completed and it got posted.
I have started having Vit B2 and Biotine 5000 mcg if this will be any help. Is there any way I can keep oiliness at bay or use some kind of refreshing herbal spray between applying hair pack and shampooing twice a week. Hair grows quickly – a good 2 inches in two months but it remains thin/fine and straggly. How can I thicken my hair ? Thankyou very much.

Pratibha says

Hello again, Minaz,
I had written to you sometime last year. Have not given up making and using Miracle Hair mask and Shikekai shampoo that you have kindly suggested, though I still don’t see any improvement but have not given up hope. Scalp continues to be overly oily, with fine, thinning hair and hair loss which leaves me disappointed. With so many home made natural products, I am getting really confused. My only wish is to keep whatever little hair that’s left !
I believe oily scalp can also be a reason for hair loss and still it is necessary to use the oils for nourishment. No conditioning is necessary either after shampooing.
I have started taking Vit.B12 and So what routine should I follow

amit says

Hairfall 50% need suggest.
Internal and external. Solutions

Harsha says

Raghavendra says

Hi Minaz,

I am 30 now. I am facing more hairloss. My doubt is will I regrow my hair back at this age by applying all your tips and diets?
And please tell me at what age you have regrown your hair back.
Awaiting for your reply.
Many Thanks,
Raagu

Minaz says

Hi Raghu, I am 37 years old. Yes it is certainly possible at 30, because I was older than you when I regrew my lost hair.
Best wishes.

Hello ma’am
I am 28 years old and i have been experiencing hair loss from the past 6 years and now my hair are very weak and thin… Earlier i used to have double the volume and thick hair as compared to what i have today. Also when i massage my hair,my hair falls out even more. I am very tensed. Will a proper diet and exercise help? If yes then for how long i need to practice it.? Please revert ma’am.. Looking for a favourable response.

Thanks and regards

Minaz says

Hi Kumud, If hair massage causes more hair fall, just do a light tapping with fingers on the scalp, this will also stimulate your hair follicles.
It will take a few months. The less stressed you are, the faster your hair will grow.

Hi Minaz,
I signed up for your newsletter but got no link in my inbox not even in spam. What may have happened.
I am impressed with your egg and olive oil hair mask and intend to try it. Scared about the smell in the bathroom, please can you suggest some methods to take that smell off from the bathroom ??

Minaz says

Hi Sala,

Try it a few times to see if it works or not.

You can also apply egg mask or ayurvedic hair mask. See which one works best for you.

Dorota Grodzinska says

Minaz: thank you for posting hair remedies. I am going to use couple of them to revive my hair which is getting limp and dry…I am participating in a clinical trial for migraines and I think it is affecting my hair. Is this the way to contact you, or can you respond to my email and I can give you a full story. Since you are a neuro therapist I thought you might have an understanding of my particular situation. Thank you! Dorota

Minaz says

Minaz says

Hi Jai,
Give these 3 hair masks a try and see what work best for your hair:
1. Miracle hair mask
2. Ayurvedic hair mask
3. Egg and olive oil hair mask.
Use each hair mask 2-3 times and see which one suits your hair the best. And continue using that.

Minaz says

You can use it once or twice a week.

Minaz I liked your website about hair topics, very easy to read and understand and your transition from being a physiotherapist to alternative medicine

Henrietta says

Ok…I have a question… I consider myself a home herbalist so I am wondering what herbs are good to use besides Rosemary? I grow my own lemon Basil, Orange Mint, purple Basil and sweet Basil. Yes, I love Basil. Lol. I have extremely dry hair especially in the summer because I colour & have a bit of grey… shh! Lol. The Rosemary water tends to dry out my hair. Thanks for this article!

Minaz says

Wow.. you must share your herb knowledge with us.
Rosemary is drying for my hair too.
You can try marshmallow root. even basil is good. Have you tried it?
Here are more herbs for dry hair.

Vimala says

Mridul Singh says

Hello Minaz ,
I’m mrudul , 26 male, recently my hair have been turning white and is very visible. earlier it was just little but now it can easily be seen. as per google research i thought it might be due to lack of B12 deficiency. However im a non vegeterian who eats eggs daily so i doubt it might be deficiency of B12. im not really sure what might be the reason for my hair turning white at such a young age. I’m losing my confidence because of this when i face people. my diet is filled with protein i.e eggs chicken yogurt. however since couple of yours i havnt been eating veggies much. i cannot figure out the reason. Please guide me with this query. Also, I request you to help me out with a remedy please.

raja says

Mridul i ask you to read the entire hairloss portion of this website. If you say i did already just for me go once. Just read it read it keep read it few times.
Then you would definitely find out what the problem you have.
Dont simply said you have lack of some vitamin and by avoiding veges & greens you make more trouble to your hair. You need all nuts fruits vege fish egg and so on.
Ever since you became to worry and conscious on your hair that has fallen you get in more trouble .This is more harm to you mentally as well. So please take the Hair affirmation and believe you feed good nutritients to your hair and it take some time. Be patience believe in your process and thoughts. Read hairloss column now.. i believe you will be gotta lustrous hair☺
things you should follow
1.stay cool
2. Dont view mirror. Bec it makes more stress
3. Get hair massagr with warm coconut oil daily and go for a weekly once sesame oil massage on either tue or fri.
4. Stop junk food and snacks/sweets/salt foods.
5. Consume more water especially on empty stomach. Go for a cow milk
. Take ginger garlic onion applications
6. Practise asanas amd pranayama. Just get out bed at 5am and religiously involve in meditation.
7. Avoid all chemicals and start using natural ( shikakkai, aloevera, fenugreek, egg and so on)
Dont take this all as simple it will change your worries sure.
This is the wonderful site and i just love thiss all and read daily. You must read everything on this site and follow the best.
