Are You Struggling With Alopecia?

Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that flares when the immune system gets confused and starts attacking hair follicles. The cause of the condition is still a mystery -- but the result is tough-to-cover bald spots that can be even tougher to cure.



Rx: Manganese

If you’ve been diagnosed with this frustrating condition, consider trying a manganese supplement. European studies suggest that almost 100 percent of people with alopecia are deficient in this mineral -- and taking supplements helped some of their bald spots fill in within just four months! The study-proven dose: 10 milligrams daily. Reputable brands include Natrol, Bluebonnet and Twinlab.

Do You Have Male Pattern Baldness?

If you have a receding hairline or a thinning patch on the top of your head, welcome to the world of male pattern baldness. It’s a genetic glitch that makes hair follicles super-sensitive to testosterone, hence being a predominately male misfortune.



Rx: Essential Oils

Try whipping up this essential oil blend: Mix four teaspoons of grapeseed oil, half a teaspoon of jojoba oil, two drops each of thyme and cedarwood oils and three drops each of lavender and rosemary oils (you’ll find everything you need at your local health food store), then cover your head with a towel for 10 minutes before showering. In a study published in the journal Archives of Dermatology, when 44 percent women spent two minutes nightly massaging a few drops of this aromatic blend into their thinning patches and gave the oils time to absorb, their hair growth was back to normal within seven months. The secret: These medicinal oils strengthen and repair hair follicles, helping them produce healthy hair strands, despite testosterone fluxes, say the study authors.

Is Your Hair Disappearing As Fast As The Pounds?

It’s a thrill to step on the scales and realize your diet is actually working, but watching your hair drop out as can put a real damper on your enthusiasm. Here’s the problem: Your hair is 91 percent protein; in fact, every single hair cell is jam-packed with the stuff. So if your diet is low in this essential building block, your hair strands will become thinner, more fragile and eventually fall right out, say University of Toronto researchers.



Rx: Protein

Whatever eating plan you choose, make sure you serve up four ounces of protein-rich beef, pork, chicken or turkey every day. You could see improvements in as little as six weeks.

Are Your Eyebrows Thinning, Too?

If you’re losing the hair on both your scalp and your eyebrows, that’s a red flag that your thyroid is struggling, say experts at Washington’s Emory University. “People think they’ll be exhausted, gain weight or feel chilly if their thyroid isn’t up to snuff,” says Gary S. Hitzig, M.D., a hair transplant surgeon in Long Island, New York. “Yet one of the earliest signs of thyroid trouble is actually thinning head and eyebrow hair!”



Rx: A Doctor!

Get a sluggish thyroid treated and your locks could start thickening in as little as nine weeks, say researchers at the NYU School of Medicine.

Is Your Scalp Flaky?

Those dandruff flare-ups are actually caused by fungus, say researchers at China’s Jilin University.



Rx: Listerine

It’s true; mouthwash can cure dandruff! That’s because thymol (a key ingredient in Listerine) destroys 24 strains of fungi. Thymol even kills the drug-resistant fungi that dandruff shampoos have trouble taming. Just pour 1/4 cup of Listerine onto damp hair, massage thoroughly into your scalp, wait five minutes and then rinse and shampoo as usual. Repeat daily until the flaking disappears.

Do You Have Weak or Brittle Fingernails?

Sulfur is crucial in the development of strong nails and a deficiency can be what’s keeping you from that manicure.



Rx: MSM

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an odorless, tasteless form of sulfur found naturally in many fruits, veggies and meats, is good for your nails. It’s such an important building block of healthy nail tissue that taking 2,000 to 2,500 milligrams daily can help women grow strong, break-resistant nails within two months. MSM is quickly destroyed when food is heated or processed, so pumping up your levels with a supplement is a smart bet if you’re struggling with not-so-sturdy nails right now. Look for MSM in health food stores and nutrition outlets.

Bonus: According to studies at Oregon Health Sciences, MSM is also a powerful anti-inflammatory that can cut joint pain, muscle pain and headache flare-ups by 82 percent in as few as six weeks.

Do You Have White Spots on Your Nails?

If your nails are covered with tiny white specks, you probably need more zinc. Although doctors aren’t sure yet why, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that as zinc levels drop, the number of these tiny nail “bruises” skyrockets.



Rx: Red meat, fish and chicken

Take 25 milligrams of zinc daily or add three ounces of zinc-rich red meat, fish, poultry or eggs to each meal to boost your tissue stores of this mineral by 35 percent – you'll grow new, speckle-free nails in just six months, say USDA researchers. Want spot-free nails even quicker? Zinc is best taken at bedtime so take a supplement before you snooze. High doses of stomach acid are needed for proper mineral absorption, and according to researchers at Houston’s University of Texas, stomach acid production doubles after 10 p.m.

I agree on coconut treatment. I do this every time I feel that my hair is not healthy.
