Home Remedy for Hair Loss

Swathy · March 20, 2010 · 28 Comments

I will be sharing with you a very simple home remedy for hair loss and promote hair growth.

  • Collect the lime seeds and dry them in the sun for a day or two.
  • Mix the lime seeds with black pepper seeds and grind them or powder them.
  • You can store the powder for use but not more than a month. It is better to make a fresh batch every time.
  • For application, take an adequate quantity of the powder to cover whole of you scalp and mix it with water to make a paste. Apply everyday on the scalp for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  And, if  not everyday, make sure you use it once a week. Wash off with cold water. You need not follow it with shampoo.
  • Alternatively, you can take all the seeds (lime, black pepper and fengreek). Soak them in water overnight. Make a paste of the ingredients. Apply it on the scalp. Best results if done at least thrice a week.

    You can cut a lime and pick the seeds. Let them dry in the sun and powder them with the black pepper seeds which you get at spice stores. Do not use the pepper powder available in the market. And, always use the powder fresh.

    Hi
    Collect the lime seeds and keep them in direct sun light for a day or two. They will dry completely. Then, you can powder them along with the black pepper seeds in a grinder, mixer or by pounding them with a heavy object.
    Hope this helps. Do get back to me in case of doubts.

    Foolish idea.. how you will collect so many lime seed. And according to Herbal phenomenon black pepper is never good to put in hairs.

      Let me tell you, if you have ever cut a lemon , an average sized lemon has 4-5 seeds in it . .so how about using 2-3 lemons mr. anonymous . . .these tips work for someone, so you shouldnt call them foolish . . .black pepper is widely used not just for hair growth but also as a herbal method of dyeing your hair black.

    Can’t you just buy lime seeds at the supermarket and grind them with black pepper?

      Yes it would be useful. Also, follow the onion juice method you would have come across in the blog. For more articles, copy the following link in the address bar of your browser.

      hi Kratika. if your forehead is naturally broad, nothing can grow hair there. if you lost hair over time, may be you can get the hair follicles to stimulate.
