Home-made Hair Loss Remedies

1. Pound some shallots till fine. Then add a little lukewarm water. Wash your hair with this concoction for 15 min. This should prevent, or at least minimise, hair loss.

2. Take a few strands of lemongrass and pound till fine. Before pounding, make sure you throw away the leafy part. Mix it with two glasses of water and bring to the boil, then leave to cool. After it is sufficiently cooled, rub the liquid into your scalp. Do this twice or thrice a week, one hour before washing your hair.

3. Take a handful of leaves of Pterocarpus indicus (* see blow) and squeze into a glass of water until a gel-like liquid results. Leave overnight to dew. The next morning, strain out the debris and put the liquid all over your hair. You should feel a cool sensation as the liquid is massaged into the scalp. Leave awhile before washing clean. This home-made hair loss remedy is said to be able to prevent hair loss, or at least minimize its occurence.

* Pterocarpus indicus is one of the best known trees in southeast Asia. It is known as narra in the Philippines, sonokembang in Indonesia, angsana or sena in Malaysia and Singapore, and pradoo in Thailand.
