Stop Hair Loss, Add Aromatherapy Oils in Your DIY Hair Masks

Aromatherapy oils are natural and effective ingredients used in the formulation of hair loss products and preparation of home-made hair masks.

They are excellent elements used to improve the hair condition, stop hair fall problems, as well as encourage the growth of stronger and healthier hair follicles.

One of the biggest advantages aromatherapy oils have to offer is that they are naturally formulated to stop hair loss and to help grow thicker, fuller, and healthier hair strands.

Applying home-made hair masks with aromatherapy oil can also moisturize and nourish the hair follicles, providing a long-lasting conditioning effect on the scalp.

Scientists discover new gel may stop hair growth, eliminate need to shave

Philadelphia, Penn. - Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a drug that when combined with a gel, helps stop unwanted hair growth, thus eliminating the need to shave.

It was found that cidofovir, commonly used to treat eye infections, significantly reduced hair growth during a study involving sixteen men with beards when combined with a gel and applied on the skin in a three percent dose.

“Eflornithine, the only prescription topical agent approved in the United States for female facial hirsutism [excessive hair growth], has only a 32 percent success rate... therefore, additional topical treatments effective in preventing hair growth are needed,” according to scientist Joy Wan and her team, reports the Daily Mail.

Therefore, the dose level needs to be adjusted, however, when given in too strong of doses, subjects experienced nausea, headache, fever and a drop in white blood cells. 

Further trials regarding the drug will continue before it is perfected, as researchers found the gel to be “...safe and well tolerated. But we did not observe total alopecia [hair loss] as was previously reported and the treatment dose and duration may have been insufficient to trigger this effect.”
