How to Regrow Hair
Hair loss is one of the many effects of aging and other health conditions. There are many ways to promote hair growth. Here are some tips you can follow.
Natural Remedies
Before deciding to spend money on hair growth products, you may want to try any of these tips first.
Eat a balanced diet. Like any part of the body, your hair needs nutrients to grow. Eat foods rich in biotin, zinc, vitamin B complex, vitamins C and E. These are all essential for hair growth.
Exercise daily. You have to make sure that your scalp is getting enough nutrients. Exercising promotes better circulation in your body.

Massage. Use your fingertips to massage your scalp in circular motion. You may also use a brush or scalp massager. Do this every day for 5- 10 minutes. Massaging your scalp will stimulate hair growth.
Buy only shampoos that contain nutrients for your hair, like silica, aloe vera, chamomile and ginseng.
Take biotin supplements. This is important for healthy hair and skin.
Use Herbs for hair treatments.

Grind parsley seeds and use the resulting powder on your hair. Do this at least once a month.
