At Hairblues, we can never get enough information for helping us make our locks easier to manage. Check out what kind of remedies American Indians use for their hair.
American Indian Remedies for Hair
- Jojoba oil is an extract of the Jojoba plant found in California, Arizona and parts of Mexico. Jojoba oil has been used for hundreds of years by American Indians to moisturize and grow hair. The molecular makeup of jojoba has similar characteristics to the natural oil the glands of the scalp produce. Jojoba oil can be purchased at herb shops and can be applied directly to your hair or you can add a few drops to your favorite conditioner to promote hair growth. Jojoba is hypoallergenic and will not harm your hair or scalp. Aloe vera is another product used by Native American Indians to promote hair growth and is also an excellent moisturizer for your hair.
- Mix 1/4 cup of wheat germ, 1/4 cup of aloe vera and 1/4 cup of coconut milk and use this product as a natural shampoo. Aloe vera can be purchased at drugstores and herb shops and can also be applied directly to the scalp as it will open pores on the scalp that may have previously been blocked and will allow the hair follicles to grow. The American Indians also used and continue to use several kinds of oils to promote hair growth such as emu oil, rosemary oil, and mustard oil.

Call your doctor to determine if you have hair loss
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
A careful medical history and examination of the hair and scalp are usually enough to diagnose the cause of your hair loss.
Your doctor will ask detailed questions such as:
♦ Are you losing hair only from your scalp or from other parts of your body as well?
♦ Is there a pattern to the hair loss, like a receding hairline or thinning or bald areas on the crown, or is the hair loss throughout your head?
♦ Have you had a recent illness or high fever?
♦ Do you dye your hair?
♦ Do you blow dry your hair? How often?
♦ How often do you shampoo your hair?
♦ What kind of shampoo, hair spray, gel, or other product do you put on your hair?
♦ Have you been under unusual stress lately?
♦ Do you have nervous habits that include hair pulling or scalp rubbing?
♦ Do you have any other symptoms like itching, flaking, or redness of your scalp?
♦ What medications do you take, including over-the-counter drugs?
♦ Tests that may be performed (but are rarely needed) include:
♦ Blood tests to rule out disease
♦ Microscopic examination of a plucked hair
♦ Skin biopsy
