"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"………. But did you know that apple can help in hair growth too? Research proves that apple consumption appears to promote hair growth.

According to Japanese researchers, apple polyphenols or procyanidin B-2; a substance found in apples is highly effective in hair regrowth. Tests conducted on humans especially on male baldness have given positive results proving that procyanidin B-2 is the key to a head full of hair. procyanidin B-2 is available in capsule and liquid form.

procyanidin B-2 capsules may not be easily available in India but it surely is present in the apple. So start having an apple a day and keep the baldness away. Remember that apple skin, especially baby green apples skin; is a good source of procyanidin and a natural way of getting procyanidin into your system to promote hair growth.

If eating is not so appealing or apples are not available, then apple cider vinegar too can be used to promote luxurious hair. The Lack of potassium results into hair losses. Apple cider vinegar is loaded with potassium.

It has been proved that Apple Cider Vinegar when taken internally can be the best beauty aid you ever need. Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural remedy that helps maintain your scalp and skin Ph balance. It stimulates hair follicles to encourage the growth of healthier hair. Make sure you incorporate apple cider vinegar into your body-care regimen and you’ll soon see the benefits.

Some of the ways apple cider vinegar can be taken are:

Start each day by drinking a glass of water with 4 teaspoons each of apple cider vinegar and honey. One can also take one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water with or in between meals. If this taste is not palatable, then one can use apple juice. Mixing it with grape juice will make it taste like wine. One can also add some lime- juice to ACV and water. Apart from aiding in hair growth, this would also aid in weight loss.

Use a cup in your bath as the final hair rinse. This results in much shinier hair and don’t worry about the smell, it fades off in sometime. Use approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar diluted with about 1/2 cup water. Shampoo and rinse first and then pour on the vinegar. Let it sit about a minute and then rinse out the vinegar and then rinse very well. When used once a week, it results in thick, healthy, shiny hair.

Apart from aiding in hair care, drinking ACV would also aid in weight loss. Now that’s like killing two birds with one stone!!!!

No wonder many call apple cider vinegar as the "Wonder Drug".

There are a number of ways in which products for hair regrowth are formulated – sprays, tablets, gels and shampoos. Often the latter come as part of a complete package which also includes other products such as conditioners. One such product is Hair Renew which claims that it rids the scalp of deposits which clog hair follicles. Another is Dermenodex Scalp Cleansing Shampoo. It seems that there are lot of satisfied customers. But the usual reason for hair loss is not blocked follicles, or a dirty scalp, but the fact that the follicles have shrunk due to hormonal action, and it is this that must be tackled.

Shampoos can be considered both as cosmetics and as drugs. The definition will depend upon the product's intended use. If a product is marketed to improve your appearance, it is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission, whose task is to enforce consumer protection laws. However, if a manufacturer claims that their product can re-grow hair, it should be considered a drug. While there is no approval process for cosmetics, the FDA has a rigorous drug approval process. Drugs must be rigorously scientifically tested and approved. All this makes manufacturers very careful in their claims. They often use language in an ambiguous way so that the consumer, you in this case, can sometimes be fooled into thinking they are making claims, when they aren’t. ‘Improving the appearance of your hair’ for instance does not necessarily imply that you will grow hair that has been lost.

For many women hair loss comes when they stop taking the birth control pill or a few months after the end of a pregnancy. In both these cases the situation will eventually put itself right as the body regains its natural hormonal balance, and while a shampoo such as hair Renew may make you feel good, actually regrowing hair is a difficult task. For those whose hair loss is hereditary and who suffer loss after the menopause there is less likelihood of real improvement. However one hair regrowth shampoo for women called ‘Hair Renew’ does contain Saw Palmetto, a well known hair restoring herbal product. Saw Palmetto hair treatment is available in a number of forms, so if you choose to use shampoos that contain it, it should perhaps be as part of a bigger package. It has no known side effects, except that in a very few cases people may experience slight stomach upset. It works by inhibiting the action of DHT, the hormone that causes shrinkage and eventual death of hair follicles.

Occasionally hair loss is due to nutritional problems and although there are shampoos out there, such as Nourkin, that will help by providing minerals that your body is short of, it is best to tackle the situation form a nutrition point of view and check your diet.

Some shampoos advertised as being for hair loss are in fact volumisers i.e. they don’t grow more hair, but they do ensure that you have the appearance of more. One such is Pregaine, to be used in conjunction with Regaine for Women. If you have a condition which will either right itself in time or that is treatable, e.g. mild thyroid deficiency, products such as Pregaine may be of help.

So it seems that though there are lots of hair regrowth shampoos for women out there, they are likely, at best, to only work as part of a wider programme of treatment. But it seems they will at least give you healthy, clean and shiny hair.
