If you are a person whose father or other relatives have dealt with hair thinning or pattern baldness (also known as Androgenic Alopecia), chances are you have been told there’s nothing that can be done about this common hair loss issue. But many individuals these days are seeking natural hair growth remedies to fight their hair loss issues and more and more home remedies are being proven to fight hair loss. Natural oils have incredible healing properties and many natural hair growth oils are helping men fight off balding and hair loss. So no matter what you’ve heard so far... there is hope!
You may wonder why men seem to deal with so much severe hair loss than women. Although about 40% of women do deal with hair loss in their lifetime (and these remedies can work for them as well) — they tend to be affected much later in life, and more like 70% of men are affected. The reason for this difference is that although there are multiple potential causes for hair loss, the most common in men in androgenic alopecia, a hormone related condition that is mostly hereditary. This is what is responsible for what’s commonly known as “male pattern baldness” where hair thins around the top of the scalp and the hairline recedes.
As men get older and their hormones change, androgen receptors in hair follicles change and become more sensitive. These receptors respond to androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a by-product of testosterone. When the DHT hits the hair follicle, it makes it shrink and makes it difficult for the follicle to keep producing hair. Women may deal with some of this but because men have significantly higher levels of testosterone, they will be much more highly affected.
And on top of the physiological changes, hair loss also tends to be more noticeable in men since they often wear shorter hairstyles, making it nearly impossible to hide their balding. A lot of guys end up falling back on wearing hats day to day since they feel helpless for a better solution.
Since this condition is hereditary, a lot of people think there is nothing they can do to slow or reverse the process. Especially without turning to unhealthy, chemical options like rogaine. But actually, new research and natural products are emerging that show a positive impact on preventing male pattern baldness or simply improving hair growth for men in general.
So whether you are fighting a dreaded receding hairline or simply looking to grow your slow growing hair out long, these remedies may be exactly what you need to make the changes you desire.
So many men are dealing with hair loss, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. But we also understand the desire to keep your hair looking thick and strong for as long as possible!
If you want to start supporting your hair to grow faster or possibly even reactivate hair follicles that have gone to sleep, try a few of these powerful oils and see what kind of results you get! But although oils and topical solutions for hair growth can do you a lot of good, the ideal way to support your body to grow strong healthy hair is to combine these remedies with the right nutrition. Follipur Follipur All Natural Hair Growth Formula is a wonderful supplement that will help you grow your hair and keep it strong and healthy.
Oils for Improving Hair Growth
1. Argan Oil
If you’re familiar with the sweet aroma of Morroccan Argan Oils, maybe you’ve used it for some of its common functions like improving anti-aging or giving a calming or soothing effect on the skin. But Argan also has the ability to help your hair grow and stay strong.
Although research on the effects of this oil is still limited, a convincing animal study showed that topical application of Pure Morroccan Argan Oil increased the number of hair follicles in female mice. The study also showed that Argan Oil might help deepen the depth of hair follicles and thicken the thermal layer.
This research is extremely promising in showing that there are in fact natural remedies that can help us fight hair loss, even in cases where it’s hereditary and sufferers may be feeling helpless.
2. Green Pea Extract
Pisum Sativum (Green Pea) Extract is incredibly powerful and the list of its benefits seems to go on and on and they are also healthy to eat! The reason Grean Peas can be so energizing and healthy is possibly for some of the same reasons that it helps with promoting hair growth. The extract, when applied to skin, creates a strong tingling sensation (and should be diluted in most cases and always kept away from eyes).
Because of this intensity, it helps promote circulation to the area where it is applied, and this can help stimulate hair follicles — keeping them active and stopping them from shutting down when those anagen receptors start causing problems.
Research has shown that a potent Green Pea Extract known as AnaGain can help produce thick, strong hair and promote hair growth and strength. This makes it a very promising remedy for men and women suffering from hair loss or wanting to improve growth. But remember that in all research studies, results were found after consistent use for several weeks, so it may take some time to see results.
3. Peppermint
Peppermint oil is incredibly powerful and the list of its benefits seems to go on and on. One of our favorites is to rub a little bit on the temples and behind the neck for a boost of energy or a mid-workday pick me up.

A Word of Warning
As you dive into your journey of exploring the many amazing uses for oils and their effect on hair health, there’s one thing to keep in mind. Not all oils are created equal. There are many brands on the market that all sell Natural oils but just like any product, some are of much higher quality than others.
When choosing Natural oils, do some research about the brand you choose and find ones that use clean, organic ingredients and good practices. Some brands make what are called “therapeutic grade oils.” If you have any intention of taking Natural oils internally or applying them directly to your skin, it’s best to use these oils. They are more expensive but they are free of chemicals or other potentially harmful substances.
The Missing Piece of the Hair Growth Puzzle
Oils are incredibly powerful and contain some amazing healing properties, but in order to really make lasting change in your hair health — the main work starts with your internal health. In order to get the best results with any of the remedies covered in this article, you need to combine them with healthy lifestyle choices.
That means a combination between a healthy diet, good practices like plenty of sleep and exercise (both of which have a huge impact on how we manage and process stress), and proper supplementation. Ultimately, hair grows from inside our bodies, and our bodies need the strength and nutrients to grow strong, healthy hair. One great way to support your body to grow hair is to take a well-rounded supplement like Follipur Follipur Enhanced Hair Nutrition Formula. This formula contains many of the important building blocks your body needs to grow healthy hair and can also help with things like skin and nail health!
Although hair loss is an incredibly common issue that affects most men at some point in their lives and nothing to be embarrassed about, we know that holding onto healthy hair for as long as possible is a priority for many men. Luckily, more and more research emerges all the time with remedies that can help with hair loss issues and promote growth, even when hereditary androgenic alopecia is the culprit.
Just remember, as always that in order to see lasting results you’ll need to use these remedies with consistency. Each of the studies showed results when participants applied these remedies with consistency often for 4-6 months. Try making Natural oils a part of your daily self-care routine and focus on reducing stress and living a healthy lifestyle and your hair will be looking thicker and stronger than ever!
