Brilio.net - Almost everyone can experience bald front hair. Usually, this condition of bald front hair is experienced by many men, as they get older. However, it cannot be denied that the problem of frontal baldness can also occur in women.
For men, front bald hair generally occurs after puberty. They experience front hair baldness when they reach the age of 30 years and over. When you reach that age, your hairline slowly begins to shift and without you realizing it, baldness reaches almost half of your head.
Apart from being caused by increasing age, front bald hair can also occur due to hormonal changes. Hormonal changes, especially in men, can cause hair thinning and baldness in the front. The hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can cause hair follicles to become smaller and eventually stop producing new hair.
Excessive stress can also cause various health problems, including hair loss. When stressed, the body releases certain hormones that can damage hair follicles. To overcome this, you can manage stress, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid excessive hair care. Apart from that, balance it with appropriate hair care such as applying hair oil.
You can even make your own hair oil by using one spice, namely star anise or star anise. Just like what YouTuber @HairTransformation did. In uploading a video on his YouTube channel, he uses star anise combined with coconut oil, castor oil and aloe vera.
Star anise or clove flowers are flowers that are closely associated with traditional medicinal properties. Although better known as a kitchen spice, essential oil extracted from star anise has several benefits that have long been recognized in hair care, including treating baldness . Star anise essential oil has properties that stimulate new hair growth. So it can help increase strength and thickness, as well as speed up the regeneration process of hair cells.
Star anise has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce inflammation on the scalp. This is important because inflammation can cause damage to hair follicles and cause hair loss.
Coconut oil has long been used in hair care because of its nutritional content and moisturizing properties. This natural ingredient is claimed to be able to moisturize the scalp and keep hair follicles healthy. Massage with coconut oil can increase blood circulation to hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth. The fatty acids in coconut oil help strengthen hair roots and prevent hair loss.
Castor oil, especially black castor oil, has been shown to be effective in stimulating hair growth. Castor oil is rich in vitamin E, protein, and minerals such as iron and selenium, which are important for healthy hair and scalp. The antioxidant content in castor oil helps fight free radicals which can damage hair follicles and cause hair loss.
Then aloe vera or aloe vera is a natural ingredient known for its various benefits for healthy skin and hair. Aloe vera gel contains important enzymes and nutrients that help nourish the scalp and stimulate new hair growth. The proteolytic content in aloe vera helps clean the scalp pores from sebum and dirt, thereby preventing baldness.
