Can Seaweed be a Treatment for Thinning Hair?

Just about when you thought you’ve heard of every thinning hair treatment…up pops another idea! Of course some ideas are better than others and some new products work better than others, but we are obsessed with maintaining our youthful looks. Since our hair is one of the most prominent features it figures that we would research every natural hair loss treatment out there.

New on the scene touting cell-renewal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are a plethora of skin, nail and hair loss treatments. Green, blue and brown algae from as far away as the Dead Sea, Oregon’s Klamath Lake and Lagoons in Polynesia team up with kelp and seawater rich in minerals to form the basis for beauty products touting the sea’s healing powers. One beauty company even has named itself after where these products come from…but skin products are just a part of their repertoire. The latest sea derived products are targeting women’s hair and claim to have the best female hair loss treatment.

We have long known (or hoped) that taking fish oil is good for blood pressure, but now salmon are giving up salmon-egg enzyme which dissolves dead skin cells without harming living cells. Baby salmon emit this enzyme during hatching to dissolve their egg sacks. Caviar extract is also used as another natural hair treatment loss treatment as it is supposed to add moisture, shine and improve the hair shaft from the inside out. These magic elixirs can either be applied to skin (scalp) or taken orally. I just wonder how one does not smell like the sea or burp up fish oil!

The science seems to make sense.

Algae does contain alguronic acid which is an anti-ager, and mineral-dense seawater heals with its plumping yet calming powers. Protein rich marine oils (salmon, caviar) can actually speed growth of cells. However, I suggest we drink algae rich juices from our local health stores or juice bars, take our fish oil capsules AND add a laser hair therapy treatment if we want to boost our hair’s strength, body and shine. Juices are at our local super market now and supplements can be found there too…but where can we find the latest in laser hair restoration? Well, it’s as easy as the internet. The latest laser hair brush uses cold laser waves to improve blood flow which in turn hastens hair growth. This light method does no harm to hair that is already in place, and it does not dry out or inflame skin cells. Used along with a non sudsing shampoo which will keep hair follicles clean and clear, increased blood stimulation strengthens and thickens the hair shaft. This translates to a thicker, shinier, fuller head of hair!

The top company which sells a laser hair brush for hair loss is Nutreve. They have perfected the science of correct wavelength, a comfortable and easy to use product, and the maximum amount of pure therapy lasers (not LEDs) in a hand-held device. Speaking of hand-held though…they also offer a stand that allows us busy folks to multi-task and use their product hands-free! How clever….Try it and forget smelling like a salmon…(although you may want to try the algae products on your face!)
