learn Centella

Can a centella (gotu kola) supplement help hair loss from a poor diet? What the evidence says There is no published human trial showing that an oral Centella asiatica (gotu kola) supplement stops hair shedding caused by poor nutrition; the evidence is laboratory work on dermal papilla cells, inflammation and collagen, and community reports mention centella only in topical products.

learn Omega 3

Is the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in your diet feeding your hair problem without you knowing? Nutrition sources describe a lopsided omega-6 to omega-3 intake as pro-inflammatory, but no published human study shows that the dietary ratio changes 5-alpha reductase, scalp DHT or hair loss; the one relevant trial tested a commercial omega-3/6 plus antioxidant supplement in 120 women, not a change in dietary fat ratio.
Can low omega-3 intake after a diet change weaken hair? There is no good evidence that low omega-3 intake causes hair loss or that adding omega-3 restores hair. If hair thinned after a diet change, ask a doctor to check for iron deficiency, low protein or calorie intake, or telogen effluvium.

learn Neem Oil

Oil from the neem tree, used as a pesticide and in traditional remedies. Human evidence for hair or scalp benefits is limited; it can cause skin allergy and is poisonous if swallowed.

learn Aloe vera

Could drinking aloe juice actually help your hair grow back stronger if your diet is lacking? There is no evidence that drinking aloe juice helps hair grow, even if your diet is poor. If you think you have a deficiency, ask a doctor to test and treat it.
