The cost of the various herbal remedies varies but they do seem to stay in the same price range. A good comparison would be organic food in the grocery store. While ultimately better for you health-wise, it is a bit pricier than processed food.

The same goes for natural hair growth products versus chemical alternatives. The price difference is not much, but it’s enough to make you compare and contrast herbs and synthetic materials. Prices for vitamins and herbs can range anywhere from $10 to $100 or more, depending on what you are using. One popular product, Rogaine, on the other hand, can cost from $30 to $60 depending on how many months you would like the product supplied for you. Yet another option, Bosley, is much more expensive than the first two. Bosley is not something you can take or apply; rather it is a hair restoration procedure. Prices are not posted on the website because it is based on how many grafts each client needs but they do offer a $250 off coupon on their website if that gives you an idea of how much it would cost.While they do offer financing, some budgets just don’t allow that sort of expense. So, not only do you have many options to consider but you also need to figure out what your budget is to help you narrow it down appropriately.

While natural hair re-growth products are hard to find, lists of herbs and vitamins are abundant on the Internet.

The most common herbs used for hair growth are rosemary, mallow roots, artichoke leaves, catnip and parsley seeds, nettle, henna and coconut oil. Each of these herbs has special application instructions; some are massaged into the scalp, some are rinsed and some left on.

The universal vitamin in hair loss treatment seems to be vitamin B, although doctors can’t seem to figure out why. They do advise to consult with your family physician before taking it because prolonged and large amounts can be toxic. Adding a multi-vitamin to your diet is also recommended not only for the benefits of hair growth but also for regulation and to promote well-being.

Two other suggestions for promoting hair growth are diet alterations and massage.

Many types of food are suggested for re-growing hair follicles. Red meat, dried fruit, broccoli and other protein-rich foods help increase your iron levels and encourage regeneration. Eliminating pesticides and processed foods all together and switching to organic foods is a great way to ‘jump-start’ your health and increase how fast your body responds to its needs.

Another great alternative to using chemicals to grow hair is massage! Yes, you finally have an excuse to go get a massage (as if everyday stress weren’t enough of a reason already). Scalp massage stimulates the hair follicles and promotes growth by increasing the blood flow and boosting the strength of the roots.

All of these options can be daunting when it comes to avoiding chemicals to grow your hair back but if you talk to a naturopath or another medical professional, you can get some help in choosing what the right combination is for you. Going the natural route may involve more research and time on your behalf, but once you get the right mix, you will begin to see progress.
