Losing hair can be a stressful and frustrating experience. We know there’s a lot of information out there on this very hot topic and knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Let us help you cut the confusion with our clinically proven, step-by-step guide to reverse hair loss naturally.
1
Optimize Your Nutrition
Eating a nutrient-dense diet can help support hair growth. Focus on consuming plenty of protein, healthy fats, fruits and vegetables rich in biotin, zinc, iron, vitamin C and vitamin E. This will be easy if you enjoy healthfully raised animal protein and organic citrus, berries and leafy green vegetables.
We know that even with the best of intentions it can be difficult to consume adequate quantities of these foods every day. That’s why we recommend taking targeted supplements for hair growth. These are our favorites:
Collagen for Hair Growth
Collagen is an essential protein for healthy hair, skin, and nails. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to thinning hair and other signs of aging. It’s easy to supplement with collagen as it’s everywhere nowadays. However quality and absorption is everything. In fact, many collagen brands have recently been called out for glyphosate contamination!
We love MetaPWR Advantage because it’s sourced in Europe, where glyphosate containing sprays are illegal. Additionally, MetaPWR Advantage’s collagen is from Tilapia, a fish that is not exposed to glyphosate at all. Additionally MetaPWR Advantage is easily absorbed by the gut because the collagen is in tripeptide form. This means that the collagen is already broken down in its differentiated states, ensuring more collagen is available for actual hair growth and not going to get stuck in the digestive system like most conventional collagen powders. Proper and potent collagen supplementation for hair growth can lead to thicker, healthier hair over time.
MetaPWR Advantage also contains Hyaluronic acid which hydrates hair follicles and encourages hair growth. The powder also touts liposomal vitamin C, which in itself supports healthy collagen production and can help to prevent hair breakage. These ingredients, combined with the collagen, all work together to promote healthy, strong hair growth and reverse hair loss over time.
Vitamins + Minerals as Hair Building Blocks
To reverse hair loss naturally you will also want to include a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement like MicroPlex VMz. MicroPlex VMz is loaded with biotin, magnesium, zinc and additional minerals to nourish hair and help it faster and stronger. Think of the VMz like the building blocks for hair growth. Take 2, twice daily and pair it with the MetaPWR Advantage for maximal results.

Use Natural Hair Products
Many commercial hair products contain harsh chemicals that can damage hair and even contribute to hair loss. Instead, opt for natural hair products made with gentle, nourishing ingredients. When people ask for recommendations on hair growth products, it’s difficult for me to suggest just one brand because different people respond better to different products. However, I’m currently rotating between my top two choices, both of which have received positive feedback from my patients who are also using them.
Vegamor Hair Care
I’m currently using Vegamor and absolutely loving the results. My thin hair is experiencing more growth and enhanced texture. I use the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Dry Shampoo between washings.
doTERRA Hair Care
doTERRA’s shampoo and conditioner bars are a great natural hair care option that can help promote healthy hair growth and reverse hair loss. These bars contain gentle, nourishing ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals that can damage hair and contribute to hair loss.
In addition to being gentle on the hair and scalp, doTERRA’s shampoo and conditioner bars also contain essential oils and other natural ingredients that can help support hair growth.

Make Your Own Hair Growth Serum
You can further accentuate your hair growth efforts by layering in a natural hair growth serum. Evan saw amazing results with this exact recipe a few years ago when he started to develop a bald spot. He is happy to report that his hair has grown back in and he continues to stave off that genetic tendency!
We made a whole YouTube video about the process but have made a small change to the recipe as CT Minerals is now a discontinued item. We’ve had so many people message us to share their positive results using this serum recipe, without the CT Minerals. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Identify the Root Cause
Hair loss can happen because of hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, stress, mold or even parasites. To effectively reverse hair loss, it’s important to identify and address the underlying cause. Consider consulting with a functional medicine practitioner to get to the root of your hair loss.
