How to naturally Stimulate Hair Regrowth after Pregnancy

Hair loss is a problem for many men. But many of us women loose hair too. To lose hair during pregnancy is nothing uncommon.

Experts say that it is normal and the hair grows back. My daughter in now 16 months old and my new hair is about 2 inches long.

But what if you have lost a lot of hair and don’t feel like waiting year before it is back to full length?

Here are some natural ways to stimulate hair regrowth: 

• Increase blood circulation in you scalp with a daily scalp massage and vitamin B.

• Zinc stimulates hair growth. You need about 50 ml a day.

I prefer getting my vitamins from my food instead of supplements. If you eat 5 portions of fresh fruits and vegetables a day you get enough vitamin B and zinc plus also vitamin C and iron which are also important for a healthy hair.

But if you really feel that you want to boost your vitamin/mineral intake a very good and inexpensive way is to eat sprouts. Use them in salads, on bread, on cereal or just as snack. The seeds are very cheap and all you need to sprout them is a colander.

• Rye and sunflower sprouts are especially good for your vitamin B intake.

• Pumpkin sprouts are great if you need extra zinc.
