There are numerous creams, surgeries, transplant methods, and shampoos available on the market to stop hair loss. These products greatly fluctuate in effectiveness, price, availability, and application. The condition of baldness or male hair loss is so common that the market accommodates a plethora of solutions. That being said, each solution yields different results on different buyers--one application might work to stop hair loss for one user and fail in accomplishing the same feat for other users. Male hair loss affects nearly 50% of men over the age of 60, but the condition affects each man differently. Some cases of baldness or hair loss are experienced gradually, while others occur rapidly. Regardless of situation, there are alternative methods to quell male hair loss. An abundance of natural home-remedies are available to stop hair loss for those who have tried the products on the market to no avail.

A primary cause for male hair loss is actually nutrition. Inadequate consumption of necessary minerals and vitamins yields a deficiency of folic acid. This lack of nutrients creates a weak framework for the hair growth cycle to work on; ultimately it slows down and hair grows at a slow and weak pace. Other causes for male hair loss include: age, genetics, hormonal changes, stress, poor circulation to the scalp, and an excess of dandruff.

To stop hair loss the product or application in question must effectively fight the agents that are slowing the hair growth cycle down. Prepared by boiling dry pieces of amla (coconut oil), amla oil is considered the most effective home remedy used to quell male hair loss. Amla oil is a simple remedy to stop hair loss; it possesses a mixture of fresh amla juice and lime juice. When used as a shampoo the amla oil is thought to stimulate hair growth, while effectively strengthening the hair growth cycle to stop hair loss. To further simplify this process, daily application of coconut oil, mixed with lime juice will prevent hair loss. An application of green coriander leaves is also beneficial to prevent male hair loss. Furthermore, coconut milk is thought to stimulate follicles and increase the rate at which hair grows.
