A woman shared how she reversed the thinning of her hair
Female pattern baldness affects approximately half of women over 70, according to NHS statistics.
Fortunately, a great number of content creators have found success in reversing hair loss using natural methods, and shared the ones that work. Ally Blue recently garnered attention on TikTok after sharing her journey of restoring hair growth around her temples without resorting to surgical interventions.
In a viral social media clip, the content creator revealed her previous struggles with hair loss.
Recommended across social media and backed by science, regularly massaging your scalp and applying rosemary oil increases blood flow to the scalp and results in healthy hair. Nature Spell is a bestselling brand offering a chemical-free rosemary oil. Amazon is offering a bundle with a precision applicator comb, while Holland & Barrett includes the bottle in its 3 for 2 offer.
"My temples were thinning and I was losing so much hair from the top of my hair every time I showered," she disclosed in the comments.

To quell her hair loss, Ally took on a natural hair restoration routine consisting of three main methods.
She performed daily three-minute scalp massages to increase blood flow to the hair.
Laser therapy is applied every other day to "rejuvenate weak follicles on a cellular level".
Red light therapy is deemed highly effective because it irradiates photons into scalp tissue which are in turn absorbed by weak cells, prompting new growth.
Each morning, Ally sprays rosemary water on her roots and allows it to air dry, while also avoiding heat styling and using protective braids at night.
The science behind these natural methods is supported by research.
Scalp massages increase blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles.

A study published in Eplasty in 2016 showed that just four minutes of daily scalp massage significantly boosted the hair growth cycles of subjects.
What's more, WebMD has reported that rosemary application can enhance blood circulation in the scalp and may offer protection against sun damage.
Although research supports the efficacy of these non-surgical solutions, consistency is crucial.
Combining scalp massages, laser therapy and rosemary water may only enhance hair growth if repeated frequently.
