New remedies pop up online constantly, and most of them fade just as fast once people realize they don’t actually do anything. I try to steer clients toward the remedies with real staying power, the ones that have earned trust across generations or actual research, rather than whatever’s trending this month.
Here are the remedies I actually stand behind.
Scalp Massage as the Most Reliable Remedy
Free, zero-risk, and genuinely effective for circulation. If you only trust one remedy on this list, this is the one.
Rosemary as the Best-Researched Natural Option
Rosemary, in both oil and water form, has more supporting evidence behind it than most natural remedies on the market.
Protein and Iron Correction Through Bloodwork
The most underrated remedy is simply correcting a nutritional deficiency, which requires bloodwork rather than a bottle from a shelf.
Silk and Satin Protection as a Structural Remedy
Preventing nightly friction damage is a remedy in its own right, even though it doesn’t involve applying anything to the scalp.
Regular Trims to Stop Length Loss
Preventing split ends from traveling up the shaft is technically a retention remedy, but it has an outsized effect on visible length over time.
Skepticism as Your Best Filter
The best remedy might be a habit of skepticism itself, questioning viral claims before spending money or time on something with no real backing.
