Feed Your Follicles: Nature’s Top Remedies for Hair Growth
Whether it’s a receding hairline, thinning patches, or just lackluster strands, hair concerns are something almost everyone deals with at some point. The good news? Nature might already have the answers—supported by science.
In this blog, we’ll explore seven powerful, research-backed ingredients that support healthier, fuller hair, from antioxidant-rich berries to time-tested herbal remedies.
Blackberry
Blackberries are rich in anthocyanins, natural antioxidants that protect your hair follicles from oxidative stress, which is one of the root causes of weakened strands and premature aging. It’s also high in vitamin C, which boosts collagen production to strengthen the scalp and hair strands, while improving iron absorption for better follicle function.
A 2023 study confirmed blackberry extract’s strong free-radical scavenging abilities, helping reduce inflammation and promote a healthy scalp environment, that is crucial for active hair growth.
Ginseng
Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, ginseng has made its way into modern haircare for a reason. Its bioactive compounds, especially ginsenosides, stimulate the dermal papilla cells at the base of your hair follicles, encouraging growth and reducing shedding. Ginseng also supports dermal papilla cell activity, which plays an important role in hair regeneration. By reducing inflammation and protecting against hormone-related hair loss, ginseng helps create the ideal conditions for thicker, healthier hair.
One study found ginseng metabolites promote hair regeneration by supporting hair cycling and cell proliferation.
Pumpkin Seeds Extract
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone linked to pattern hair loss. Pumpkin seed extract may naturally block DHT production thanks to its 5α-reductase inhibiting properties.
In a clinical trial, participants taking pumpkin seed extract experienced a significant increase in hair count and thickness over 24 weeks.
Biotin–vitamin B7
Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, has become a household name in hair supplements. While biotin deficiency is rare, supplementing it has shown benefits for people with brittle nails or thinning hair, especially those with underlying issues.
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a key role in supporting the structure of keratin, the protein that makes up your hair, skin, and nails. While it's often promoted in shampoos and serums, biotin actually works best from the inside out, helping your body convert nutrients into energy and synthesizing the proteins essential for strong, healthy strands.
He Shou Wu
He Shou Wu, also known as Polygonum multiflorum, is a revered herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its ability to darken gray hair, stimulate hair growth, and nourish the liver and kidneys (which TCM links to hair vitality).
A 2020 study showed that He Shou Wu extracts help prolong the hair growth phase (anagen) and stimulate dermal papilla cells, enhancing follicle function.
Ginkgo Biloba
Healthy hair needs healthy circulation. Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow to the scalp, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to each follicle.
It also protects against oxidative stress and may reduce hair follicle cell death, especially under environmental stressors like UV or pollutants.
B Vitamins (B5, B6, B9, B12): Energizing Your Hair Roots
The B-complex family helps power everything from red blood cell formation to amino acid metabolism. These processes are essential for delivering oxygen to your scalp and producing the structural proteins your hair needs.
Low levels of B12 or folate can lead to hair thinning or slow regrowth, so maintaining adequate levels is a must.
