Are you experiencing hair loss or dry and brittle hair? TCM dermatologist Shih Cheng-xiu explains that hair loss can be caused by blood deficiency, damp-heat inflammation (from consuming greasy and heavy-flavored foods), or excessive stress; while dry and brittle hair can result from factors like overwork and poor nutrition. Shih provides two tips to naturally care for your hair using common kitchen ingredients. Hair also has a lifecycle - failure to transition from the resting phase to the growth phase can lead to hair loss and thinning. Shih emphasizes that maintaining liver blood for premenopausal women and nourishing kidney Yin for postmenopausal women are crucial for healthy hair growth. He suggests using natural ingredients like eggs, black dates, black sesame, and black soy milk to improve hair quality. Egg whites can be applied to the scalp for conditioning, while egg yolks mixed with water can be used to moisturize the hair for shinier and smoother strands. However, individuals allergic to eggs should not use this method. Regular consumption of five black dates or substitutes like black sesame and black soy milk can also promote dark and lustrous hair growth. These simple and affordable methods can effectively improve hair quality according to TCM principles.
