Reverse thinning hair!

-

Are you one of the 30 million women with thinning hair? Korean research finds peppermint oil is better at halting hair loss than minoxidil! After four weeks, women using peppermint oil daily saw a 92% increase in hair growth compared to a 55% increase in women using minoxidil. Mint reportedly fast-forwards the hair growth cycle from its resting phase to its active growing stage after two weeks!

✤ Mint Rx! Mix 2 drops peppermint oil (such as Now Foods Peppermint Oil, $6, Vitaminsho­ppe.com) with 1 Tbs. almond or coconut oil and massage into hair, leaving on for up to 30 minutes before shampooing as usual. Or simply add six drops of peppermint oil to every 1 oz. of your favorite shampoo.
