I recently noticed that lots of my hair was coming out when I was washing it. I was chatting to my great aunt about my hair loss on the phone and she suggested this treatment. Mix red cayenne pepper with vodka and let it sit for a fortnight. Then strain through muslin or tights and apply to affected areas of the scalp. It's said this stimulates the scalp and encourages hair growth.

I don't think there's a miracle cure for hair loss but Regaine for Women seemed to stop my hair thinning so fast. It costs around £22.95 for 60ml
