Losing more hair that usual can result from many issues, such as stress, lack of sleep and hormonal changes. But if you are looking for natural ways to speed up hair growth and prevent the remaining hair from falling out, here are my two latest gems: brandy mask and biotin found in eggs.

This mask calls for use of French cognac, but I believe any cheap store-bought brandy (not bourbon) would suffice, as long as you do not drink the acrid liquid yourself. However, a word of caution: very cheap brandy may be too sour and can curdle the egg yolks, so it may be wise to buy the smallest amount possible of a better quality alcohol.

This mask works by stimulating blood flow to the hair roots. Since cognac contains alcohol, it can dry out hair, so it is also suitable for oily hair. Olive oil can offset the drying action of cognac. Ideally, you should use organic olive oil and free-range eggs. Read more of this post
