Natural care helps — but here’s what it can and can’t do

A quick thought that might save someone some time.

Natural hair care gets two extreme reactions.
Either it’s dismissed as useless, or it’s treated like it can undo genetics on its own. Neither is really accurate.

From what we’ve seen, natural approaches help most with the conditions around the follicle — inflammation, scalp tightness, poor circulation, stress load, nutritional gaps. When those are off, even strong follicles struggle.

Where people get disappointed is expecting oils or supplements to reverse long-term miniaturization. That’s a different mechanism entirely.

The people who tend to do better are the ones who stop chasing “the best thing” and instead follow a clear sequence: calm the scalp first, rebuild consistency, then support growth over time.

For anyone interested in a natural but realistic approach, we’ve documented our full system in a digital guide at Otter Hair Labs.

It breaks regrowth into three simple phases over 90 days — calming triggers, rebuilding the scalp environment, and supporting the biology that allows hair to grow stronger again.
It’s not a miracle cure, just a clear, evidence-informed plan for people who want direction instead of another bottle.

Not for everyone, but useful if you’re tired of trial-and-error.

The  only natural treatment that can help would be Saw Palmetto as it reduces DHT but results are mixed. You could also make an argument for onion juice as it reduces inflammation but evidence is spotty at best.

Sometimes male pattern baldness progression can stop on it's own, my own grandfather rocked a NW3 for 2 decades until he died at 96. I think this happens as every hair has a different degree of resistance to DHT and some will be much more resistant than others.

The truth is if you want the best chance at saving your hair you NEED pharmaceuticals. No ifs no buts.
