100% Pure highly concentrated Magnesium oil can play an important role in slowing down, stopping and even reversing mild to moderate age-related hair loss. Every cell in the human body requires magnesium to make over 300 enzymes, most of them related to the production and storage of energy. The cells lining the hair follicles are no exception, but because they are not served by major blood vessels, they don't always get their share of the body's magnesium supply.
There is no simple rule that says if you get enough magnesium, your hair grows and doesn't fall out, and if you don't get enough magnesium, your hair stops growing and falls out. The problem with your hair is a little more complex than that.
In the hair follicles, it is the ratio of magnesium to calcium that is key. If your hair follicles receive enough magnesium but too much calcium, or a normal amount of calcium and too little magnesium, the follicle does not generate hair on schedule. The hair on your scalp goes through three phases of its life cycle: anagen, when it is growing, which is about 90% of the time, telegen, when it is resting, which is about 8% of the time, and catagen, when it falls out, which is about 2% of the time.
The complete life cycle of a hair on your scalp is 3 to 4 years. It can take between 3 and 4 years for you to see the results of excess calcium (either from diet or from washing your hair in hard water) or deficient magnesium, at least on your scalp. And to be honest about it, while magnesium oil treatment of your scalp is something you really ought to do, visible results will be very gradual.
Magnesium Will Tell You It Is Working in Your Eyebrows First
Your eyebrows, however, grow a lot faster, completing their life cycle in just 3 to 4 months. If you use magnesium oil on your eyebrows for six months, you have good reason to believe that you can see results of magnesium oil treatment on your scalp over a year or two.
Think of magnesium oil as a kind of fertilizer for healthy hair. Just as your lawn needs fertilizer throughout its growing season, your hair needs magnesium oil as long as it is growing. It takes a while for a sick lawn to look healthy, even when you are doing all the right things. Likewise, it takes a while for magnesium oil to play its role in revitalizing your hair even though you need to use it several times a week.
What About Using Magnesium Oil If I Am Already Bald?
Alopecia is a serious baldness condition that can come on very suddenly, sometimes in just a few days (because of hormonal changes, or perhaps because of stress), affecting the hair of the scalp and elsewhere on the body. Or normal baldness comes on over decades, as is usually the case with male pattern baldness. By the time you are slick bald on part or all of your scalp, there is often not a lot you can do, but there are reasons you may want to try magnesium oil anyway.
The skin of your scalp still needs magnesium and still is last in line to get its share. Using magnesium oil after you shampoo can restore health to the scalp and prevent problems like dandruff (which can continue even after someone is bald), dull skin, oily skin, and skin outbreaks. It will probably slow down hair loss, but it won't bring back hair that has been in a velour, peach fuzz state for many years.
Magnesium Oil is used to nourish tissues, including the scalp.
Magnesium Oil for Gray Hair
There is not much doubt that gray hair is usually magnesium deficient, but does that mean that using magnesium will bring its natural color back? Actually, the answer is yes. But because hair is very slow-growing, it can take a while. Results usually take about two years.
Gray hair, although it's not a dye, and the effects won't be visible until the hair renews itself, after a period of 6 to 12 months.
Prevention, of course, is better than cure. Using just a dab of magnesium oil on your hair every time you shampoo, will prevent graying, unless you have an incident involving overwhelming stress, like a heart attack or developing diabetes.
Some people who have sensitive skin report a little burning or stinging when they use magnesium oil. That isn't because there is anything in the oil that actually burns the skin or scalp. That is because it is highly concentrated salt water. The solution is simple. Just dilute the magnesium oil solution with water. Because magnesium oil is really a concentrated water solution, it is completely soluble in water, although you could also add it to a conditioner to dilute the solution.
