  The benefits of natural herbal remedies are that they are natural, available without a prescription and have few (if any) side effects. Herbal scalp remedies can be purchased from most health food stores or grocery stores; additionally, some commercial herbal remedies can be purchased from the manufacturers that make them. The secret to using herbal remedies is finding the right combination that works for your hair, as not all remedies are effective on all individuals.
  
  

Tender Scalp Remedies

• A tender scalp is generally attributed to clogged hair follicles or bacteria that has built up around the hair follicle. Therefore, herbs that are used for cleansing the scalp, such as an apple cider rinse or massaging the scalp with stinging nettle, horsetail or birch, will clean and disinfect the scalp.
  
  

Hair Loss Remedies

• Herbal remedies for hair loss include licorice extract, apple cider vinegar rinse, and drinking chamomile tea. Additionally, hair loss experts suggest that rosemary, yucca and lavender are good to rub into the scalp to increase hair growth. Other remedies include algae extract, aloe vera and Ginko biloba as hair tonics for hair loss.
  
  

Premixed Remedies

• Additionally, certain commercial shampoos claim to have herbal properties or to be completely organic. For example, Herbs Fuzion Hair Tonic and Brahmi Hair Oil claim to have natural herbal ingredients and to be effective for cleansing the scalp and promoting new hair growth.
