Novuhair Nature's Answer to Baldness

 Alopecia Areata : More than just common hair loss


 Society considers hair to be an important part of how you look, how you style and wear it affects one's personality. There is a social stigma attached if you are balding, or starting to lose your hair. Hair loss can affect your sensuality and how you perceive yourself. There are usually emotional trials when it happens especially if you are young or at a vulnerable time in your life.
Both emotional and physical stress (such as a serious illness or recovery from surgery) have been associated with hair loss.  Stress induces hormonal changes are also responsible for the hair loss, since hair loss is a known consequence of other hormonal changes due to pregnancy, thyroid problems, or even from taking oral contraceptives. Alopecia areata is a very common, coin-shaped temporary hair loss patch that usually resolves on its own. “A disease with unknown causes is very difficult to treat. This is the case with alopecia areata,” said Dr. Rica Mallari of the Philippine Dermatological Society.

Prevention includes good hair hygiene, regular shampooing, and good nutrition. Speaking of shampoos and hair products there is an all natural products available in the market today, and that is Novuhair. Dubbed as nature’s answer to hair loss, Novuhair is made from all-natural ingredients, including moringa oleifera, panax ginseng, virgin coconut oil, as well as the essential oils of rosemary, peppermint and lavender. Collectively these ingredients help improve blood circulation and increase nutrient flow to the scalp.





Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder where the immune cells of the body go against the hair follicles making the hair strands weak at the base and easy to pluck. It is characterized by bald patches on the scalp that may join together and eventually render an individual hairless. Alopecia areata and may also attack other hairy parts of the body such as the eyebrows and pubic area.
Alopecia has many types, among them are pattern hair loss or common baldness; telogen effluvium or temporary hair shedding; and alopecia areata which is considered the hardest to treat.


“The disease has a genetic predilection, meaning there are more chances of getting it if there is a family member affected. It is however, not infectious as no organisms are involved. Though inconclusive, extreme stress is said to trigger the condition in genetically susceptible individuals,” added Mallari.

“There are a number of treatments and products for different types of alopecia depending on the case. It is important that the affected individual seeks help from an expert, preferably from a dermatologist of the Philippine Dermatological Society so that the condition can be evaluated and proper advice can be given,” said Mallari.


Novuhair contains an all natural products consists of the following that is beneficial to one's hair.
Moringa oleifera or malunggay is one ingredient that helps restore the skin’s condition and prevent falling hair. Sweet almond oil, another ingredient, is a moisture-rich oil that contains vitamins A, B1, B6 and E, as well as minerals such as magnesium and iron. Scientifically known as prunus amygdalus, sweet almond oil easily penetrates the hair shaft and follicles, relieving hair dryness and itching and providing nourishment to the hair to promote hair growth.

Lavender helps relieve itching, and like rosemary, another ingredient, it contains properties that help combat dandruff and disinfects the scalp. Lemongrass helps clean the scalp’s pores, while peppermint is known to slow the growth of bacteria and fungi, aside from having a relaxing effect on the muscles.
