Battling Major Hair Loss? The Natural Alopecia Steps That Helped Her Regrow Hair

Nico Jordan’s Journey: Natural Strategies for Hair Loss and Alopecia
Hair loss and alopecia can feel isolating, but our recent Good Living Now podcast episode with Nico Jordan proves you’re not alone—and there are holistic steps you can take. In this conversation, Nico shares her personal story of dealing with significant hair shedding, the doctor’s diagnosis, and the natural approaches that helped her regain healthier, fuller hair. Below are the key takeaways and how you can apply her insights to your own wellness journey.

Recognizing the Signs and Seeking Support
Nico first noticed excessive hair loss in 2017–2018, when long strands began falling out in the shower. After years of attempting home remedies—aloe gel, fenugreek oil, onion-infused treatments—she finally pursued a medical evaluation. In 2020, a scalp biopsy confirmed alopecia. Though the diagnosis felt overwhelming, it also marked a turning point. Nico knew she needed a multifaceted plan: one that combined nutrition, lifestyle tweaks, and targeted hair care.

Embracing Plant-Based and Alkaline Nutrition
One of Nico’s most impactful decisions was to transition fully into a plant-based, alkaline-focused diet. Guided by a friend’s experience, she shifted from a standard vegan approach to a raw, alkaline regimen. Within 30 days of eating alkaline, raw meals and incorporating nutrient-rich foods—such as chickpea flour, leafy greens, and fresh fruits—Nico saw her hair feel noticeably fuller. She also completed a 40-day juice cleanse (watermelon for breaking the fast, with a couple of olives to satisfy her salt cravings), which left her skin glowing and her scalp refreshed. While individual results vary, her story highlights how nutrient-dense, whole foods can support hair strength, skin health, and overall vitality.

Targeted Hair Care and Gut Health
Beyond diet, Nico uses a combination of sea moss and moringa in her daily smoothies to nourish from within. For topical care, she applies Batana oil (a lightweight, nutrient-dense oil) and occasionally a hint of castor oil to maintain moisture without overloading her follicles. Rather than frequent washing, she opts for gentle apple cider vinegar rinses to cleanse her scalp without stripping natural oils. Most importantly, Nico emphasizes gut health—encouraging anyone experiencing hair thinning to begin by optimizing their digestion and microbiome, which can have a direct impact on hair follicles.

Realistic Routines and Self-Compassion
​Nico’s journey underscores that healing takes time and consistency. She tracks her progress with weekly measurements and photos, celebrating every small improvement. Exercise (weight training for bone health and daily steps) and stress management (breathing exercises, adequate sleep) also play a role in her balanced routine. Above all, she practices self-compassion—acknowledging that occasional treats or social gatherings might introduce minor setbacks, but tackling them quickly keeps her on track.
