Moreover, there is a long felt need in the art for a hair and scalp treatment solution that prevents hair from becoming damaged due to over processing of the same, and that stimulates hair growth. Additionally, there is a long felt need in the art for a hair and scalp treatment solution that is all natural, and free of harsh chemicals and parabens. Finally, there is a long felt need in the art for a hair and scalp treatment solution that is inexpensive to manufacture, and that is cost-effective and affordable to treat hair loss, damaged hair and related conditions.

[0027] The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, is a novel hair and scalp treatment solution comprised of an aloe vera gel, turmeric root, ginger root, petroleum jelly, grape seed oil, coconut oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, grave sea oil and a vanilla fragrance oil. The solution may further comprised a tint or natural color added thereto such as to form an amber, tan or cream colored mixture that stimulates hair growth and reduces alopecia. The hair and scalp treatment solution of the present invention preferably has a specific gravity ranging between 1.2 and 1.6 g/ml, and a viscosity ranging from between 4,000 and 7,000 cps.

[0028] Referring initially to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a diagrammatic representation of one potential embodiment of the ingredients of the hair and scalp treatment solution 100 of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture. More specifically, the hair and scalp treatment solution 100 of the present invention is comprised of all natural ingredients which are derived from naturally occurring sources. All the ingredients give a unique quality and increased effectiveness of the hair and scalp treatment solution 100, thereby stimulating hair growth, reducing alopecia, and strengthening and conditioning hair.

[0029] More specifically, the aloe vera gel 101 conditions and improves damaged and dry hair, promotes hair growth, prevents itching of the scalp, reduces dandruff and overall conditions the scalp and hair of the individual. The turmeric root 102 revitalizes the scalp and also conditions the individual's hair and scalp, and the addition of ginger root 103 stimulates the individual's scalp for increased blood flow, which in turn helps promote hair regrowth. The inclusion of petroleum jelly 104 helps to reduce and/or prevent dryness of the individual's scalp, and provides a relative greasy texture to the solution 100, which prevents trans epidermal water loss.

[0030] The inclusion of the grape seed oil 105 acts as a natural dandruff treatment, and the coconut oil 106 has vitamins and essential fatty acids that nourish the scalp and helps to remove sebum build-up from the individual's hair follicles. The coconut oil 106 also helps to prevent protein loss from the hair and the scalp, and the peppermint oil 107 increases the number of follicles, the follicle depth, and overall hair growth, and also acts as a vasodilator to improve blood flow to the scalp. The inclusion of the rosemary oil 108 promotes nerve growth, improves circulation, and prevents dry or itchy scalp, while the vanilla fragrance oil 109 has antibacterial properties to help in treatment of the scalp. Grave sea oil 110 is also preferably included.

[0031] The essential oils used as ingredients in the hair and scalp treatment solution 100 are preferably extracted from plants, and are biologically able to promote hair growth. The essential oils are also excellent for cleansing, nourishing, and strengthening the hair follicles and shafts. Notwithstanding the forgoing, other essential oils that may help aid with the relaxation of the scalp and the individual include, but are not limited to lavender, rose, pumpkin, jojoba, eucalyptus, frankincense, cinnamon leaf, lime, cedarwood and lemongrass. These essential oils may be added in an amount of 0.5% to about 3% by weight depending on the essential oil and its potency. The formulation may also include vitamin supplements such as, but not limited to, omega 3 and 6, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, B-5 and biotin, which may be added to increase the growing phase of the hair. Further, the carrier oils included in the formulation, such as coconut, rosemary, and peppermint, help to dilute the essential oils. Nonetheless, other carrier oils, such as sunflower, castor and mineral oil may also be used.

[0032] The hair and scalp treatment solution 100 of the present invention can strengthen hair, prevent hair loss, promote hair growth and provide relief to individuals from undesirable conditions, such as severe dryness, bumps, and scabs on the scalp. Table 1 discloses one potential embodiment of a hair and scalp treatment solution 100 comprised of a plurality of different ingredients in varying quantities in order to achieve the above stated objectives.
