Home Remedies That'll Encourage Hair Growth:
1. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera can be used to moisturize your scalp and will prevent it from
getting dry and itchy, while balancing its pH levels. Apply pure aloe
vera gel directly on the scalp and gently massage it with your fingers
for about 10 minutes. Leave the gel on your scalp for a few hours and
then wash with lukewarm water. Repeat this procedure twice a week for
best results.
2. Hot Oil Massage
A very effective home remedy for hair growth, massaging the head and
scalp with hot oil has several benefits: it can rejuvenate your hair
follicles, improve the blood flow to the scalp, prevent dandruff and
prevent hair loss. You can use either almond, olive, coconut, jojoba,
rosemary or lavender oil - but remember to massage your scalp daily. The
oil should be warm or lukewarm. Leave the oil in your hair for at least
30 minutes, then wash it off. For best results, leave the oil overnight
and wash it in the morning.
3. Onion Juice
You may not know this, but onion juice is one of the oldest remedies for
encouraging hair growth. The sulfur in the onion juice promotes the
creation of collagen proteins and aids in the growth of new hair. Chop a
few red onions (or shallots) into small pieces. Then, squeeze the juice
out of them. Apply the juice to your scalp for 15 minutes and then
rinse off with a mild shampoo. Do this every other day for best results.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar
Is there anything this material can't do? Even when it comes to washing
your scalp, vinegar will help keep it clean and healthy, and prevent
infections (as well as dandruff). A clean and healthy scalp will
definitely help hair grow faster. Shampoo your hair well, and then rinse
it with diluted apple cider vinegar for healthy, shiny hair.
5. Egg
A simple egg can make for a good hair mask and egg will provide your
hair with needed proteins. The egg also provides a few other essential
nutrients the hair needs, such as iron, selenium, phosphorus, zinc,
sulfur etc. Take a regular egg and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and
honey. Mix them well and apply the resulting paste onto your hair. Leave
it like that for about 20 minutes and then rinse with cool water and
shampoo.
6. Green Tea
As a powerful antioxidant, green tea can be used both as an external and
internal solution. Drinking 3-4 cups of green tea a day will help your
overall body health as well as promote regrowth of hair follicles. You
can help this by applying some warm green tea to your scalp and leaving
it there for about an hour. Then, rinse off the green tea with cool
water, and your hair will become shiny and soft.
7. Oil of Vitamin E
Oil enriched with vitamin E has powerful antioxidant properties and can
remove the free radicals that damage our cells. In addition, it can
purify the oxygen supply to the scalp and blood flow, which help in
healthy hair growth. Take the oil and massage it gently into the scalp,
leave in overnight and wash it with a mild shampoo when you get up.
8. Henna
Henna is a natural conditioner. Apply a bit to make your dry hair softer
and smoother. Henna strengthens the root of the hair as well. Mix 2
tablespoons of henna powder with half a cup of yogurt, and let it sit
for 2 hours. Apply the mix to your hair and leave it there for about 1
hour. Then, wash it off with cold water.
9. Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is heavy in protein and happens to also contain large
amounts of iron, potassium and various fats that are essential to the
body. Using coconut milk on your scalp and hair will reduce your hair
loss while strengthening your individual hairs.
10. Banana and Honey
Banana and honey make for a powerful mix that can perform as a
conditioner and moisturizer for your hair. Mash one banana and add a
tablespoon of honey to create a mixture. Apply this mix to your hair,
leave it for 45 minutes and then wash it off.
