Growing
natural hair has never been an easy task. We all want thick, shiny, and long
curls, but getting there without expensive treatments or procedures sometimes
seems impossible. Few people know that there are many natural techniques to
improve hair growth and thickness at home. Here are our favorite tips to start
your hair growth journey today.
1. Coconut
oil
This
inexpensive hair conditioner can also be used as a delicious cooking oil in
your home. But topical oils can actually protect damaged hair and reduce the
loss of proteins or amino acids, which are essential for growth. Coconut oil
can even reverse the side effects of products that contain harsh chemicals. Just
rub a few spoons into the scalp and wash it off after an hour.
2. Gooseberry
Also known
as amla, gooseberry is a popular hair loss remedy in India. Apparently, it
stimulates hair growth by stimulating the dermal papilla cells on our hair
follicles. It also prolongs the active growth phase of your hair's natural
growth cycle, which means it should be a staple of your beauty routine. Apply
to palms and massage into hair, wash off after an hour.
3. Yogurt
The key
ingredient in yogurt is probiotics, which can increase growth and reduce
damage. In a study done on rats, yogurt made their fur look more luxurious, and
the same seems to be true for humans! However, don't try to dip your hair in a
bucket of yogurt. Simply eating this snack daily can help promote healthy hair.
Remember to buy the regular variety, with probiotics added if possible.
4. Onion
juice
Not the
strongest remedy on our list, but it works. It can even treat alopecia areata
thanks to its phytochemicals. To extract the juice, strain half an onion and
apply it to the scalp. Rinse thoroughly with a generous amount of shampoo to
remove odors. Do this twice a week.
5. Fenugreek
This
little-used ingredient is essential for shiny hair thanks to its bioactive
compounds. Be aware, however, that if you are allergic to legumes such as
soybeans, peanuts, or chickpeas, you may be allergic to fenugreek seeds. If you
don't soak a quarter of the seeds overnight in water. Then, grind them into a
paste and apply them like a hair mask for 30 minutes, rinsing with water only.
6. Green Tea
From facials
to eye masks, green tea bags have been a natural beauty savior for decades.
Green tea is high in antioxidants and polyphenols that can promote silky smooth
locks. The bioactive compounds in this slightly bitter tea may even reduce hair
loss. You can drink a few cups a day to reap the benefits.
7. Fish Oil
Additional
Omega-3 Fatty Acids! Consuming fish oil in liquid or capsule form can promote
hair growth because these supplements contain a valuable resource called DHA,
or docosahexaenoic acid. It increases the growth of papilla cells in the scalp,
which can even reverse the problems of thinning hair and baldness.
8. Coffee
Most people don't know that a cup of joe can help them achieve their hair goals. Caffeine can lengthen the hair shaft and prolong the anagen phase of hair growth, which may reduce baldness or thinning hair. All you have to do is drink a cup of coffee a day! Don't overdo it with supplements, or cream and sugar.
9. Rosemary
Essential Oil
Essential oil is a popular remedy for people who have trouble growing their hair the way they want. Rosemary oil is one of the most important essential oils for stimulating growth and treating androgenetic alopecia. Simply mix a few drops of rosemary oil into a carrier oil to protect your skin, massaging into the scalp and hair before rinsing. You can also buy shampoos and conditioners that contain rosemary oil as the main ingredient.
10. Eggs
Egg yolk
masks can help with many hair problems. Eggs contain large amounts of lecithin
and protein, which help to heal and nourish the hair strands, making them as
strong as possible. Eggs are also high in sulfur, which can help people with
dandruff. To make this mask, mix two eggs with two tablespoons of olive oil.
Dilute with half a cup of water, this will also reduce the stickiness. Apply to
dry combed hair and leave for 30 minutes before shampooing.
