home remedies for hair growth

 

1. Onion Juice

The health benefits of onion are not new to anyone, but this food ingredient also serves as the best home remedy to grow hair faster and thicker. Onion juice for hair growth is quite useful as it contains sulphur which increases collagen production. When collagen production increases in the tissues, hair re-growth becomes faster. In addition, the antibacterial properties of onion work well to fight scalp infections because in many cases bacteria contribute to hair loss. 

Directions to use

  • With the help of a cotton pad dab the onion juice on your scalp.
  • Leave it for 15-30 minutes.
  • Wash your scalp with a mild shampoo.

2. Egg Mask

Eggs are the most easily available food item in every household that you can use for hair growth. Being rich in sulphur, phosphorus, iodine, iron, zinc, and high levels of proteins, eggs are a brilliant home remedy for hair growth. In addition, research studies have found that egg contains vitamin B12, vitamin B2, and folic acid which help to nourish scalp and hair roots.

Directions to use

  • Separate the egg white from the yolk(yellow part) and add one teaspoon of olive oil or mustard oil to it.
  • Mix it well.
  • Apply the paste on your scalp and hair for about 20 minutes and wash it with a mild shampoo.

3. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

Apple Cider Vinegar is another effective home remedy to promote hair growth. It is packed with a number of nutrients such as potassium which promotes hair growth. Being highly acidic in nature, it helps to maintain the pH balance of the scalp which in turn offers smoother, stronger, and shinier hair. In addition, the wonderful cleansing action of ACV helps to remove dead cells and impurities from the scalp which further helps prevent dandruff build-up.

Directions to use

  • Make a diluted solution by mixing 75ml vinegar in one-litre water.
  • Rinse your hair with this water after shampooing and conditioning.
  • This must be your final rinse after washing your hair as the longer it stays, the more shine it will provide to your hair strands.

4. Coconut Milk

Both coconut oil and coconut milk are identified as the best home remedies for hair problems such as hair fall, hair growth, and breakage-prone hair. Important to note, if you want to prevent baldness, consider using coconut milk for hair growth. Coconut milk is a great source of vitamins (B1, B3, B5, B6, C, and E) and many essential minerals like iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. On the basis of its numerous nutrients, it is considered quite useful to stop hair fall. It nourishes the scalp, boosts the follicles, and makes hair healthier.

Directions to use

  • It is always better to prepare coconut milk by squeezing the milk out of coconut yourself, rather than buying coconut milk from the market.
  • After that, squeeze half a lemon in it and add 4 drops of lavender oil.
  • Apply the mixture on your scalp for 4-5 hours and wash it with a mild shampoo. 

5. Green Tea 

You must be surprised to know that green tea not only helps to trim your side flabs, but this detox drink can do wonders for hair loss as well. During a study conducted at Seoul National University, scientists discovered that green tea contains an active component  "EGCG" (or epigallocatechin gallate) which promotes significant hair elongation. In addition, Green tea contains B5 vitamin (panthenol) which helps to resolve several hair problems such as control split ends, softens hair, and strengthens the hair follicle.

Directions to use

  • Rinse your hair with freshly brewed green tea. This rinse works well to stimulate hair follicles and prevents dandruff build-up as well.
  • Repeat it twice or thrice a week.

 

Additional tips for healthy and voluminous hair

  • Cleanse your hair with anti-hair fall control shampoo
  • Opt for a Hair fall control serum
  • Understand the importance of deep conditioning
  • Avoid Over styling of hair

 1. Cleanse your hair with anti-hair fall control shampoo

Trichologists explain that anti-hair fall control shampoo can be quite helpful to stop hair fall. However, you need to be extra careful while picking a shampoo for your hair fall. Numerous research studies have found that topical use of  Nasturtium officinale Extract (watercress) and Tropaeolum majus extract (Indian cress) help promote hair growth. Similarly, a 2018 research study has mentioned the benefits of hydrolyzed pea protein to increase hair growth meanwhile adding the natural shine to hair.

2. Opt for a Hair fall control serum

A research study published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology has demonstrated the efficacy of hair control serum in managing hair fall. Biotin and aminexil are some best ingredients that help to increase the hair density and  hair thickness.

 

 

3. Understand the importance of deep conditioning

The biggest myth that we all believe in that the use of conditioners will cause more hair loss. This half-truth influences a majority of people to avoid applying a conditioner after cleansing with shampoo. The unknown side is, conditioning after shampoo is pivotal to refill the sebum and natural oils that have been washed away with the use of a shampoo. A suitable conditioner is required for keeping your hair healthy, shiny and voluminous by restoring the hydration, moisture, and elasticity in hair strands. It is also worth mentioning that only the right hair care products that best suit your tresses and scalp can help you achieve desired results. Using conditioners that have silicones can be proven a bad choice since it will lead to heavy silicone build-up on your scalp. Silicones are major ingredients used in the formulation of hair conditioners. They impart temporary shine to your hair by coating them, which also causes silicone buildup. This silicone build-up hinders the flow of nutrients to the scalp, which further leads to hair fall or folliculitis.

Luckily, there are other natural alternatives, which not only help to nourish the scalp but also repair dull and damaged hair. Conditioners that come with the goodness of natural ingredients such as Murumuru butter or Babassu oil are an ideal option. Both these oils are rich sources of antioxidants, Vitamin E, and natural oils that help to restore hair elasticity and make them look voluminous and healthy.

4. Avoid Over styling of hair

Do you know that the use of straighteners, curlers or blow dryers used for making these hairdos and hairstyles can cause long-term damage to your hair? The reason behind this is that electric appliances damage the outermost layer of hair and strip off its natural oils, which ultimately makes your hair appear dull, damaged, and breakage-prone. If you are already dealing with hair loss from heat damage then it is good to take a break from hair styling tools.
