5 Natural Home Remedies For Hair Growth

Every lady’s dream about hair is to have a long shinning mane, the one that would keep heads turning. Today, that can be achieved easily by wearing wigs and weaves. However, not everyone wants to have someone else’s hair or some synthetic piece covering their natural strands. Many women have gone into the natural hair movement. It takes dedication and discipline to care for one’s hair. And when it is done properly, it’s a thing of pride. There are many remedies one can use to achieve a healthy natural mane. Some are listed below:

Lemon Juice
Lemons are rich in vitamin C and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, and other nutrients. They are loaded with antioxidants. In addition to hair growth, lemon juice promotes smooth, shiny, dandruff-free hair. When applied on the scalp, it stimulates circulation and hence prevents hair loss. Do not use lemon juice in excess though, as it can lighten your hair color over time. Mix one part lemon juice and two parts of coconut or olive oil. Apply it on your hair, scalp and leave it on for 30 to 45 minutes. Wash it out and then shampoo your hair with a mild shampoo. Repeat once or twice a week.

Eggs
Hair is made up of keratin protein and eggs are a great source of protein. Thus, they are highly beneficial in helping your hair grow. Break two egg yolks and mix in two tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the mixture on your scalp and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it out with cold water and then shampoo your hair as usual. Alternatively, mix one egg and one-quarter cup each of plain yogurt and mayonnaise in a blender. Apply this hair mask and cover your hair with a shower cap. Leave it on for at least half an hour before rinsing it out. If you want your hair to grow faster add egg whites, egg white is known for healing properties and their ability to replenish hair and restore its softness and shine. Just crack open a few eggs, strain out the yolks, and make an egg white mask for your hair. Your hair will look ten times healthier instantly and will feel a lot stronger as well which, ultimately, will allow your hair to grow faster.


Coconut Oil
When dealing with hair loss, you can apply coconut oil infused with Indian gooseberry, or amla, to encourage hair growth. It will help greatly with premature graying as well. Heat some coconut oil in a pan and cook dried amla pieces in it until they are charred. Strain and cool the oil. Massage your hair and scalp with it. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Do it on a weekly basis, you can also apply a mixture of one tablespoon each of dried Indian gooseberry powder and lemon juice. Simply applying fresh amla juice is also very useful.
