Home Remedies for Growing Long Hair

Who doesn’t yearn for long cascading hair?
Long hair has always been a universally praised trend. All you need to do is to follow these steps routinely to boost your hair growth. We have curated the most effective home remedies to help you step up your hair growth game.

 

1. Onions

As bizarre as it may sound, onions act as a yielding remedy for hair growth. Come to terms with the strong smell of onions which is due to the sulphur present in them that boosts the formation of collagen tissues that promotes hair growth. You can either use red onions or shallots. Take 2-3 onions and grate them to extract the juice. Apply this juice on the scalp and leave it for 30-45 minutes. Wash your hair with your regular shampoo afterwards. This remedy can be repeated once every week.

 

2. Eggs

Eggs are made up of 70% keratin protein, which is A1 for our hair health. Mix an egg or two (according to your hair length) in a bowl with 1 tbsp. olive oil. Apply the mixture to damp hair and cover your hair either with a shower cap or a towel soaked in hot water and wait for 30 minutes before washing your hair as you normally do. There is no skepticism about what gorgeous tresses you will have as an upshot.

 

3. Aloe Vera

Known for its wonders on skin and hair, we can't miss out on the benefits of Aloe Vera. You will find Aloe Vera is a main ingredient in the majority of hair care products that you’ll come across. Apply fresh Aloe Vera gel mixed with a little lemon juice and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Shampoo your hair. Do this once or twice every week. You can also combine Aloe Vera gel with lemon juice and then apply it. For even better results, drink Aloe Vera juice on a regular basis.

 

4. Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary oil is perfect for promoting hair growth because it increases circulation to the scalp while stimulating cellular metabolism. This increased circulation improves blood and nutrient flow to hair follicles and boosts growth significantly. Mix 5 ml of any carrier oil (argon or jojoba oil) with 8 drops of rosemary essential oil using your fingertips rhythmically, massage the oil into your scalp and roots. Start from the front of your scalp then move to the sides and finally the back of your head.

 

5. Castor oil

Castor oil facilitates hair growth because it is rich in omega-9 fatty acids and vitamin E. The thick oil moisturizes your hair, adds volume, prevents frizzing, and also fights scalp infections. It is best to mix castor oil with an equal amount of a base oil to get a better consistency and enhance the benefits. Rub it on your scalp and massage. Leave it on for 30 to 45 minutes.

 

6. Coconut Milk

Coconut milk contains vitamins B, C, and E, as well as calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, selenium, and numerous other nutrients. It nourishes your hair, promotes hair growth, and prevents hair loss. Massage your scalp with coconut milk. Scalp massage is the key for blood circulation and eventually hair growth. You can simply include fresh coconut milk in your diet and skip this remedy.

 
Along with these home remedies there are few key points to keep in mind to have the epical length you have dreamt of-

• Give your scalp a good massage while following the above remedies as it will aid blood circulation.
• Never be harsh on your hair while combing and don't brush too often.
• Never untangle them with a brush when wet, always use your fingertips.
• Trim your hair regularly.
• Focus on your diet.
