NATURAL INGREDIENTS TO HELP HAIR GROWTH

There are several natural ingredients that are commonly used and believed to promote hair growth. While the effectiveness of these ingredients may vary from person to person, they are generally considered safe to use. Here are some natural ingredients that are often associated with promoting hair growth:

1. PEPPERMINT OIL: It has a cooling effect and helps improve blood circulation, which can promote hair growth. It penetrates the scalp and stimulates the hair follicle, allowing for more oxygen production that gives your hair the green light to grow. With a fresh aroma, this strongly concentrated oil must be diluted before applying the scalp.
   • What You’ll Need
     • Coconut oil 1 – 2 tbsp (olive oil works too)
     • Peppermint oil 5 – 10 drops
   • Directions
     • Thirty minutes prior to showering, wet your hands with the mixture and rub it into your scalp and hair from roots to end. You can also leave it on overnight for a conditioning treatment.
2. ROSEMARY OIL: It stimulates blood circulation in the scalp, which can promote hair growth. Rosemary oil is known for its scalp stimulating properties. It gets the blood circulating in your scalp, which also assists with thinning edges and balding spots.
   • What You’ll Need
   • Directions
     • Mix a few drops of the Rosemary Oil with the Coconut Oil and massage into the scalp. Leave the mixture on for a couple of hours and rinse with cool water.
3. ONION JUICE: It contains sulfur, which may help promote collagen production and stimulate hair growth. The smell might be less than pleasant to some (or most) but this DIY treatment has been used for ages and for a good reason — it works! Thanks to its high sulfur content, it is incredibly effective in stimulating and increasing your blood circulation.
   • What You’ll Need
     • Blend or chop onions and then strain the juice.
   • Directions
     • Apply to your hair for 15 min. and then wash thoroughly.
4. EGGS: Eggs are full of all of the major essential vitamins and minerals (except for C) including zinc, iron and selenium.
   • What You’ll Need
   • Directions
     • Whisk an egg and apply it to the scalp and hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing with cool water and shampoo.
5. CINNAMON-BASED MASK: Turns out cinnamon isn’t only good for sprinkling over your morning oatmeal. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, it poses hair benefits, too, in the form of stimulating blood circulation and nourishing strands.
   • What You Will Need
   • Directions
     • Mix equal parts cinnamon and coconut oil and apply to your hair. Make sure you focus on the roots. Let it sit for 45 minutes before rinsing.

Remember, natural ingredients may not work the same for everyone, and individual results may vary. If you have any underlying medical conditions or concerns about your hair health, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional or a dermatologist.
