1. Use aloe vera juice
Is there an aloe vera plant leading a boring existence in a pot somewhere in your house? Time to use it better! Aloe vera juice stimulates hair growth and is useful for treating the scalp.
- Cut some aloe leaves.
- Cut each leaf in half to cause the secretion of juice.
- Massage the juice into the roots of the hair. The use of massage movements improves blood circulation and ensures better absorption.
- Leave the mask on for at least two hours. If you want you can leave it overnight.
2. Prepare a panthenol mask
D-panthenol is a synthetic vitamin B5 that, when introduced into the skin, is transformed into pantothenic acid, a chemical known to normalize the state of the epidermis. Among its properties are the restoration of hair follicles and the prevention of hair loss.
- Wash hair as usual.
- Apply panthenol (foam or gel) to clean hair, focusing your attention on the roots.
- You can also apply panthenol throughout your hair to straighten it and eliminate static electricity.
3. Rinse your scalp with cold water after washing
Try to make it a habit. Coldwater closes the pores and improves blood circulation, which leads to faster hair growth. As a bonus, your hair will be noticeably shinier.
- Rinse hair normally.
- After using a conditioner or mask, wash your hair with cool water.
4. Wash hair with apple cider vinegar
Doing this twice a month will suffice. Apple cider vinegar activates the hair follicles, an indispensable service that will help you in your quest for lush hair.
- Wash the hair.
- Use apple cider vinegar instead of hair conditioner.
- Don’t Rinse – Unlike wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar doesn’t have a strong odor.
5. Treat your scalp with protein masks
Here’s a good trick to combat protein shortage:
- Take two eggs at room temperature.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites and apply them to the root of your hair.
- For a greater effect, you can wrap your head with polyethylene and wear a warm hat.
6. Try an egg and cognac mask
Eggs are packed with protein, while brandy contains tannins that help make hair thicker and fuller and stimulate growth.
- Get two eggs and a glass of brandy.
- Beat the ingredients with a fork or put them in a blender and apply the resulting mixture to the roots of the hair.
- Add olive oil if you want to apply the mask on the entire length; This will provide softness and ease of handling to the hair. Sushmita uses this technique to design and create elaborate hairstyles.
7. Use essential oils
Jojoba, almond, lavender, rosemary and thyme oils have a beneficial effect on hair follicles, providing the scalp with a large amount of vitamins and herbal components.
- Blend the essential oils mentioned above or add them to a coconut oil mask.
- Apply the mixture to the roots of the hair. Wait 2-3 hours.
- To properly wash off an oil mask, rinse your head twice with regular shampoo or once with an alkaline shampoo for a deep clean.
