Hair is one of the most noticeable and attractive aspects of your overall appearance. Like other aspects, hair requires delicate care to maintain its health and shine over time. If you are tired of counting the strands of hair falling out, don’t worry. There are many home remedies for hair fall.
Both men and women desire healthy, luscious hair. They try different types of medications and home remedies without knowing the specific methods to get longer hair faster. It should be noted that each hair strand has its own life cycle (Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen stages). By the time one reaches middle age (around 30 years), it’s normal to have slow hair growth.
Causes of slow growth of hair:
Sometimes, slow hair growth happens due to:
• Hormonal imbalances
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Poor hair care
• Use of harmful hair care products (or chemical-laden hair products)
• Allergies
• Heredity
• Excessive stress
• Improper hairstyles
• Pollution
One must understand that the health of the hair is directly connected to the health of the body. Hence, it’s vital to keep good health.
Symptoms of slow hair and hair loss:
Initially, it’s difficult to notice slow hair growth and hair loss as they occur naturally, and we think that whatever hair is falling out will be regained.
Some of the important symptoms of slow hair growth are:
• Fallout of hair in a cluster
• Dryness in hair
• Thinning of the hairline
• Dandruff attack
• Itching
Those who aspire to long, thick hair are advised to seek expensive medical help, use readily available aids, or both. Slow hair growth and hair loss have been a concern for many people, and knowing how to grow your hair faster can certainly give you an edge in today’s changing lifestyle. Here are some home remedies for hair growth.
• Hair massage
Massaging the hair and scalp helps improve circulation. Hence, hair growth is stimulated. You should apply hot oil (at least twice a week) treatment or massage your hair for about five minutes daily for effective results. Gently rub your fingers over your scalp in a soft, circular motion; this helps open blood vessels and increase blood flow. You can heat coconut or olive oil in a microwave and then use it with soft hands. This treatment also significantly reduces dandruff.
• Egg Mask
Egg whites have some healing properties that help to replenish or regain the natural softness of the hair. Such an egg mask contains high levels of zinc, iodine, iron, proteins, sulfur, and phosphorus, which improve hair growth. You have to crack open the eggs and remove the yolk to apply only the white mask. After applying, leave it on for 15 minutes, then wash your hair. Regular application of the egg white mask will not only promote hair growth faster, but also restore its natural shine.
• Healthy diet
Try to avoid nutritional deficiencies that can affect hair development. There is no replacement for a healthy diet in promoting the well-being of hair and the body as a whole. A diet rich in protein and vitamins A, B, C and E, B-complex, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, etc. should be regularly taken for the faster growth of hair.
Those who want to get longer hair should include a variety of food items in their diet, such as:
• Spinach
• Grapefruit
• Cheese
• Chicken
• Whole grains
• Salmon
• Cabbage
• Yogurt
• Oats
• Avocado, etc.
A healthy diet is essential for maintaining healthy hair and promoting its growth year-round.
• Onion Juice and coconut milk
The sulfur present in onion juice helps increase collagen proteins, thereby improving hair follicles. Similarly, proteins present in coconut milk help to control breakage and thinning hair. Gently apply the coconut milk to the scalp and let it absorb for 2 hours before washing.
• Rosemary
Rosemary is an excellent home remedy for hair growth, as its antioxidant properties strengthen hair follicles and eliminate dandruff. Moreover, rosemary contains sulfur and silica, which help prevent hair loss, unclog blocked hair follicles, and darken hair to some extent. Just two drops of rosemary, mixed with a small amount of your base oil, are sufficient for the hair.
• Castor oil
The omega-9 fatty acids and vitamin E available in the castor oil promote natural hair growth. Additionally, these attributes help thicken the oil, preventing frizz and scalp infections. Massage the scalp with a mixture of castor oil and an equal amount of olive, coconut, or almond oil, and then wash the hair after 30 minutes. You will feel the positive effects after its regular applications.
Conclusion:
Although there are many home remedies for hair growth, they are of no use if you are not living a stress-free life. Mental and physical health must be in good condition to groom hair more efficiently. Additionally, you must know how to grow your hair through the proper application of home products; otherwise, any inadequacy in the process may not yield the desired results.
