Some women take pride in their long hair. And it's very understandable why they should be: growing your long takes lots of time, patience, and effort. Some even resort to expensive treatments just to grow their locks. However, if you are kind of short on cash or you just can't find the time to visit a hair care specialist to have your treatment, there's still a way for you to increase hair growth. Suggestions for home remedies have now become widely available for women like you. Now, you don't need to spend huge amounts of cash just to enjoy the effects provided by the most expensive treatments. Here are some recommendations which you can try out in the comforts of your own home:
Home Remedies for Hair Growth tip no. 1: Onion. One thing you can do with onion is mince it and mix it with your shampoo. Let it stand for 15 days before using. After that period, you can start using your shampoo. It will not just promote hair growth; it will also make your hair sleek and shiny. Another thing you can do onion is boil it in water together with garlic and cinnamon. Use this mixture to rinse your hair for 4 days. Lastly, you can mix the onion with lemon juice and use it to massage your scalp.
Home Remedies for Hair Growth tip no. 2: Lemon. Another alternative use for lemon which you can try out is mixing it with yogurt. Just get a bowl full of yogurt and squeeze the juice out of a whole lemon into it. Apply it on your hair and scalp and let it stand for a quarter of an hour or so (use a shower cap or a plastic bag). Wash it off using shampoo and rinse with very cold water.
Home Remedies for Hair Growth tip no. 3: Coconut oil. Heat coconut oil until lukewarm and use it as alternative massage oil for your scalp. If you want, you can also mix it with lime water to make it more effective. Leave it on your hair and scalp overnight and wash it off the morning after.
Home Remedies for Hair Growth tip no. 4: Aloe vera and honey. Scrape the gel off three aloe vera leaves and mix with honey. Let the mixture stand in your hair for 20 minutes then rinse.
Home Remedies for Hair Growth tip no. 5: Castor oil. Castor oil is one of the most popular choices when it comes to addressing hair growth. Not only does it increase your hair's growth rate, it can also make your hair stronger, thicker and lusher. Apply castor oil like any other oil treatments: just massage it gently onto the hair roots and scalp. You can choose to rinse it out after half an hour or allow it to sit in your hair overnight. For best results, use this oil religiously for about six to eight weeks. If you can't stand its scent and thick consistency, you can also mix the castor oil with other lighter oils (i.e. coconut oil, sunflower oil, grape seed extract).
