Growing hair naturally is never an easy feat. We all want thick, lustrous, and long locks, but getting there without expensive treatments or procedures can feel impossible at times. Little do people know, there are many natural techniques for you to enhance hair growth and thickness at home. Here are our favorite tips to start your hair growth journey today.
1. Coconut oil
This inexpensive hair remedy can double as a delicious cooking oil in your household. But applying the oil topically can actually protect damaged hair, and reduce loss of protein, or amino acids, which are essential for growth. Coconut oil can even possibly reverse the side effects of products containing harsh chemicals. Just massage a couple of tablespoons into your scalp and wash it off after an hour.
2. Gooseberry
Otherwise known as amla, gooseberry is a common remedy for hair loss in India. Apparently, it proliferates hair growth by stimulating the dermal papilla cells on our follicles. It also extends the active growth phase of our hair’s natural growth cycle, which means it should be a staple in your beauty routine. Apply with palms and massage in hair, washing out after an hour.
