There are several home remedies that are believed to promote hair growth, although the scientific evidence for their effectiveness is often limited.
Here are a few commonly recommended remedies:
Scalp massage:
Massaging the scalp with oils such as coconut, castor, or olive oil can increase blood flow to the hair follicles, which may promote hair growth. It is recommended to warm the oil a little before applying and then massage gently on the scalp with your fingers for 5-10 minutes.
Aloe vera:
Aloe vera is rich in enzymes that can stimulate hair growth and repair damage. You can apply fresh aloe vera gel to your scalp and hair, or use aloe vera products, such as shampoo or conditioner, that contain aloe vera.
Onion juice:
Onion juice is believed to be high in sulfur, which can help promote collagen production, and may also have antibacterial properties that can help fight scalp infections, both of which may promote hair growth. You can extract onion juice by grating an onion, then straining the juice through a sieve. Apply the juice to your scalp, leave it on for 15-30 minutes, and then shampoo your hair as usual.
Egg mask:
Eggs are rich in protein, which is essential for hair growth. You can make a hair mask by mixing one egg with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then applying it to your hair and scalp. Leave the mask on for 20- 30 minutes and then shampoo your hair as usual.
Fenugreek:
Fenugreek is a plant that has been used for centuries to promote hair growth. You can soak fenugreek seeds overnight, grind them into a paste, and then apply the paste to your hair and scalp. Leave the paste on for 30-40 minutes and then shampoo your hair as usual.
Indian Gooseberry (Amla):
Indian Gooseberry is one of the most commonly used ingredients in hair growth remedies. The fruit is rich in Vitamin C, minerals, and antioxidants that can promote hair growth and prevent hair fall. You can use Amla powder, oil or Juice in your hair care routine.
Hair vitamins:
In addition to eating a balanced diet, you may also consider taking a hair supplement that contains biotin, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and other necessary vitamins.It’s also important to remember that hair growth is a gradual process and it can take several months to see a noticeable change. A healthy diet, regular exercise, getting enough sleep and reducing stress can also play a crucial role in promoting hair growth.
