Excessive hair loss is a serious issue and can eventually lead to thinning, balding
and can bring down your self confidence. This can happen due to a number of reasons such as stress,
hereditary factors, excessive use of heat tools, hair treatments and even the wrong hair products.
Today’s video is all about ways to naturally regrow your hair,
from using onion juice, eating a protein rich diet to avoiding stress. Let’s begin.
13. Onion Juice: This remedy is regarded as one of most effective and oldest.
Onions contain sulfur that boosts collagen production in the tissues and helps in the
regrowth of hair. Don't let its strong smell keep you away, as it fades after one rinse.
Cut a few slices of onion and squeeze out the juice by mashing it or grating. Now
apply to the scalp for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with a mild shampoo.
12. Green Tea: Enriched with polyphenols, green tea is one of the best remedies for
thicker hair. It contains bioactive compounds which diminish hair loss, promoting growth.
Wash your scalp using warm green tea, which destroys fungal and bacterial parasites.
11. Egg Mask: This home remedy is popular for quick and natural hair growth. Eggs
contain high levels of proteins which help in the formation of new hair. It
is also rich in sulfur, zinc, iron, selenium, phosphorus and iodine.
For the mask, separate one egg white in a bowl and add one teaspoon of olive oil.
You can also use grape seed or lavender oil and honey. Make a paste and apply it
all over your hair and scalp for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water and shampoo.
10. Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera gel can get rid of many hair problems from frizz to dandruff. It also
minimizes hair loss, boosting growth of dormant follicles which results in faster regrowth. It
conditions and smoothes dry and brittle hair shafts which reduces breakage and hair loss.
Thanks to proteolytic enzymes and minerals such as copper and zinc. Aloe vera gel is
clinically proven to stimulate hair growth naturally and efficiently.
Treat your hair with an aloe vera massage the night before you wash your hair. Leave
the product overnight and let it absorb into the roots. Wash your hair the next day. You can also
prepare a hair mask with one cup of aloe vera gel and two tablespoons of castor oil. Add a
teaspoon of fenugreek powder and mix. Apply it on your hair from root to tip. Let it sit
for 20 minutes and wash your hair with a mild cleanser. Repeat this weekly for best results.
9. Regular Head Massage: When you massage your head,
it stimulates the scalp circulation and brings more oxygen and nutrients into
your hair follicles. More nourishment means your hair will grow healthier and stronger.
You can massage with or without oil. But if you choose to use oil,
make sure you use cold pressed ones like coconut, castor,
almond or olive oil. Apply the oil of your choice on the scalp and massage gently for
about 5 minutes. Let the oil soak in for an hour before washing. You can also keep it overnight for
better conditioning. For healthier and stronger hair, massage the scalp at least twice a week.
8. Eat A Protein Rich Diet:
Your diet will dictate a lot when it comes to your health and how your body looks. A
balanced diet with proteins and nutrients like Vitamin A and C can boost hair growth and give
you amazing results. Without good nutrition, most of these remedies won’t be much good.
Meals rich in biotin and proteins maintain hair health and improve the quality. Superfoods such
as lentils, green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish and nuts can help you get a fuller head
of hair. While proper nutrition is necessary, drinking plenty of water,
exercising regularly and trying not to stress can also help in boosting hair growth.
7. Avoid Smoking: Smoking will affect your hair in some way. It restricts blood flow to the scalp and
follicles, which in turn restricts vital oxygen and nutrients your hair and scalp need to be
healthy. Plus the toxins caused from smoking can soak into the hair follicles and cause disruption.
6. Coconut Oil: Infused with essential fatty acids, coconut oil has the ability
to penetrate the hair shaft making the hair healthy and shiny. It can be used before
and after washing your hair as a leave-in conditioner depending on your hair type.
For best results warm some coconut oil and massage into the scalp and hair slowly,
at least two hours before shampooing. If your hair is curly or severely dry, take a few drops of oil,
rub between your palms and scrunch your hair when it’s damp to get a healthy shine.
5. Trim Your Split Ends Regularly: It might sound counterproductive if you want your hair to grow
longer but regular trims get rid of dry, damaged ends and are necessary for natural growth. If left
untreated, split ends can work their way up the shaft of your hair and cause even more breakage.
Depending on the condition of your hair and your daily routine, you could need a trim anywhere from
every six weeks to six months. That said, the better you care for your hair on a day-to-day
basis, the less often you'll need a trim, and the longer your hair can grow naturally.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar: This vinegar gently cleanses the scalp and maintains pH balance
which accelerates hair growth. Make a diluted solution by mixing 75 ml
with one liter of water. To apply this solution, use it as a final rinse after
washing your hair. This will also give your hair added shine and boost growth.
3. Detangle Gently Using The Right Hairbrush:
Detangling knots in the hair is an important step in growing your strands faster. Not
taking proper care when brushing can cause your strands to break off and
split— the opposite of growth. When it comes to brushing your hair, think: slow and gentle.
The brush you choose makes a difference. While a brush with metal bristles has its purpose,
a wide-tooth comb, a detangling brush, or a paddle brush with rounded bristles are all better options
for gently combing through knots and causing minimal breakage. Almost as important as what
you use to brush your hair is when you choose to do so. Instead of detangling after the shower,
when the hair is most vulnerable and fragile, comb through your knots before you wash your hair.
2. Increase Your Physical Activity: When your body is active, it reduces stress
hormones that are capable of damaging your hair follicles. Because of this,
you should try to remain active throughout the day in order to prevent stress hormones
from stopping hair growth. Not only this, but increasing your body’s activity increases your
blood circulation, allowing more blood flow to your scalp. This leads to faster hair growth.
1. Avoid Stress: If your hair is falling out or turning gray
overnight - even after doing all we suggested, you might be too stressed.
Stress affects the whole body, and hair is no exception. It can cause a
disproportionate number of hair to go into resting phase at the same time. This leads
to large clumps of hair coming out all at once. The good news is that stress-related
hair loss is usually temporary, as long as the stress is temporary.
For healthy locks, find time to relax. Engage yourself in stress-reducing activities like yoga,
walking in nature, gardening and meditation. You can also seek support from friends and
family. Want to know more about stress management and how to stay healthy? WATCH:
