5 Natural Ways to Grow Healthy Hair Acc To Experts
Give Yourself a Scalp Massage
We spend so much time and money on hair products that we forget where hair development begins—the scalp. "Just like good-quality soil is essential to growing healthy plants and flowers, a healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth," Bauman.
A scalp massage at home can boost hair growth. This increases scalp blood flow, strengthens roots, and speeds nutrition delivery to follicles.1 Dry hair scalp massages are beneficial, but adding nutrient-rich oil doubles them. Keep it to once a week for greasy roots.
Try an Egg Yolk Mask
Bauman says that while we can't speed up hair growth, we can improve the quality of each follicle's hair shafts (thicker, stronger, shinier locks).
Check Your Medication
Bauman said several medicinal drugs cause hair loss. "Some of the commonly prescribed categories of drugs that can exacerbate hair loss include antihypertensives (blood pressure); cholesterol or statins.
Do a Hot Castor Oil Treatment
Castor oil is the unsung hair hero—you may want to switch from coconut oil after reading this. First, castor oil fights scalp diseases that inhibit hair growth with its anti-fungal and antibacterial capabilities.
Avoid Smoking
No one is judging you for smoking, but it does alter your hair. "Smoking restricts blood flow to the scalp and follicles, which, in turn, restricts the vital oxygen and nutrients that your hair and scalp need to be healthy," says Bauman.
