Share:

 There are a lot of factors that contribute to hair growth (or lack thereof), but one of the most overlooked is physical stimulation- massaging your scalp, giving yourself a scalp massage using some key natural ingredients can help your hair grow faster. With a lot of natural treatment options, achieving the hair of your dreams doesn't have to feel so far-fetched. Just remember, being consistent in using a good product or  ingredients can actually make your hair grow faster. Follow the tips to grow healthier, stronger hair that will reduce breakage at the ends and in-turn promote length. To help us figure out how to make hair grow faster, we hit up the pros.

Do a Scalp Massage to Stimulate Growth

Rosemary oil has been used for centuries to stimulate hair growth. It dilates blood vessels and in turn stimulates your follicles to produce new growth.



 

Hair growth starts from your scalp. "Just like good quality soil is essential to grow healthy plants and flowers, a healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth," says Bauman. "Research supports the idea that a scalp massage has beneficial effects on stress hormones, blood pressure and heart rate." A simple way to stimulate hair growth at home is to give yourself a scalp massage. This will increase blood flow to your scalp, enhance the strength of your roots, and help nutrients get to your follicle faster. You can give yourself a scalp massage with dry hair, but adding a nutrient-rich oil to the mix will only double the benefits. (Just keep it to once a week if you have oily roots).


Do a Hot Castor Oil Treatment to Promote Hair Growth




Castor oil is the unsung hero of the hair world—you might even be tempted to ditch your coconut oil for it after reading this. First of all, castor oil has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties to help combat scalp infections that prevent your hair from growing. Second, it’s filled with omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, proteins, and other nutrients that can penetrate your parched strands and seal your hair shaft to retain moisture. Thirdly, it makes for an amazing hot oil treatment—massaging the oil into your roots will help your scalp drink up all of the nutrients and help promote hair growth.

To give yourself a hot oil treatment, massage the oil into your scalp and then apply it all the way to the ends of your strands. Pile your hair on top of your head, cover it with a shower cap, and blast your strands with a blow-dryer for 15 minutes. Feel free to jump in the shower and shampoo and condition as usual. You’ll notice softer strands instantly.

Turns out cinnamon isn't only good for sprinkling over your morning oatmeal. Thanks to its anti-microbial properties, it poses hair benefits too, in the form of stimulating blood circulation and nourishing strands. Mix equal parts cinnamon and coconut oil and apply to your hair, focusing at the roots. Let it sit for 45 minutes before rinsing.
