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.
