3. Apple Cider Vinegar
Use Apple Cider Vinegar for healthy hair. The most crucial thing that you must bear in mind towards promoting natural hair growth is having a healthy scalp. Apple cider vinegar will assist in clearing the scalp for hair growth and maintain your hair as healthy as possible.
Vinegar stimulates the growth of the hair follicle. It is possible to gain healthy and strong hair only when you have an efficient circulation of blood in your body. Apple cider vinegar is able to stimulate the better circulation of blood from the body to your hair follicle.
4. Lavender, Basil and Lemon
Essential oils such as lavender, basil and lemons should be applied sparingly to your scalp in order to make your scalp healthier and smells nicer. Use a pipette to apply a few drops of one of the mentioned essential oil every morning and massage your scalp gently to let it soak at night before you to bed and rinse in the morning.
5. Eight glass of water
The eight glass of water per day rule would make your skin and hair healthier and more beautiful if you consume it regularly. Getting enough water would not directly affect your hair growth, but having a properly hydrated body would keep you from getting branched hair. You would also be freed from having to trim your hair regularly because of dry hair condition and your hair could grow naturally without such interference.
6. Healthy foods
Getting more protein input to your body would help your hair to grow faster as food containing saturated fat could slow down the process significantly. Eggs, yoghurt, almonds, cashews, and milk are great sources of proteins and are basically what makes your hair grow faster. We could also maximize our hair growth by getting food that contains vitamins A, B, C, E, along with zinc and iron (meat, spinaches, yogurt, and fishes) into our daily menu.
7. Working out
A good working out routine can make your body healthy and improve your blood circulation system including those on your scalp. The better our blood circulation is, the more effective our nutrient circulation to our hair follicles.
8. Body and head Hygiene
You should always maintain your scalp hygiene regularly. Make a habit of washing your hair regularly to wash all of the dirt, dust, and oil deposition that piles up on your hair. Washing your hair can get rid of any kind of dirt that plugs the pores on your scalp that may prevent natural hair growth. Hair washing would also involve scalp massage which is great to stimulate new hair growth.
9. Appropriate combing
Combing your hair the right way can help to maintain natural hair growth. Use a natural boar brush with soft brush points on your hair and scalp. Combing your hair can stimulate the scalp oil production process that is meant to lubricate your hair and scalp. If your hair falls into the oily type, avoid combing your hair too often because it would make your hair even oilier.
