These situations are just a few scenarios of when losing your hair can be very embarrassing.
Luckily, there are ways you can preserve your hair from falling off, and when it does, or if one of the scenarios above happens, how to hasten the growth of the hair.
One major way to ensure your hair grows back up really fast, is by using shampoo. There are some ingredients to put in the shampoo to make the hair growth even faster.
Over the course of the review, I’m going to list some hair growth home remedies to work with. These home remedies have to be mixed with a hair loss shampoo or a hair growth shampoo and conditioner.
6 ingredients to add to your shampoo for crazy hair growth
-
Onion Juice
The first additive on the list is the onion juice. Onion juice is one of the hair growth remedies you can try out at home. It’s features and nutritional content, help trigger hair growth and prevent hair loss.
Yes some people still thing that using to the onion juice is a bit old school, but as soon as they see the results, their perception of it changes, almost automatically.
Now, I know that, the onion juice may be a little smelly, but this is just a little price to pay for a silk and beautiful long hair.
Mixing the onion juice with a hair growth shampoo is easy; all you have to do is, chop the onion into onion shallots (you would need just a few). Apply the shallots on the scalp and leave it there for at least 15 minutes. After the fifteen minutes, wash the scalp with the shampoo. The sulphuric juice in the onion, will give produces effective result within a week.
-
Apple Cider Vinegar
What a great way to use food ingredients, other than for cooking of course. I bet many of you out there did not know this, but organic produces does wonders to the hair, and the apple cider vinegar is one of them.
Mixing the apple cider vinegar to any FDA approved hair growth products, really does wonders to the hair.
How does the apple cider vinegar work with hair growth? Triggering hair growth with this vinegar need little or no effort, mix a 75 ml apple cider vinegar to a litre of water and use it to rinse off the hair shampoo. Do this regularly.
The more you do this, the effect is that, it cleans the scalp thoroughly, accelerating the hair growth.
-
Honey
Did you know that honey is one of the most important animal produce in the world? Apart from the fact that you can eat honey, they also have health benefits too.
For one, honey is good with eyesight, and also a great antiseptic for open wounds. Plus honey never gets bad. Spending money on this commodity is really not a waste.
So why not use honey for fast hair growth also. I mean if can do all this great stuff, then why not hair growth.
Honey is common in every household, yet a few know that honey can be used to strengthen hair follicles.
Apply a single teaspoon of honey to two tablespoons of hair growth shampoo and use it to wash your hair. Do this twice a week, with days suitable for you.
The antioxidants in the honey gets rid of all or most of the free element that that causes damages to the scalp.
-
Amla powder and lime juice
Like I was saying earlier, there are some food stuffs you never knew were good hair growth agents.
The Alma powder and lime juice are great hair treatment organic products.
Lime juice and Amla powder do not necessarily work hand in hand, but to produce a fast and more effective result, it would be better to blend them together and use them.
Together, they not only clear dandruff, it also prevent hair loss. Mix the Alma powder (and shikakai and curd) with the lime juice, and you got a yourself a healthy paste.
Apply the mixture on the dry scalp, leave for a while then wash it off. Rinse it with shampoo and hot water.
The Alma powder and lime juice together, has a lot of antioxidant, with vitamin C. Together, these properties helps with hair growth and hair pigmentation.
-
Potato juice
It seems the list is getting more and more bizarre by the count, but yes, potato juice is a great additive to shampoos and conditioners to make the hair grow really fast. And just like the honey, the potato also has some health benefits (and hair benefits apparently). The only downside to this versatile vegetables or tuber (whichever works) is that, it perishes really fast. Before we go into how potato works with shampoos, here’s a fun fact about potato. “If you put so much salt in any meal, just drop one Irish potato in it; the potato sucks all the salt”.
Potato being rich vitamin C, B and A, has scalp treatment features. Extracting the juice out of a potato is rather easy; blend a slice of it and there you go.
Directly apply the juice on the scalp, leave it there for about 15 minutes, then wash with shampoo, MILDLY!!
Perform this process for weeks and watch wonders!
-
Carrots
Fun fact; did you know that carrots were first cultivated for strictly medical purposes only? Well now you know.
In rating healthy farm products, carrots is amongst the top products, together with the likes of bananas, ginger, almond and others.
Carrots are rich in antioxidants properties, alongside vitamin and minerals.
These properties goes on to prevent hair loss and revitalize the hair follicle, making grow thicker, stronger and faster.
Grate the carrot and apply directly to the scalp, leave for 15 minutes, then wash off with shampoo. But if you don’t want to follow the previous steps, you could just mix it with the shampoo when washing your hair.
These are but a few of the home remedies to hair growth. There are more, but rather than give you a long list, which would end up confusing you, how about we show you some of our best shampoos on the market:
