Dandruff and split ends are common hair problems that we have to deal with on a daily basis. Although they may seem like minor problems, they can ultimately lead to hair loss.
While shampoos and conditioners can fix these problems, they often have side effects. Natural remedies offer a safer alternative, and effective solutions can be found in plants and herbs you have around your home. Here are five powerful natural herbs that can stimulate hair growth and how to use them:
Five powerful plants that stimulate hair growth
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is known for its benefits for hair and skin. It is a common ingredient in hair care products. The gel contains minerals, copper and zinc, which help fight dandruff and promote hair growth.
How to use: Extract fresh aloe vera gel from the plant and mix it with two to three teaspoons of coconut oil. Massage it into your scalp, leave it on for a while and then rinse it off.
Rosemary
Rosemary is rich in antibacterial properties, antioxidants, and vitamins, making it an excellent herb for hair growth. It improves blood circulation, promotes hair growth, and helps curb premature hair loss.
How to use:Make rosemary oil at home by mixing it with other oils such as coconut or almond oil. Apply it to your hair, let it sit for an hour, and then wash it out with a quality conditioner.
Hibiscus
Hibiscus flowers and leaves, packed with flavonoids and amino acids, stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles and encourage new hair growth. These amino acids stimulate the formation of keratin, which is vital for healthy hair.
How to use: Boil 3 or 4 hibiscus flowers in water, strain them and apply the water to the scalp daily. You can also infuse the flowers in oil for a more powerful treatment.
Currant
Gooseberry is a popular hair care ingredient, rich in vitamin C, which helps produce collagen and supports the hair growth process.
How to use: Extract the juice from the currants and apply it on the scalp. Massage gently for 5 minutes, leave it on for a while and then rinse with warm water.
Brahmi
Brahmi improves blood circulation in the scalp, which promotes the growth of longer and thicker hair. It also acts as a natural preservative, reducing hair breakage and relieving scalp problems like infections and irritation.
How to use:Boil Brahmi leaves in oil or use dried Brahmi leaves in powder form. You can also combine Brahmi with herbs like basil, gooseberry and neem to create a nourishing hair mask.
