Regrow Hair Naturally At Home
Unlike many people think, head massage is not unpolished or rustic. Head massage is one of the most important ritual for healthy hair and scalp. It improves blood circulation and drains away toxins from the scalp. You can head massage without using any oil, but I prefer to do it with oil. The best oils for hair arecoconut, sesame, almond , olive and castor (diluted with another oil).
How to do? Apply oil (of your choice) evenly on the scalp and massage gently with the pads of your fingers. Finish by running fingers through your hair. It shouldn’t take more than 10 to 15 minutes. Leave on for an hour before washing, or you can also keep it overnight for better conditioning. For healthier and stronger, head massage at least once a week.
2) Meditate
If you want your hair back you can take 10 minutes from your busy schedule to meditate. This will lower your stress and improve your overall health. Put your phone on airplane mode or silent and set it aside, sit straight with crossed legs and close your eyes, focusing on your breath. Feel it go in and out. Let thoughts come and go. Relax through them and keep breathing.
3) Use an Herbal Rinse
Packed with plant nutrients, an herbal hair rinse is the perfect way to nourish and condition your hair. After shampooing, I usually follow-up with an herbal infusion. My favorite is reetha-shikakai rinse. But you can create your own depending on your hair’s need. You can choose one or more of the following hair nourishing herbs: chamomile, amla, shikakai, hibiscus, rosemary, marigold, lavender, fenugreek (methi), lemon, orange, amla, sage, reetha, horsetail, nettle and mint.
4) Food you should eat
4) Food you should eat
If you are getting enough sleep and are not stressed try exploring your eating habits. Make sure you are getting enough iron, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Your daily diet should contain the following:
• 10 servings of vegetables
• 2-4 servings of fruits
• 4-5 total servings of beans and dairy or 2-3 servings of lean meat
• Eggs, fish, nuts, walnuts, avocado, and seeds
• Don’t eat the same thing every day. Plan some variety into your menu to keep you satisfied and get different nutrients.
6) wide tooth wood comb
Fine comb can hurt the delicate new growth and also cause abrasions on your scalp. Where as wide tooth wood comb are more gentle (compared to the plastic ones) on your hair and scalp. Wide tooth comb also provide massaging effect and help distribute sebum (natural oil) from the scalp to hair.
So If you want healthy mane, then discard the fine/sharp tooth plastic comb and replace it with a wide tooth wood comb. And well-done if you have already done it
7) Flax seeds
A daily dose of flax seeds will keep you and your hair vibrant and beautiful. Flax seeds are loaded with omega-3, copper, selenium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, B vitamins, and amino acids – these nutrients are important for healthy hair growth and strength.
How to eat? Sprinkle some ground flax seed on your salads, or make flax seed chutney, which you can add to your sandwiches, stuffed bread (paratha), etc. You can also add them to your smoothies, or when making bread/naan/rotis. Or simply eat a spoonful as a snack.
8) Curd
Curd is the best remedy for hair loss. This may also gives smoothie hair. Curd not only prevents hair loss but also gives shiny hair. You can combine curd with mustard seeds (paste) or black peeper and curd or curd in honey (moisturizer). Apply to the hair and shampoo it after 30 minutes. It looks like a hair mask.
9) Licorice root
Licorice is the herb that helps in preventing the hair loss and damage. It consists of mollifying properties that opens the pores, get rid of irritations and soothe the scalp. Dandruff is also the cause of hair loss and leads to baldness so follow this remedy and make use of licorice root. Add licorice root to required milk. Mix it well and apply to the bald patches at bedtime. Leave it overnight and shampoo in the morning.
10) Amla
In Indian cultures, amla or Indian gooseberry is considered as hair tonic. Amla is an antioxidant having high content of vitamin C, minerals, amino acids, flavonoid and tannins. Eating fresh or dried amla is purported to stop hair loss, reverse graying, and promote stronger and healthier growth. Due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, applying raw amla juice or amla powder or amla oil on to your scalp will help with dandruff and soothe irritated scalp.
Ways to use: Amla juice with coconut oil or amla oil for a head massage. You can also use amla powder in a hair pack. But the most effective option is to eat fresh or dried amla every day. I have another good option – I take 1tsp amla powder with a glass of water every morning – It’s one of the best detox drink you can find.
