5 Secrets To Naturally Grow Your Hair
Growing long, healthy hair naturally doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t matter what Hair type you have, it applies to damage, dandruff, type 2b, unhealthy and whatever situation your hair is undergoing.
Anyways, here are 5 secrets to naturally grow your hair, to make it shiny and healthy without any fancy treatments.
1. Use Fermented Rice Water as a Hair Rinse
I used this method and I can attest that it works wonders! Rice water has been used for centuries to strengthen hair. When you ferment it (let it sit a while), it gets even better for your hair, packed with vitamins that can make it stronger and shinier.
How to Do It:
Soak half a cup of rice in two cups of water and leave it for a day or two.
Strain the rice out and keep the water.
After shampooing, pour the rice water over your hair and leave it for 5-10 minutes, then rinse.
I encourage you to do this once a week to help keep your hair stronger and healthier, but if your hair is damaged do this at least twice a week!
2. Stay Hydrated & Drink Water
According to Better Not Younger, “when you do not drink enough water throughout the day, your hair can become dry and brittle.”
Hair follicles where hair growth begins, need water to stay healthy. Proper hydration keeps these follicles nourished, making them stronger and more resilient. When you’re hydrated, your hair stays softer and less likely to break. This means it can grow longer without snapping off.
So, stay hydrated and drink that water girl!
3. Spray Green Tea on Your Scalp
Green tea is loaded with antioxidants that can protect your scalp and keep it healthy, which is important for hair growth. Plus, it’s super easy to use as a spray.
How to Do It:
Brew a strong cup of green tea and let it cool.
Pour it into a spray bottle, spritz it onto your scalp, and massage gently.
Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.
Do this 2-3 times a week to help keep your scalp healthy and support hair growth.
4. Use a Lavender Clay Mask for Your Scalp
“Lavender essential oil protects your scalp against bacteria,” it also keeps your scalp calm from any irritation. Clay helps remove oil and dirt from your scalp. A clean and calm scalp is great for growing healthy hair.
How to Do It:
Mix 2 tablespoons of clay powder (like bentonite clay) with water to make a paste, and add a few drops of lavender oil.
Apply this to your scalp, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse.
Using this every two weeks can help keep your scalp clean and fresh.
5. Try a Head-Down Scalp Massage
Massaging your scalp can improve blood flow, which is good for hair growth. This method just involves leaning forward a bit to get the blood flowing to your head.
How to Do It:
Sit comfortably and lean your head down.
Use your fingertips to gently massage your scalp for 5-10 minutes.
Try this a few times a week to help increase blood flow to your scalp, which supports hair growth; or you can find a local spa place to book yourself an appointment.
These are easy, natural 'secrets' that will help you grow healthier, longer hair over time. Stick with them, and remember to be patient—natural growth takes a little time. Enjoy pampering your hair!
