5 Powerful DIY Hair Growth Treatments

1. Vinegar rinse

Most women avoid using such an acidic product to their hair, but the thing is that the pH level of hair is between 3.5 and 5.5. That means that most alkaline hair care products tend to throw it off balance. Vinegar rinse helps to restore that pH balance and makes you hair stronger

and healthier. Just mix 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water and use it as a final rinse for beautiful hair.

2. Castor oil Castor oil is very popular for promoting quick hair growth. Since it’s very thick and a bit greasy, I recommend you to mix the castor oil with your conditioner or with almond oil to avoid too much hassle. Sure, you may apply it directly, but make sure you have enough time for the oil

3. Banana mask Banana is packed with vitamin A, C and E, which are all needed for healthy growth and strong hair. While it seems impossible to eat bananas all the time, because of its high calorie content, you can always make a mask. Take a ripe banana, mash it into paste and then apply

4. Egg mask Eggs are an important ingredient in many hair growth treatments. For your own homemade treatment, take an egg, beat it well, add a quarter cup of mayonnaise and a quarter cup of yogurt and mix it all well. It must look like a smooth foamy paste.

Now, apply the mixture to your hair and cover it with a shower cap. Leave on for an hour and then rinse with cool water and mild shampoo.

5. Almond oil Perhaps, this is the simplest hair growth treatment. All you need to do is to take a tablespoon of almond oil and massage it thoroughly into your scalp and hair. For a better result, do it at night before going to sleep, and the next morning shampoo your hair as usual and wash it off.
