6 New Home Remedies for Quick Hair Growth 

from www.becomegorgeous.com

There are numerous practical and pocket-friendly means to guarantee the thick and healthy texture of your locks. If you're lusting after long and luscious strands, you'll be able to have them with the following 6 new home remedies for quick growth. Hit the grocery store and purchase organic ingredients to protect the follicles from the damage caused by harsh chemicals. Ditch cosmetics for the sake of rapid hair growth and prepare the most nutritive treatments using veggies, fruits and natural oils.

1. Cinnamon, Garlic and Red Onion Hair Rinse

  • Prepare a revitalizing hair rinse using these natural ingredients. Grab a bowl and fill it with hot water, add 4 cloves of garlic, 2 cinnamon sticks and a red onion cut into tiny pieces. Leave the mixture boil for 15 minutes. Let the infusion cool down and wash your locks with it. Repeat this ritual for four days in a row and see the magical effect of this organic treatment. 

  • 2. Honey and Aloe Vera Gel Treatment

  • Combine these two vitamin-rich ingredients in a soothing recipe. Scrape off the gel of 3 Aloe Vera leaves and mix it with 2 tbs of honey.

    Apply the treatment on your scalp and massage it into your roots. Leave the hair pack on for 20 minutes then finally wash it off with lukewarm water. Repeat this ritual more times per week for quick and visible results.

  • 3. Cactus Hair Treatment

  • Choose this natural remedy to solve your hair loss dilemmas. The first step towards accelerating hair growth is to cut 4-5 cactus leaves into tiny pieces. Put these in pure water and leave them there to soak overnight.

    Use a spray bottle to apply the toner on your scalp and hair roots. Leave the locks dry naturally without washing off the cactus toner. Make sure you apply the toner on your scalp at least once a day.

  • 4. Potato, Egg Yolk and Honey Treatment

  • Mix three of these popular ingredients used in beauty care to boost the growth of your healthy locks. First extract the juice of three medium-sized potatoes. In a bowl mix the juice with 1 egg yolk and 2 tsp of honey. Apply the hair pack on your wet locks and massage the treatment in your scalp. Leave the mixture on for 25 minutes, then wash it off with tepid water.

  • 5. Nettle Hair Treatment

  • This time you have to cheat a little bit and use a not 100% natural ingredient to provide your scalp with the best energy-boosting hair treatment. Mash two bunches of nettles and place the herb in 1 liter of vodka for no less than 1 week. You must wait a few days until the mixture becomes appropriate for application. After the week passed you'll be able to massage this treatment into your scalp either with your fingers or a cotton ball. Leave the tincture on for 20-30 minutes then rinse it off with warm water. Keep on experimenting with this beauty ritual to notice the dazzling results.

  • 6. Onion and White Rum

  • This time use a revolutionary treatment to accelerate the growth of your locks. In a medium bowl chop an onion into tiny pieces. Add 1 cup of white rum to the onion and give 24 hours for the ingredients to mix and form a fabulous treatment for your thin locks. The next day eliminate the onion pieces from the mixture and massage the solution into your scalp. Use a cotton ball or your fingers to ease the task of your follicles to absorb the lotion. Leave the hair pack on for 30 minutes then wash it off with lukewarm water.

    My Thoughts

    These are not really alternative medicines but great options, anyway.

    Which one's your favorite? 

    Mine is the cinnamon and ginger and onion.  Mainly because I love these three ingredients.  Although I'm not too keen on the smell of onions in my hair.  Maybe the smell of the cinnamon and the ginger will win over the onion smell.  I've seen these two ingredients in some shampoos.  But onions? 


    On second thought, maybe I should go for aloe vera and honey.


    You know what?  I just remembered banana peel.  It's great for waxing the hair.  And that's not in the list.
