If you want to make hair grow faster there are a number of home remedies that can really help you reach that goal? Be sure to consult with your doctor if you have any reason to believe that any of these old folk remedies might actually harm you or your hair growth for any reason.
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
Dilute a cup of apple cider vinegar in a gallon of water and then use it to rinse your hair after every shampoo. The clarifying and healing properties of the vinegar can help your hair grow faster. This type of rinse can also make your hair shinier.
Aloe Vera and Brandy Hair Mask
Squeeze aloe vera gel from fresh leaves into a vial. Mix this with an egg and a glass of brandy and then apply it to your scalp. Leave it on your head for at least an hour (but the longer you leave it on the better) and then wash and rinse it off as usual.
Birth Control Pill Remedy
This is a folk cure and you really should run it by your doctor to make sure it is all right for you to apply to your hair. Grind up four to six birth control pills and then put them in your shampoo or conditioner. Wash and condition your hair as usual.
Cactus Cure
Take the leaves of a cactus and cut into thin slivers. Leave the slivers to steep in two cups of water overnight. Apply the water to your hair and leave it on as long as you possibly can. This not only will encourage your hair to grow faster, it will also make it more manageable and shinier.
Flax Seed Tincture for Thicker Hair Regrowth
Put two ounces of flax seed in twelve ounces off water and let the seeds soak for five days. Then dab the solution onto your scalp daily using a cotton ball. You can do this every day to encourage your hair to grow back thicker and shinier.
Grapeseed oil Massage
Give your scalp a massage every night with grapeseed oil to encourage your hair to grow faster.
Honey and Olive Oil Hair Growth
To encourage your hair to grow combine 1 egg, a teaspoon of olive oil and two tablespoons honey. Massage your scalp vigorously with your fingers and then leave the mixture on your hair for half an hour. Wash your hair as normal.
Lavender Oil for Growth and Thickness
Mix six drops of pure lavender oil into six ounces of jojoba oil. Massage the oil into your scalp to encourage your hair to grow.
Lemon Juice and Onion Remedy
Not only does this simple concoction speed up hair growth it helps the hair that does grow back to come back thicker. To make this you take equal parts lemon juice and onion juice and then massage your scalp with it. Leave it on your head for about five minutes and then rinse it out.
This works because of the clarifying and disinfecting qualities of the lemon is combined with the stimulating effects of the onion to increase circulation to the scalp. The result is new hair growth that is thicker and stronger and also capable of growing longer.
Nettle Cure for Hair Regrowth
Mash two large bunches of nettles in one liter of vodka for a week. Then massage the scalp once a week with the resulting tincture.
Neutral Henna
Neutral henna does not color the hair. It nourishes it and helps it grow faster and thicker. Mix up the henna in warm water as you might normally and then add a couple of drops of lemon and a tablespoon of yogurt.
Potato Water Cure
After you have boiled potatoes keep the water. Then take it and rinse your hair with it to encourage new hair growth.
Rosemary and Vodka Hair Restoring Lotion
Deposit one ounce of rosemary and one ounce of burdock into a 16 ounce bottle of vodka. The herbs can be dried or fresh.
Let the solution stand for ten days. Then apply it to your scalp daily. You should see hair regrowing after four months. At the four month point only use it twice a day.
The Tomato, Aloe and Mayonaisse Hair Mask
Mix up two tablespoons of aloe vera freshly squeezed from the leaves and then mix it with three quarters of a cup of mayonnaise and finely chopped tomato. Apply all over the head just before bed-time. Wrap it securely with saran wrap and a plastic cap to make sure it does not run off onto your bedding. Rinse the mixture out of your hair in the morning.
White Rum and Mango Leaves
This ancient Caribbean remedy for hair loss involves adding eight leaves from a mango plant to one liter of white rum. Leave this mixture outside in the sun for fifteen days, picking the jar up once a day to give it a good shake.
After fifteen days you can mix one cup of this hair growth solution with a cup of warm water and massage it into your hair. Do this once a week.
White Rum and Onion Cure
Chop up an onion into very fine bits and add to one cup of rum. Let this mixture stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Strain the onion out of the mixture and massage your scalp vigorously with the solution.
Vodka and Jalapeno Remedy
In a ceramic bowl, chop up a jalapeno pepper into very small pieces. Add half of a cup of vodka and let it stand for several days. Strain this mixture and then add two tablespoons of castor oil.
Pour into a clean bottle and shake well before massaging the mixture into your hair. Cover hair with a plastic cap and then wear it all night. Rinse it out and wash your hair as usual in the morning.
Of course one of the oldest and surefire ways to grow hair faster is to become pregnant with a male baby. The hormones that are released as a result make your hair grow faster than any supplement or vitamin ever could!
