5 Effective Home Remedies for Hair Growth and Hair Loss

Natural remedies are a wonderful option because they are so simple. You don’t have to worry about measuring out the exact dose or accidentally overmedicating yourself. You can use these remedies whenever you need then, and many natural remedies have been used safety for centuries.

Are you looking for some great ways to grow your hair? If so, here’s a look at some effective home remedies you can use for hair growth.

① Remedy #1 – Potato Juice
Potato juice includes important vitamins, such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin B. When you don’t get these vitamins in your diet, hair can become brittle and dry. Using potato juice on hair can actually eliminate the thinning that occurs due to alopecia. Adding honey and egg yolk to the potato juice ensures that your hair gets plenty of moisture.

What to Do:
Grate 3-4 potatoes and squeeze out the juice from it. Massage your scalp with this juice and let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with water and shampoo as usual.

Instead of using the potato juice alone, you can try this hair mask particularly if you have dry, dull hair.

You’ll Need:

• 3 Potatoes
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 tbsp raw Honey

What to Do:

• Grate and squeeze out the juice from potatoes and add honey and egg yolk. Mix well
• Gently massage the mixture on your scalp and let it sit for 30 minutes.
• Rinse it off with your regular shampoo and conditioner if needed.

② Remedy #2 – Onion Juice
Sure, it doesn’t smell the greatest, but it can definitely help improve hair growth. It works because of the high sulfur content, which improves collagen production. Collagen aids in hair regrowth. You can use red onions to make this easy home remedy.

You can read my separate post about onions here.

What to Do:

• Grate 2-3 onions and squeeze out to extract the juice.
• Massage the onion juice into your scalp and let it sit for 30-45 minutes (depends on your time).
• After that, rinse it off with water and use a mild shampoo to get rid of the smell.

Alternative method

If you have zero tolerance for tears and irritation while grating the onions, you can use this trick:

• Boil a 1 liter of water and add the onions (3-4 chopped onions)
• Let it boil for another 5-10 minutes. Turn off the flame and let the mixture cool down
• Once the mixture has cooled down, you can strain the water and use it to wash your hair after using shampoo.
• If you can stand the smell, do not rinse hair with other water that day. You can shampoo your hair the next day and use clean water to wash it off.
• If you can’t stand the smell, at least do not wash off with clean water for an hour. After an hour, you can rinse your hair with clean water and use a mild shampoo
• Onion not only helps in re-growth of hair but also lends your hair with a fabulous sheen.

③ Remedy #3 – Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
Using apple cider vinegar on your hair offers many great benefits. It helps to cleanse your scalp and improves the scalp’s pH balance, improving growth. The apple cider vinegar also helps to stimulate your hair follicles, speeding up hair growth.

What to Do:
Mix ACV and water and use it as a final rinse for your hair each time you shampoo your hair. If you have zero tolerance with the smell, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (such as lavender oil) to your mixture of water and vinegar.
