Long hair tips

While the quality of hair one has is genetic, one can improve its quality as well its growth by various simple methods, starting with a balanced diet, rich in vitamins, zinc and magnesium. You should have plenty of meat, fish, eggs, cod liver oil, fresh fruits and vegetables such as spinach, carrots and capsicum as well as plenty of soya bean and curd. All this helps to reduce hair fall and induce hair growth.


Apart from this, the most popular and effective way to increase hair growth is by regularly massaging your scalp with warm oil to increase blood circulation in the scalp, which in turn induces hair growth. You could use coconut or almond oil, adding a few drops of essential oils of lavender and thyme to enhance the effects of the base oil.

Popular Indian methods of increasing hair growth, include washing you hair with Acacia concinna (Acacai Concinna) or Indian gooseberry (Indian gooseberry) shampoos and rinsing with water which has margosa leaves soaked in it.


You could also massage the scalp with a mixture of raw egg yolk and 2 tbsp of olive oil, leaving it in the hair for an hour before washing it off with shampoo. This is a well known treatment for baldness and has been known to increase hair growth, strengthening and thickening the hair strands. Finally Aloe Vera works as a miracle plant – it can be applied directly to the scalp and left overnight before washing it off, used as a shampoo made with coconut milk and wheat germ oil, or consumed in the form of fresh juice. In any way that Aloe Vera is used, it works marvelously to reduce hair fall and increase hair growth and well as hair quality.
