Homemade masks for fast hair growth

The amount (density) and rate of hair growth in each person are genetically laid down. And it is impossible to accelerate growth more than it is inherent in our body (this has not yet been invented by science). But, hair growth can slow down if your body does not provide hair with nutrients, it lacks building material, this may be due to diet, after surgery, stress, improper hair care ... Against the background of these changes, hair growth slows down, they become dry, brittle, and the scalp, on the contrary, can be oily, and hair loss may even increase. We can make hair grow as fast as possible with proper nutrition, massage, a course of vitamins, purchased growth accelerators and, of course, homemade masks for fast hair growth, which contain only natural ingredients.

Most masks for accelerated hair growth are based on ingredients that irritate the scalp. Masks cause blood flow to the scalp, and already from the blood all nutrients reach the hair roots and nourish them with everything they need.

Healthy hair for normal growth requires the following substances: calcium, chromium, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, silicon, sulfur, zinc and vitamins. The best way to deliver these substances to your hair is through blood.

Therefore, it is very important to eat healthy wholesome food rich in vitamins, micro and macronutrients in order to ensure adequate nutrition of the hair follicles. During the course of hair growth masks, it is advisable to drink another complex of hair vitamins to improve the result.

Don't forget about massage, which will also help speed up hair growth. Scalp massage is enough to give about 5-10 minutes a day (preferably every day), its effects can be enhanced with a couple of drops of essential oil (bey. Ylang-ylang, rosemary, tea tree). The massage will improve blood circulation, which will allow the delivery of nutrients to the hair follicles.

Trim split ends regularly, this will not only give your hair a well-groomed look, but also heal them (it is better to cut your hair on the growing moon).

Also, do not forget about purchased products to stimulate hair growth (after all, manufacturers spend millions of dollars on research to create the "necessary" products for our hair), but carefully look at the composition, because you will apply these products to the scalp and long time.

This article contains the best options for masks that accelerate and stimulate hair growth.

You should not wait for the effect immediately after the first mask, you need to take a course of masks in order to evaluate the result from a particular mask. With regular use (at least once a week), after two or three months you can see progress (good hair growth), and as a bonus, after such masks, the hair will look stronger, healthier and with a natural natural shine.
