Hair Mask To Double Your Hair Growth In Just 1 Month | DIY Egg Hair Mask
Chances are you put your hair through the wringer. At-home dye jobs, flat ironing, and even the sun's rays can all lead to dry, damaged hair. And when your hair is in this state, it'll break faster than it can grow, leaving you to wonder why it seems like your bob won't ever reach your shoulders.
So how can you make your hair grow faster naturally, without using an actual product? The truth is, there's no overnight solution to promote strength and thickness. Some treatments—like hair growth oils and homemade masks—may hydrate and infuse strands with nourishing ingredients that promote overall health, but "minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine) is the only FDA-approved drug clinically proven to regrow hair," says Dr. Howard Sobel, a board-certified dermatologist in NYC.
The bottom line: If you're suffering from extreme loss or thinning, check in with your dermatologist for help. But if the goal is simply to treat strands to a little TLC at home and possibly see some growth and added volume, these DIY hair masks can help. Bonus: They also bust dry scalp and any resulting dandruff, diminish frizz, and add shine.
Castor Oil Hair Mask
Use it to treat: Dry scalp and dandruff. Celebrity stylist Michelle Cleveland recommends this mask, because castor oil is rich in fatty acids that moisturize and has antimicrobial properties that make it a worthy treatment for dry scalp and dandruff.
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon of castor oil.
Directions: Put cold-pressed castor oil in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds. It should be warm, not hot. Using your fingertips, massage the castor oil into your scalp and down the hair shaft. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse well, then shampoo.
Cinnamon and Coconut Oil
Use it to treat: Thinning and breakage. The spice works to stimulate blood circulation and promote hair growth and strength, while the coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, helping to further repair, says Melissa Peverini, a hairstylist with Cricket.
