Hair growth depends on both external and internal factors. You need to balance both in order to have healthy hair. Exercise regularly and pay attention to what you eat, as a poor diet will affect the health of your hair. Avoid eating oily, spicy, refined and processed food. Have a diet that is rich in proteins. Eat fresh and healthy home cooked food. Ensure that you do not have a vitamin or a mineral deficiency. Besides this you can use the following home remedies to promote hair growth:
Grate fresh coconut cream or puree it in a blender (avoid the brown part). Next add a little water to it and blend well. Strain and massage the coconut milk into your scalp. Leave on for about half an hour and then wash off with tepid water. Make sure your scalp is clean before doing this, or you could do this after your shampoo. Do this at least 3 times a week to promote healthy hair growth. Coconut milk is rich in proteins and deeply nourishes and strengthens hair roots and promotes healthy hair growth.
Try a nourishing hair mask made from beer, eggs, banana and honey. Mash one ripe banana; add 1 tablespoon of honey to it along with 1 egg and half a cup of flat beer. Mix well or run through a blender. Apply this liberally all over your scalp and also coat the length of your hair. Cover your hair using a shower cap. Leave on for about an hour and a half and then wash off with plain water using very mild or baby shampoo. Eggs and banana deeply nourish your hair. Honey provides intense moisture while beer adds volume and body to your hair. This is an extremely nourishing mask that makes your hair super strong, shiny and healthy with lots of volume and bounce. Do this at least once every two weeks.
Finely grate one large onion. Extract the juice and massage this directly onto your scalp till it starts to tingle. Follow with a honey massage. Leave on for half an hour and wash off with plain water. Do this daily for a month. Onion juice stimulates the hair follicles and promotes hair growth and honey nourishes and moisturizes it.
Soak two teaspoons of fenugreek seeds for 24 hours and swallow these at bedtime with a glass of warm water. Do this daily. This will help to keep your system clean and promote thick and healthy growth of hair.
