How to Promote Hair Growth

Although hair does not serve any useful purpose in the body of a human being, it is essential for beauty. All of us would like to have a headful of healthy and luxuriant hair. Consequently, the beauty and cosmetic industry try to outdo themselves by creating hair enhancers like hair tonics as well as hair vitalizers. The growth of hair varies from person to person and is dependent on the genetic build to a certain extent. A healthy diet also helps to keep the hair healthy. However, you can try a few natural products for increasing your hair growth if you are wary of treating your hair with harsh chemicals.

Aloe Vera- Aloe Vera contains an enzyme called superoxide dismutane which nourishes the hair and stimulates it’s growth. The nitric oxide formed by Aloe Vera is also known to  stimulate hair follicles causing rapid growth of hair. You just need to massage it into your scalp daily for effective results. The gel form works much better than  the  pill.

Green Tea- Drinking  Green tea daily can help to promote hair growth as well. If you are not excited by it’s taste you can try the Green Tea capsule instead. The antioxidants present within the tea prevent conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, a hormone known for its balding effects.

Nettle- Stinging Nettle is a hair strengthening agent and can be taken both as an extract or as a pill. Stinging Nettle is a rich source of calcium and vitamins, all of which go a long way in stimulating hair follicles. Daily usage will help you to keep your hair healthy as well as promote its growth.

Wheat Germ Oil- This protein rich extract of the wheat germ is extremely beneficial to health. Massaging it all over the scalp may enhance  hair growth. Localised application of the wheat germ oil over bald spots may actually trigger off the growth of hair in those particular spots too. Storing the oil in a cool place is mandatory  as high temperature degrades the composition.
