Looking for natural and best home remedies for hair growth and thickness? I have compiled a list of the best hair growth methods, natural hair masks, and every single thing that helped me in my hair growth journey.

Since I started my Reader’s Queries Series, most queries are by people who are looking for best home remedies for hair growth. If you are digging the internet too for finding the best home remedies for hair growth, then this is the post for you.

Home Remedies For Hair Growth

These are my tried and tested home remedies that helped me to grow my hair longer and thicker.

The Hot Oil Treatment

Yes, this again.

I can’t stress enough how much this helped me trigger my hair growth.

If you are really looking for the best home remedies for hair growth, you need to pamper your hair and scalp with the hot oil treatment.

No Exceptions. 

Do regular hot oil treatments using the best hair oils for hair growth and a combination of penetrating oils and sealing oils. If you cannot keep the oil overnight then at least keep it for half an hour but please don’t skip it.

The hot oil actually helps in enhancing the nutrients of the oil and when you do a gentle scalp massage following the inversion method, it stimulates blood circulation which helps in faster and thicker hair growth.

Here is a study that shows how scalp massages benefit with thicker hair growth.

Usually, you can use any oil that suits your hair type for the hot oil treatment but I have a personal favorite mix of oils that actually helped me achieve thicker hair.

No products found.

These leaves not only makes your hair grow faster but also soothe your scalp. To use these simply heat 2 tsp coconut oil or olive oil and add a few neem leaves and curry leaves to it.

Heat on a low flame until the leaves turn brown. Now let it cool down.

Strain it and apply this oil regularly.

This works great for fighting hair loss too.

Neem leaves also help to remove hard water deposits from your hair which helps your hair and scalp breathe and absorb other home remedies for hair growth better. You can also use neem oil directly or opt for coconut oil with the curry leaves recipe here.

Home Remedy For Hair Growth Using Fenugreek

I love using fenugreek for hair growth.

I use it for making fenugreek oil for combating hair loss and faster hair regrowth. I use it to make a hair rinse for hair growth and I even use it as a hair mask.

If you are looking for an extremely fast hair growth home remedy, then I would recommend you to go with this one.

It’s my favorite and honestly the most effective one too. The only downside of this hair mask is that it smells a bit bitter. But you will notice the difference in your hair from the very first time.

Method

1. Soak Fenugreek seeds overnight in water.
2. The next morning blend the soaked seeds into a fine paste.
3. Strain this paste using a muslin cloth. (Don’t skip this step, otherwise, you will be stuck in the bathroom trying to remove the little chucks from your hair.)
4. Now apply this hair mask generously to your hair and scalp. Cover with shower cap and leave it on for two hours.
5. Wash your hair with just water first and then follow it up with your shampoo and hair conditioner as usual.

Coconut Milk and Honey

Coconut milk is extremely rich in moisturizing and healing properties. It works like a charm for faster hair growth. Give it a try, you will love it.

If you are in hurry, just mix the coconut milk with rose petal powder, and honey and apply it to your hair. This will not only make your hair grow faster but will eventually help in making your hair straight too.

Check out the complete recipe for coconut milk and rose petals hair mask here. This is one of the best home remedies for hair growth.

Hibiscus Flowers

If you are a regular reader of HCS, you already know my love for hibiscus.

That little flower has the power to completely change your hair in just 2-3 tries. I use it for making my hibiscus hair oil for hair growth, my hair mask to cover gray hair and whatnot. 

The simplest way to use hibiscus for hair growth is simply to grind this flower and yogurt and make a hair mask. This hair mask has proved really effective for me. It actually controls hair fall and covers your gray hair too.

Onion Juice For Hair Growth

Onion juice is an ingredient that can skyrocket your hair growth.

As per a study conducted in 2018, by Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics which showed promising results and faster hair growth by using onion for hair. Also as per 2014 study, researchers found that onion juice can be an effective treatment for alopecia aerta.

I use it whenever my hair feels a bit limp or I feel the weather change has been too harsh for my hair.

I use it with castor oil and bhrigraj oil. This helps in covering up the pungent smell too. 

But if you’re in hurry, the simplest way to use onion for hair is to extract onion juice and simply apply it directly to your scalp and use your shower cap. Keep the mask on for 25 minutes and then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

I can absolutely guarantee, that if you do this regularly, i.e. every week, then you will see an incredible speed in your hair growth. This works great for male pattern baldness too.

Aloe Vera

If we are talking about ways to grow hair faster, we have to mention this natural herb for hair growth, aka, Aloe Vera.

The reason being aloe vera is a blessing of nature for our hair and skin. There are a lot of different ways you can use aloe vera for hair growth but my top suggestions would be to use it as follows:

Aloe Vera and coconut oil hair mask for hair growth: Just take freshly extracted aloe vera gel and blend it along with coconut oil until you get a thick paste. Apply it directly onto your hair and leave it overnight or at least for half an hour. 

Wash your hair with water and follow it up with your favorite shampoo and conditioner. This hair mask works really well because:

Aloe Vera and honey hair mask for hair growth: Simply scoop out the fresh gel mix it with honey and apply it directly onto your hair and scalp. Leave overnight and wash it off the next morning.

This will not only make your hair grow faster but will also make them healthy and shiny. This is my secret to overnight glossy hair.

Fenugreek and Aloe Vera Hair Mask: I use it to make a hair rinse by mixing it with fenugreek seeds. It also works great for frizzy hair. Check out the detailed recipe for fenugreek and aloe vera hair mask here.

Egg White And Lemon Hair Mask

Do you remember this post where I shared the egg and lemon hair mask for hair growth? This is my childhood friend’s grandma’s recipe. This home remedy for hair growth does deliver results.

Even if you do it at least once a month, it helps in making your hair stronger and healthier. Do check out the recipe for egg white and lemon hair mask for hair growth here.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar is one of the best home remedy for hair growth. I use it each time I wash my hair.

To use ACV, simply dilute 1 tsp of ACV into 1Cup of water and take the final hair rinse with it. I usually let it stay in my hair and don’t rinse it with normal water. The reason is the ACV controls and maintains the pH of our scalp, removes product and sebum build-up, and thus triggers growth inside out.

If you are not using ACV yet, then you need to start using it.

Banana and Honey

Banana and honey are loaded with nutrients and have extremely moisturizing properties. They actually make your hair soft and nourished from within. I usually make a banana hair mask that not only helps in moisturizing my dry hair but also gives the effect of a hair spa at home.

Ingredients

• Banana
• Honey
• Yogurt
• Coconut oil

Water

Yes, you heard it right!

Our good ole Plain water. 

Water plays a crucial role in your hair’s overall health.

Start drinking more water at least 12-15 glasses per day and it would pay off. The more the merrier. Drinking water helps in flushing out toxins from your body and improves your overall health. 

I drink a glass of water every 45-50 minutes and it helped me so much. It made my skin clear and moisturized my dry hair from within.

These are my personal tried and tested home remedies for hair growth. These all have worked great for me. Do give them a try and they will surely work for you too.

Along with these home remedies for hair growth, make sure you switch from plastic combs to wooden combs, practice meditation for hair growth, include Balayam in your daily routine and fish oil supplements in your daily diet and have a good sleep every night.
