About this Book
Are you sick of the challenges that you face with trying to grow your hair long and healthy?
Do you struggle to retain length and seem to be making no progress on your natural hair care journey?
Do you suffer from thin or see through ends?
Do you suffer from uneven hair growth?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone.
Entire sections in beauty supply stores are devoted to potions, tonics, and miracle cures for black hair, both natural and relaxed. Many of these product offer false promises and many can even cause our hair to become more dry and brittle and provide the opposite effect of what it is said to achieve.
In the past many of use resorted to chemicals, magic treatments, pills, and other hair straining methods to attempt to speed up our hair growth.
There is no miracle concoction that can grow hair overnight, but in this book we provide a number of natural hair mixtures that can be made in the comfort of your own home with the use of products you may already have stored or products that are easy to acquire.
These natural hair treatments have serious potential to improve, encourage, and induce natural hair growth. The following sections explore the uses of oils, herbs, and, yes, food, that will allow your hair to grow healthier, giving you the best chance to reach your hair growth goals once and for all.
Oils for Hair Natural Growth Potions
Oils Often when we think of oil, we may often think of pore clogging oils, or even acne. Oil, depending on the type used, can nourish, clean, strengthen, and stimulate your hair, hair follicles, and scalp, enabling your hair to grow longer and fuller. Oil is often mixed with other ingredients, but can also be used alone. This section will explore the different types of oils, and some choice recipes for natural hair growth.
Almond Oil
Almond oil is loaded with fatty acids that improve the strength and luster of your hair. The oil will also soften hair, which is great news for women with coarser hair. Almond oil is primarily used in hair growth recipes as a secondary ingredient, not the main or base of the recipe, but hair can be treated with almond oil by itself.
Using almond is oil simple. Begin with a tablespoon of the oil and massage into the scalp, working your way down the hair until you reach the tips. Depending on the thickness and existing length of your hair, more oil may be needed.
Once your hair is coated, allow the oil to sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water (or as cold as you can tolerate), and wash as usual.
Castor Oil
There are hordes of people, and certain generations who live and die by the wonders of castor oil. Strangely, the stuff that makes you gag when Grandma forces you to swallow it to make you "regular", actually works really well on hair, and you don't even have to drink it!
Full of Omega-3 fats, castor oil rebuilds hair, allowing new growth, strength, added shine, and thickness. Castor oil can be run through the hair as a leave-in solution to keep hair smooth, used in a hot oil treatment, or as a base in a hair growth recipe.
Oil Treatment First of all, forgo fancy designer castor oils and get the cheap stuff. It's not as refined and has more of the good nutrients you're looking for. To treat your hair, warm about a 1/4 cup gently in a saucepan. Do not boil or overheat, or you will be burned!
Use only as much as you need to lightly coat the scalp. Keep in mind that castor oil is sticky and not easily washed out, so too much will be difficult to remove. Once the oil is massaged into the scalp, cover entire head with a shower cap and tuck hair inside. Allow to sit for a few hours, or sleep with the cap on. After removal, wash and condition hair normally. Use this treatment weekly for best results.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is huge in Asia and the Caribbean, and is quickly catching on in other countries. Coconut oil is one of the most popular oils to use for hair. The oil begins as a solid and must be warmed, either from the heat of your hands and fingers, or in a pan. A terrific natural conditioner, coconut oil can be used alone, blended with other oils, or, most often, a base for a hair recipe. For the best results, use virgin coconut oil because it is not as processed, and has more proteins.
The versatile oil softens hair beginning at the shaft, strengthens, promotes hair growth, and keeps the scalp clean and healthy. It also smells wonderful!
Coconut Oil ShampooIngredients : 2 teaspoons virgin coconut oil
1 Tablespoon Castile soap
1/2 cup distilled water
Directions : Mix ingredients in a bottle. Amounts can be adjusted to make more shampoo. The recipe above is a baseline. Shampoo with mixture as you normally would.
Coconut Oil ConditionerIngredients : 2 Tablespoons virgin coconut oil
1 Tablespoon almond oil
Directions : 1) Warm the coconut oil in a pan to melt it. Add the almond oil and stir. Remove from heat.
2) Coat hair from root to tip in the mixture. Tuck hair into a shower cap and wrap a hot towel around your head. Allow to heat through for 15-20 minutes.
*Tip: A towel warmed in the dryer for 15-20 minutes will be sufficiently heated.
3) Rinse hair thoroughly. Wash and condition hair normally following treatment.
Emu Oil
Popular in Australia, Emu oil is not well known unless you have managed to get a hold of a product containing the oil. Loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, the oil thickens, strengthens, and heals hair ad skin ailments. You're best bet is to find an Emu product via the internet. Be cautious though, unrefined Emu oil can contain bacteria that will make you sick. Stick to refined Emu oil and related products.
If you can get your hands on Emu oil alone, simply use the oil as you would any other for an oil treatment. Coat the hair from root to tip, cover with a shower cap, allow to sit for at least an hour, but overnight would be ideal, rinse thoroughly, and wash hair.
