Check these five natural ingredients that will breath the life back into your hair and stimulate growth;
Aloe Vera
First on our list is Aloe vera, a versatile ingredient used for many purposes, including hair growth. Aloe vera is excellent for moisturizing and conditioning the scalp. In addition, it helps with unclogging hair follicles that may be blocked with excess oil. Thus, allowing your scalp to absorb all the nutrients and improve hair growth.
Because of its powerful benefits it is a firm favourite in our formulations and a key ingredient in our Aloe Vera Moisturising Hair Growth Spray which we’ve infused with aloe vera, herbal extracts and plant proteins. It can be used daily on your scalp and hair strands. It also has Peppermint which provides a tingling refreshing sensation to help to soothe the scalp as well as glycerin that functions to hydrate and nourish your hair follicles.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
Many people use Apple Cider Vineger ACV for different purposes, such as weight loss and skin care. Fortunately, ACV is also a great natural ingredient for hair care; it has great healing, clarifying and detangling benefits that aid in boosting hair growth.
ACV contains malic acid- that functions to balance the PH levels and prevents buildup, bacteria, and fungus which contributes to dandruff. In addition, it reduces product buildup and exfoliates the scalp, which improves absorption and hair growth. Our Rosemary Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse allows your hair to breathe by reducing product buildup. Plus, it keeps your hair squeaky clean, and noticeably shiny without the stripping away or dry feeling. Use before you shampoo your hair with our African Black Shampoo or make a saving when purchased as part of our Cleanse Duo set.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a powerful conditioning agent that should be taken for granted, it contains lauric acid, a fatty acid that prevents protein loss and enhances moisture.
It is easily absorbed and good for your scalp’s microbiome – therefore it enriches your scalp and keeps your hair follicles nice and healthy. We love coconut oil’s ability to restore dry and damaged hair and is one of the many reasons we’ve included it in our Fenugreek and Mango Hair Butter and African Black Soap Shampoo.
Rosemary Oil
You may be familiar with Rosemary for its enhancing flavour in cooking but the herb also doubles up as essential oil that supports with impressive hair growth. Rosemary oil can be used to stimulate blood circulation in the scalp and due to its anti-inflammatory properties helps to prevent hair loss. Our Rose Oil is perfect for massaging and oiling the scalp. It can also be applied to edges to help grow back your hair line. Various studies have shown that rosemary oil improves moisture and can help with androgenetic alopecia and other hair loss conditions too.
A few drops in your shampoo and conditioner, will subsequently reduce breakage and achieve more length too.
Honey
Honey has more to offer than its naturally sweet taste; it’s also excellent for replenishing your hair with moisture while helping to retain the moisture content. In addition, honey promotes cell growth, stimulating hair follicles and enhancing hair growth.
Here’s an incredible product with many benefits; our moisturizing African Black soap is infused with honey which is great for maintaining the moisture barrier in your scalp. It also helps with adding shine and combating frizz.
In addition to all these natural ingredients, you must adopt excellent hair care practices such as a good regimen and using the right products for your hair type. Then, all you need is research, and you’ll have incredible results.
