That can boost hair growth

-

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera contains a gel-like substance inside its leaves and thus is beneficial for improving scalp health. It is loaded with vitamins (more specifical­ly, A, C, and E, which all have antioxidan­t properties), deeply moisturizi­ng, soothing, and antiinflam­matory.

Look for pure aloe vera juice or gel products, and massage them into the scalp before shampooing. You will see the benefits of aloe vera on your scalp right away, noticing an improvemen­t in how it feels and looks after just one use.

Rosemary Oil

The anti-inflammato­ry and antimicrob­ial properties of rosemary oil make it a good choice for those suffering from scalp issues such as itchiness and flaking. In addition, due to its anti-inflammato­ry properties, it can also be beneficial for hair growth, as it helps keep the follicle healthy so that hair can grow.

Apply a few drops of oil to the scalp, massage it for five to ten minutes, and then shampoo immediatel­y afterwards. In about four weeks, you will start to see some effects, and in four months, you can see how it impacts the health of your follicles and possible growth improvemen­ts.

Dandelion Root

When taken orally, dandelion root reduces inflammati­on in the scalp, making it a good supplement for those dealing with inflammato­ry scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. It works well when combined with burdock root, another good detoxifier, as a tea. In ten to fourteen days, you should start seeing results.

Note: Dandelion root may interact negatively with other herbs, so it’s good to consult your doctor if you take other herbal supplement­s.

Saw Palmetto

The saw palmetto plant’s extract is found in many hair supplement­s containing various active ingredient­s.

When taken orally in a concentrat­ed form, the herb does appear to have a positive effect. The nutrients in these berries inhibit DHT (the hormone that causes hair loss) from damaging the hair follicles. Saw palmetto can be helpful for those suffering from male or female pattern baldness. Oral administra­tion is recommende­d, and you’ll likely see the beginnings of some improvemen­t around eight weeks.
