8 Best Ways to Regrow Your Hair Naturally

Hair Fall
Hair fall is a natural process and almost everyone sheds hair on a daily basis. However, ‘hair loss’ happens when new hairs don’t replace the lost hairs or you begin shedding more hair than usual. Anyway, the good news is, yes! You can regrow hair.
To regrow the lost hair, you should also know the cause of the excess hair fall or why the new hair is not growing. How to cure hair loss depends on what is causing it. Treating the cause will cure your hair loss. There are many causes, from vitamin deficiencies to hormone changes, stress, lack of sleep, smoking, thyroid problems, and menopause as well.
How to regrow hair naturally?
Without indulging you in intense details, here are some ways to help in hair regrowth.
Head Massage
Head massage is one of the most important rituals for attaining healthy hair and scalp. It improves blood circulation and drains away toxins from the scalp. You can head massage without using oil, but the most preferred way is with oil. The best oils for hair are coconut, sesame, almond, olive, and castor (diluted with another oil). For healthier and more robust, head massage at least once a week.
Fingernails Rubbing
Rubbing your fingernails briskly against each other for about 10 minutes daily stimulates hair growth and makes your hair healthy and strong. This is an ancient technique and works similarly to reflexology – through energy channels. Many anecdotal claims support the positive results, and there are many proponents and followers of this ancient practice. Some have even claimed hair regrowth in bald areas.
Eat Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are loaded with omega-3, copper, selenium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, B vitamins, and amino acids – these nutrients are essential for healthy hair growth and strength.
Exercise
As always, exercising is also important to healthy hair. When you exercise, you sweat, and that unclogs the hair follicles – that get clogged by dead skin and grease – giving enough space for the new hair to grow. Exercising also increases blood flow to your scalp. The increased blood flow brings with it more nutrients and more oxygen, thereby promoting healthy hair growth.
Amla
In Indian cultures, Amla is considered as a hair tonic. It is an antioxidant with a high content of vitamin C, minerals, amino acids, flavonoids, and tannins. Eating fresh or dried amla is purported to stop hair loss, reverse graying, and promote stronger and healthier growth.
Protein and Iron
Hair is mainly composed of protein, and a lack of protein will slow hair growth and even cause hair loss. Iron is another essential nutrient for healthy hair growth. It transports oxygen to our cells, which also includes hair cells. And too little oxygen affects hair growth. So ensure you’re eating enough protein and iron in your diet.
Herbal Rinse
Herbal hair rinse is a great way to nourish and condition your hair. After shampooing, apply a hair rinse and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with plain water. I would suggest orange and lemon rinse. It needs no preparation and is extremely simple and easy to make. Plus, you will also notice less shedding. Best herbs to make a hair rinse are chamomile rosemary, marigold, lavender, fenugreek (methi), lemon, amla, orange, sage, and mint.
Don’t Stress Yourself
Hair fall also takes place when you take much stress. Thus, avoiding stress would help reduce hair fall. Moreover, being happy and stress-free would more likely make your hair healthier and impact the growth of the hair.
