We all know that hair doesn't grow 6" overnight (although it would be nice)... but there are a few things you can do that WILL help speed up the process and give you healthy/shiny hair as a bonus!
I read about castor oil and how it helps with hair growth a few months back, unfortunately I haven't been very kind to my hair so I decided to try it for myself! There isn't a visual difference in growth yet (otherwise I would post a before/after) but I can say that my hair looks/feels SO much healthier! I do this treatment once a week and leave it in overnight.
In a small jar with a lid mix together-
2 tbsp. castor oil, 1 tbsp. coconut oil, 1 tsp. avocado oil, 1 tsp. sweet almond oil and 1-2 drops of lavender essential oil.
After evenly mixing the oils, massage gently into your scalp for about 2 minutes moving outward to the ends of your hair. Leave in overnight!
Tips
-To avoid staining your pillowcase use an old pillowcase, towel or a shower cap.
-Comb the oils through your hair after application from scalp to ends to ensure the oils are distributed evenly.
-Heat will help to open the cuticle of the hair which will allow better absorption of the oils. Warm a towel up in your dryer and wrap your hair in it for about 15 minutes!
-For best results do this 1-2x a week!
