Methods that increase my hair growth

Over the past month, I have been searching for ways to decrease hair fall, as such increasing the strength and increase hair growth at the same time.

Me :)

You see, all my life, I thought my hair used to shed extra naturally. So, whenever I combed my hair or loosened it, it would look like a tree in the fall season shedding its leaves.

But then I thought that enough is enough, I started to find hair care options that worked for me. I am happy to say that in the last few weeks or so, my hair has drastically reduced shedding and has grown longer too.
For me, healthy hair is not just about the length, but also the strength.
Hair care is a part of skin care because the scalp needs to be taken care of to ensure a strong foundation for the hair follicles and faster growth of hair strands

Rice water

There has been a massive rave about rice water and how it has helped to revive the hair of so many people. It is a cheap method and effective too (oh la la). All you need is to soak a cup of rice in water and save the starchy water after draining the rice. You can store the water in the fridge or outside and allow to decant.


I usually let it settle and use the thick starch underneath after shampooing and conditioning.


After applying, leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse off afterward. Then continue to with your regular routine.

Oils that increase hair growth

Virgin Olive oil

Virgin olive oil

Barely a few weeks ago, my 3-year old's scalp started to get very dry. I started to wash her hair every other day and I would scrub her scalp and condition it immediately afterward, to no avail.


And then the itch stopped all of a sudden when I started applying olive oil on her scalp.


Now, I braid her hair and it can stay for up to 5 days without her scratching her scalp. All I do is apply olive oil on the scalp every other day after washing or when braided.

'Noa's choice' organic growth oil

This oil comes in a 40 ml bottle and has a dropper that makes it easier to manage the quantity used. The instructions say to use about 10 drops and massage into scalp and/or hair. My hair looks more lustrous than ever. And although it is just 40 ml, it lasts for a long time. I purchased it from Amazon for £18, I have to say it was worth the buy and I am happy.

Shampoos I have used and love

• Aussie shampoo and conditioner
• Mazuri shampoo and conditioner
• TIGI bedhead shampoo and conditioner

This is the brand I use currently, The smell is marvelous, and it makes my hair so soft and easier to manage. I bought them on Amazon for £15, each bottle is 750ml. Can you believe this? 2X750ml for £15. That's an absolute bargain

• 'Olive oil' conditioner

Lots of love

We have to remember that every part of our bodies has life, including the hair. And anything that has life tends to grow when its nurtured with tender love and care. Speak life to your hair and treat it nicely and kindly.
