 Most over-the-counter hair growth treatments contain minoxidil, a chemical which only works as long as the treatment is being used. As soon as the treatment stops, hair growth stops too. Personally, my hair is slow growing, so it takes months to grow just a few inches, so this is the first time in my life where I've had my hair grow this long. There are four phases of hair growth, anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen. Each phase lasts for a different length of time. Anagen is a slow growing phase, and at any time about 90% of the hairs on your head are in this phase, and it can last about three to five years. Catagen is the transition phase where hair follicles shrink and hair growth slows. Telogen is the resting phase, and it typically lasts around three months. And exogen is the shedding phase, so losing 50 to 100 hairs per day during this phase is normal, and it can last about two to five months. Rather than going to a dermatologist or beautician to help boost my hair growth, I went to my pantry. This serum uses a combination of herbs and essential oils that are good for scalp health and hair growth, such as aloe vera, nettle leaf, horsetail leaf, argan oil, jojoba oil, clary sage, lavender, peppermint, geranium, tea tree, cypress, and rosemary essential oil. This DIY hair growth serum recipe helps to nourish the scalp and strengthen hair naturally, without the chemicals and parabens often found in commercial hair products. To make this all-natural hair growth serum, start by bringing one cup of water to a boil, then remove it from heat and add in two tablespoons of dried nettle leaf and two tablespoons of horsetail leaf. Let the herbs steep for around 15 to 20 minutes or until the water cools, then strain out the herbs, they can be composted, and pour the liquid into a glass spray bottle. Add in one tablespoon of argan oil, one tablespoon of jojoba oil, two tablespoons of pure aloe vera gel, ten drops each of clary sage, rosemary and lavender essential oil, eight drops of peppermint essential oil, and four drops each of geranium, cypress and tea tree essential oil, then shake well to combine. This serum lasts up to three months when stored in the fridge, just make sure to shake it well before each use as the ingredients can separate. There are a couple of different ways this spray can be used. The first is to spray generous amounts of the serum onto the roots of your hair one to two times per day. I personally apply this serum onto my hair before going to bed each night and leave it in overnight. The second way is to spray liberal amounts of the serum onto your hair, then massage it into the scalp for three to five minutes. Then let the serum sit for 20 minutes on your hair before washing it out. And that's how you make this all natural hair growth serum. I hope you enjoyed this video tutorial.
