Grow hair while you sleep

With our hectic lifestyle in motion, taking care of our skin and hair usually takes a backseat. But what if you could aid hair growth overnight and enjoy long and soft locks over time? This sounds too good to be true, but it’s possible with these hair growth treatments, which work quietly while you sleep. These century-old haircare treatments, if used correctly and left overnight, can improve scalp condition, decrease breakage, and stimulate new hair growth. So, get ready for the ultimate bedtime haircare routine and include any one of these DIY treatments that works the best for you.

2/5

Coconut and castor oil treatment

Coconut oil is filled with fatty acids that intensely nourish our scalp and hair shafts. It slows down the protein loss and keeps the locks strong and less susceptible to breakage. Rich in antibacterial properties, it also keeps the environment infection-free. On the other hand, blending a hint of castor oil promotes faster hair growth and increases the volume in the long run, as it is rich in ricinoleic acid. Heat both the oils, blend them, and massage them onto your scalp. Let it stay overnight and see the change over time.

3/5

Rosemary oil and fenugreek powder

The combination of rosemary oil with fenugreek powder is believed to boost hair growth by nourishing the hair follicles, improving scalp circulation, and overall strengthening the locks. It stimulates blood flow, whereas fenugreek provides protein and iron and gives intense hydration to the locks, reducing breakage, which promotes thicker and darker hair. Blend the combination and apply it twice a week at night.

4/5

Onion oil with aloe vera

Onion oil with aloe vera can promote hair growth by nourishing the scalp, as this combination has ingredients like sulfur from onion and calming enzymes from aloe vera. This blend stimulates growth and works miraculously on people surviving with alopecia and hair thinning. This combination also nourishes, strengthens, and moisturises the locks and can easily be used twice a week. However, look out for the strong smell of onion.

5/5

Olive oil and coconut oil

Coconut oil and olive oil are perfect for hair health, as this combination deeply moisturises your locks, fights dandruff, reduces breakage, and improves overall shine, which indirectly creates an environment for hair growth. This blend will not magically lead to new roots, but it first nourishes the properties, strengthens the strands, and prevents loss and split ends, and then penetrates deep into the cuticles for better stimulation, which leads to effective hair growth.
