Lemon Juice for Hair Growth

Hair loss is one thing no one is ever prepared to deal with. The more it happens, the more it stresses us out, and apparently stress is one of the reasons to lose hair in the first place. On the other hand, some of us just have a slow rate of hair growth, and what is needed is a little stimulation to act up and grow at a better pace.

Lemon juice is a great natural remedy for the hair, because it consists so many nutrients that you really don't need other shampoos, conditioners, or other high-end hair care serums or similar products. Sometimes, natural products do better wonders for the hair than do products purchased off the shelf.

Lemon juice is enriched with vitamin C, a nutrient essential for healthy, strong hair. It also contains phosphorus and other important minerals that help strengthen hair so that it falls and breaks lesser. Do keep in mind that the remedies mentioned will take a little time to work and you shouldn't lose patience when utilizing them.

For hair growth with lemon juice, avoid chemically loaded hair styling products and equipment such as hair irons, hair dryers and hair curlers. Let your hair regain the nourishment slowly. With that said, here's a look into the ways in which you can use lemon juice for hair loss problems and stimulate hair growth.

Rinse your hair with full bowl of fresh lemon juice. Pour it on your head and rub into the scalp allowing it to cover your hair. Let it remain for a minute and wash it off with lukewarm water. This strengthens your hair and clears the dandruff that causes hair loss, makes the scalp inflamed and itchy thereby weakening the hair root.

Combine 3 parts of Aloe Vera gel or juice with 1 part of fresh lemon juice and apply it on your scalp. Allow it to remain on for about 10-15 minutes. Wash it off with a mild shampoo. Aloe Vera is also a great stimulant for hair growth and combined with lemon will work wonders for it.

Crack an egg in a bowl, add 12 drops of lemon juice to it and mix properly. Apply this on the scalp after a head wash with a mild shampoo, let it stay for 5 minutes and rinse it off. Proteins in the eggs strengthen your hair while the lemon clears your scalp of impurities aiding healthy hair growth. Also, egg white and lemon juice help strengthen your hair.

1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice combined with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil should be massaged into the scalp at least an hour before you wash your hair. This is a very good home remedy to stimulate hair growth.

If you find it difficult to find coconut oil you may use olive oil instead and combine with lemon juice and the yolk of one egg. Olive oil nourishes the hair and makes it thicker, the egg gives your hair a beautiful sheen, and the lemon juice cleanses your scalp and provides it the vitamin C, it needs to keep the hair healthy.

Another great oil that will work wonders with lemon juice is Amla oil. Combine both in equal parts and massage your scalp thoroughly with the mixture. This helps reduce hair fall and allows hair to grow beautifully.

The reason lemon juice is combined with egg and oils and other such natural moisturizers is because it has the ability to dry out the scalp. If you have an oily scalp you may use lemon juice only. However, if you already have a dry scalp, use lemon juice in the aforementioned combinations to make the most of this wonder product.
