How to Grow Hair Longer & Lustrous

Healthy hair is achieved through many sources. Diet plays an important part in the appearance of hair, skin and nails. Hair growth is slowed by factors such as a heavy intake of refined foods or smoking. Improve diet and habits and then move to some homemade hair recipes consisting of items found in the cabinet, the grocery store and even the liquor store. Make a few natural solutions to stimulate growth and increase luster.

Things You'll Need

• Glass bowl or pot
• ¾ cups of vodka
• 2 jalapeno peppers
• 3 tablespoons of castor oil
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• Plastic wrap

Instructions

1. Finely chop jalapeno peppers and place in a glass bowl or pot. These peppers prevent hair loss and stimulate growth and strength.

2. Pour ¾ of a cup of vodka over the peppers and let sit for a couple of days. Strain vodka to remove peppers and pour 3 tablespoons of caster oil into a clean bottle and add tonic.

3. Before bed, pour a small amount into palms and massage into scalp. Caster oil adds luster and shine and vodka increases circulation.

4. Another moisturizing hair mask is 1 cup of mayonnaise mixed with 1 egg. Saturate hair and wrap with plastic.

5. Leave this mixture in hair for 15 minutes and shampoo as usual. Use when hair feels dry and brittle.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to wash hands immediately after use. A slight tingle will occur with first hair mask. Vodka is a trick that the Russians use to increase circulation and help hair regrow in bald areas. Protein found in eggs boosts body and shine. Mayonnaise restores moisture lost in hair by coloring and/or styling.

• Avoid contact with eyes. Do not substitute oil in first mask as castor oil is alcohol soluble. Do not rinse egg and mayonnaise mask with hot water or the egg will scramble.
