1. Coriander
You might be more used to eating it alongside carrot in a soup, but coriander is more than just a cooking ingredient: it has also been used for years as a remedy for hair loss. This is because it posesses an abundance of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, B, 12, D and C, and magnesium, calcium and sodium, all of which contribute to hair growth.
Try it yourself: If youβre not a fan of eating the stuff, you can make your own coriander hair mask by blending up coriander leaves and adding water to make a paste. Apply it to your scalp, massaging it in, and leave it for half an hour before washing off. Repeat this once or twice a week to see the herbβs full effects.
2. Cumin
Cumin, the herb you might be familiar with if you make a lot of homemade curries, is rich in iron, anti-oxidants and manganese and also contains other vitamins and minerals.
As well as having multiple general health benefits, cumin plays a big part in hair growth, if consumed regularly. It replenishes the hair system and gives hair a shiny look, and cumin oil extract also aids in the treatment of dandruff.
Try it yourself: if you donβt often incorporate cumin into your diet, you can buy black cumin seed oil for a reasonable price online, such as here. Just make sure you do your research and buy from a trusted website- you donβt want to buy a falsely advertised product.
3. Cinnamon
Cinnamon has always been known for its benefits, which is great, because we love its flavour in cookies and pies (and surely that gives us the excuse to eat more?). Although using cinnamon for hair growth sadly wonβt result in a sudden eruption of hair, it can improve circulation, thus stimulating hair growth.
Try it yourself: One common home remedy is to mix honey and cinnamon for hair loss. The combination of the two stimulates the scalp, which brings circulation to the skin, and improves the flow of nutrient-rich blood to the hair follicles, leading to hair growth.
Simply mix one tablespoon of cinnamon with one tablespoon of honey, stir, and add a little olive oil, stirring until a paste has formed. Add the paste to your scalp, leave for fifteen minutes, then wash off.
