When it comes to curls, there are a lot of tips and tricks out there designed to help you grow your curls longer. However, not all of these tips actually work. Since hair naturally grows at a rate of about 1/2 inch per month, you might find your curls need some extra encouragement. Fortunately, there are easy ways to encourage your curls to grow. Here’s how you can help your curls grow at home. You don’t need any fancy products or salon visits!
How You Can Help Your Curls Grow At Home
Coconut oil:
Regularly using coconut oil can help prevent the loss of protein from your strands. This means your curls will be less likely to fall, or to break. You can apply coconut oil directly to your strands, allow it to sit for 60 minutes, and remove with warm water and a gentle shampoo.
Indian gooseberry:
This is one we haven’t talked about often. It promotes growth by encouraging extension of the anagen phase of hair growth. Take Indian gooseberry or amla oil and massage it directly into your scalp. Allow it to sit for 60 minutes before removing with shampoo and warm water.
Yogurt:
This is another underrated but useful product most people have available right in their fridge. Yogurt is chock full of probiotics, which helps healthy curls grow while minimizing curl loss. The easiest way to reap the benefits of yogurt is to enjoy a bowl of it daily. Add healthy, antioxidant rich fruits like blueberries in order to help keep your cells healthy.
Fenugreek:
This relatively well known supplement has great benefits, including encouraging curl growth. Regular use of fenugreek will significantly reduce curl fall and help strands grow longer. Soak 1/4 cup of fenugreek seeds in 2 cups of water. Drain any excess water, and grind the seeds to create a paste. Apply the paste throughout clean strands like you would any other curl care mask. Allow it to sit for 45 minutes before rinsing and following up with your favorite conditioner.
