About This Article
To regrow your hair naturally, avoid washing it every day, which strips away your hair's natural oils, and use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner on the days when you do wash it. Cut down on your use of heat-styling tools as much as possible to prevent damage that disrupts healthy growth. Also, massaging your scalp for a few minutes each day can stimulate blood flow around your hair follicles and encourage growth. For tips on using essential oils to stimulate growth, read on!
