If you know us, you know hair treatments are a major part of our routines, and is a key factor in us accelerating our hair growth to 1inch+ a month.
Though we champion our go-to Deep Conditioning Anti-Breakage Protein Treatment for its deeply moisturizing, shedding and breakage-reducing, and hair growth accelerating properties, we wanted to include some other options for you lovelies in case you don’t prefer to use the ingredients we use or simply want to try something new.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of a few hair growth treatments around the internet that we believe will also be amazing for growing long hair at a faster rate:
Naptural 85 Hot Oil Treatment:
Hot oil treatments are known for increasing moisture and adding luster, shine and bounce to the hair. The antioxidant and nutritional properties of the oils in them also help deeply penetrate and strengthen the hair shaft, leading to smoother and softer hair.
If this sounds like something your hair needs, we believe this hot oil treatment from Whitney, our fave OG natural hair guru, will be a great choice for you.
Aloe Vera and Flaxseed Hair Mask
Both Aloe Vera and Flaxseed are known for their highly hydrating properties. So if you struggle to keep your hair moisturized, this may be the treatment for you.
Additionally, they are both rich in vital minerals and nutrients essential for hair growth, like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin e, that will promote stronger hair growth and also give your hair a beautiful shine.
Deep Conditioning Anti-Breakage Protein Treatment
This is our favorite treatment of all time and is a recipe we developed ourselves and have been using for over a decade, to no fail. It helped us hit waist-length, it helped us to unlock 1in+ a month, it helped many in our YouTube community finally experience stronger, thicker and healthier hair and stop seeing excessive breakage.
If you’re looking for an all-inclusive hair treatment, this recipe is a winner. No questions asked.
Onion treatment
Onions are rich, rich, RICH in sulfur, and sulfur is a key mineral in growing healthy, strong, thick and long hair as it is a major component in the makeup of keratin, and as we all know, keratin is a protein that creates the major structural component of our hair.
Using this is quite literally giving your hair follicles the building blocks they need to build you a strong, thick, healthy head of hair.
Tea Rinses
Tea rinses are an underaged way of promoting hair growth because anytime we think of a hair mask, we think of oil, or even food, but rarely ever do we think of water.
In our experience as natural hair consultants, we’ve seen many water-based infusions be even stronger than those with oil-bases.
This does come with its risks, as if your hair is not properly prepped for water-based treatments, they can dry your hair out, and cause breakage and shedding.
But if you know your hair is well-prepped and if you’re up for a challenge to see how much your hair can take (nutritionally), trying a tea rinse may be what you’re looking for.
We included two tea rinses below —one beginner, one advanced— that we know promotes healthy and faster hair growth.
