Organic Hair Treatment for Longer Hair

Color treated hair, hair styled with heat and using shampoos and conditioners with chemicals can lead to slow hair growth, hair damage and split ends. What is more annoying than not having the luscious locks you want? The good news is there is something you can do about it! If you want to repair damaged hair and help your locks grow, I recommend trying this Organic Hair Treatment for Longer Hair.

I have been using this 3 ingredient hair treatment mask for a year. I decided to chop my hair to shoulder length and immediately regretted it (see pic below.) I started letting my hair naturally air dry to limit heat usage and began applying the organic hair mask a few times a week. My hair grew back to its original length pretty quick!

DIY Hair Mask Ingredients

There are 3 key ingredients for this Organic Hair Treatment for Longer Hair: castor oil, vitamin E oil and jojoba oil. I highly recommend using organic ingredients to drastically reduce or eliminate chemicals from pesticides or unwanted preservatives, which can further damage hair. Before we jump into the recipe let’s chat more about the ingredients.

Castor Oil

Castor oil is a long chain fatty acid with essential vitamins and minerals for hair health. Castor oil is a humectant, meaning it retains moisture, creating an ideal environment for new hair growth. When you apply the oil to your scalp the nutrients seep into your hair follicle nourishing and strengthening your locks.

Vitamin E Oil

Vitamin E oil can foster hair growth if you are looking to lengthen your locks in addition to restoring hair health. According to this Healthline article, vitamin E reduces oxidative stress in the scalp and improves blood circulation, both of which can stimulate growth. Vitamin E adds a protective layer back to hair that will help shield it from future damage and increase shine.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is another nutrient rich oil making it an excellent ingredient to protect against split ends while moisturizing hair. Regularly using jojoba oil strengthens your hair and adds a moisture rich barrier.
