Olive oil is a natural remedy for plenty of hair, nail, and skin conditions. Chefs love it in dishes, while beauty experts love it in masks and homemade recipes.

You cannot ignore olive oil for hair strengthening: it is a perfect natural moisturizer, containing all the good fatty acids in the world.

It helps you soften and strengthen your tresses, while its antioxidant effect keeps your hair and scalp in perfect health (allowing better hair growth, rejuvenating your strands from the root to the ends etc.)

Olive oil is a very rich source of nutrients, moisturizing the scalp and getting rid of the dry and flaky skin. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

3. Castor Oil

Castor oil is one of the superstars of the natural cosmetic industry. If you really want to learn how to make your hair roots stronger, then it is time to focus on castor oil.

Its main ingredient is the ricinoleic acid – the secret weapon against hair loss. Castor oil is rich in vitamins A, E, and B – all essential for our general health, hair, skin, and nails – and in the good fatty acids that we love so much.

The use of castor oil is probably one of the easiest and fastest ways to get thicker, stronger hair. It has a thick density, and this viscosity is the one protecting your scalp and hair. It simply promotes hair growth due to the punch of vitamins and minerals it packs.

People usually mix castor oil with other oils, as the former is a bit too thick to work with.

Castor Oil and Aloe Vera Hair Growth Gel

In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of Aloe Vera gel with 1 teaspoon of castor oil and 8 drops of lavender essential oil.

Let the paste sit for 30 minutes, and then rinse with warm water.

NOTE: If you have dandruff, itchy or inflamed scalp and you want significant hair growth, use this hair mask (and do not forget about the scalp massage) at least once a week. The effect is cooling, healing, and nourishing.

4. Coconut Oil

If you happened to ask someone how to make your hair stronger and healthier, his or her answer probably was “coconut oil”.

Coconut oil is among the best natural remedies and enhancers for hair, skin, and nails. Coconut oil contains a special ingredient: lauric acid. It supports hormone health and cellular health.

This beneficial property of coconut oil is also one of the reasons it can help prevent protein loss in hair in some people.

Moreover, coconut oil’s structure allows it to penetrate hair better than other oils, thus leading to faster and more visible results.

One important issue you need to know about coconut oil is that it works great when mixed with other oils, as the ingredients activate each other.

Coconut oil also has anti-fungal properties, offering dandruff relief and scalp health.

One may find it counterintuitive to put so many oils in your hair, especially if you have oily skin or hair, but you need to look beyond the obvious.

Tea tree oil, like many other essential oils, has a powerful soothing effect, mixed with nourishing and healing properties.

In other words, tea tree oil makes your hair smooth, thicker, stronger, and more resilient to environmental factors.

Tea tree oil works great for flaky, itchy, dry scalp and brittle hair. It unclogs pores and removes bacteria.
