Rinse with rice water - This idea comes from a Chinese village where women are known to have very long and luscious hair. So after cooking rice, let the water cool and then use it to rinse your hair. The water will be full of carbohydrates and amino acids that will help volumize your hair and protect it from harm. Eat well - Your hair needs nutrients from food in order to grow. Primarily it needs protein. So eat more eggs, bananas, raisins, and spinach to help promote hair growth. Use a hair mask - Your hair needs moisturizing just like your skin. Use an oil like coconut, Jojoba or castor oil as a hair mask and apply it from roots to the tips once a week for a shiny, healthy and strong hair. You can also use egg yolks as the mask for a boost of vitamins sodium, iron and lectin that can actually boost your hair growth and prevent damage.
