Discover 6 lemon-based tricks to get the hair you’ve been dreaming of, using very simple ingredients. Of course, for best results, choose organic products.
Why lemon?
Lemon is an essential food for the health of the body and hair. Thanks to its antioxidant and antibacterial qualities, lemon regulates the production of sebum on the scalp, making the hair less greasy while limiting the formation of hair dandruff. In addition, this vitamin C-rich fruit helps hair regain its natural shine and cleanses it thoroughly.
Here are the 6 tricks that accelerate your hair growth:
1. Lemon juice + essential oil of garlic
Hair contains keratin, a sulphur-rich protein that strengthens the hair and promotes the structure of the hair fibre. When the hair fibre is damaged or in reduced quantities, garlic is very useful because it contains a high sulphur content that provides intense nourishment to the scalp. In addition, garlic contains vitamin B5, which is also found in keratin and helps promote hair growth.
To make this mask, mix the juice of one lemon and three tablespoons of garlic oil in a bowl. Apply the mixture to the scalp and massage it into the mask. After 15 minutes, rinse your hair with warm water.
2. Lemon juice + argan oil
Argan oil is excellent for hair. Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, it moisturizes the scalp, protects it against external aggressions and promotes its growth. According to Gina Rivera, hair expert, this is due to the phenols it contains, allowing to clear the hair pores and promote hair growth.
To prepare this application, put in a bowl 4 tablespoons of argan oil and the juice of half a lemon. Then apply the solution to the scalp and massage gently. Let the mask work for an hour and then rinse with warm water.
3.lemon juice + castor oil

4. Lemon juice + egg + olive oil
The egg is rich in vitamins, proteins and fatty acids that are very good for hair health. In particular, it contains vitamin D, which is said to have a considerable effect on women suffering from alopecia.

To prepare this mask, mix the juice of half a lemon, an egg and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Massage the mask into your hair. Leave the mask on for an hour before rinsing.
5. Lemon juice + avocado oil + shea butter

6. Lemon juice + aloe vera + coconut oil
Aloe vera is rich in vitamins A, B6 and B9. It helps to cleanse the hair by regulating the production of sebum, preventing the hair from being too greasy or on the contrary too dry. In addition, aloe vera promotes blood circulation in the scalp, stimulating hair growth. In addition, coconut oil moisturizes the scalp perfectly.
