Aside from shampoos and conditioners, there are lots of other natural products you can apply to your hair daily, to strengthen it and improve growth.
Base oils and essential oils mixed the right way work wonders for hair.
In this post, I will share some of the methods I’m using and I’m happy with, and some other popular ones that I’m still not tired of.
Natural Oil Masks for Better, Thicker Hair
These are receipts you can make at home and apply before taking shower.
1. Castor oil hair masks for hair growth
Castor oil is one of the best oils when we talk hair benefits. It is one of the most used natural remedies for hair and growth.
Castor oil comes from the plant Ricin ( Ricinus communis), found naturally in Africa, India, and South America. It has been known in traditional medicine for many years.
The unique structure of castor oil makes it a perfect moisturizer that seals moisture, provides nourishment to the hair, and stimulates its growth.
Castor oil has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and is high in vitamin E, minerals, proteins, and omega-6 and 9 fatty acids.
But enough good words, I think you get the point.
Castor oil Mask #1
What do you need?
- 2 tbsp. Castor oil
- 1 egg yolk
This is a pretty basic, but efficient mask for every hair type.
Method of preparation and use:
Pour the egg yolk into a bowl. Add the castor oil and mix the ingredients well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
Apply the mask on the roots and lengths of the hair with massaging movements.
For best results, cover your hair with a bathing cap and wrap it with a towel to warm the scalp. Leave on for at least an hour and then wash with shampoo.
Castor oil Mask #2
What do you need?
- 3 tbsp. Castor oil
- 2 tbsp. honey
Method of preparation and use:
Mix the ingredients in a bowl and mix well until smooth.
Apply generously to the roots, massaging the scalp, and do not hesitate to apply along the lengths (if you have any lengths :D).
Leave on for at least an hour, then wash thoroughly with shampoo.
Castor oil Mask #3
What do you need?
2 tbsp. Castor oil
2 tbsp. aloe vera gel
Method of preparation and use:
Mix the mixture well and apply directly on the scalp, pulling towards the ends of the hair.
Wrap your hair in a towel and leave the mixture to act for an hour or overnight.
Then wash your hair as gently as possible with sulfate-free shampoo and enjoy security, comfort, and beauty.
Essential oils hair mask against hair loss
Ingredients:
10 ml castor oil
40 ml burdock oil

And one a little bit harder, but an amazing receipt.

2. Burdock Hair masks against hair loss
Тhe benefits of burdock for hair growth are well known in the eastern world. My grandmother’s mother used to collect burdock and make tea and hair shampoo back in the 18th century! (true story)
The plant has purple flower petals that look like a thorn and large leaves. Burdock root has been used for medical and cosmetic purposes for centuries.
In Europe, the burdock plant is used to purify the blood and treat hair. Burdock has been shown to be high in tannins, inulin, vitamin A and fatty acids, all of which promote bone growth and prevent hair loss.

- Bring to the boil until the water has evaporated in half, strain and allow to cool;
