Natural hair growth is a beautiful process that can be nurtured in various ways. While a well-balanced diet, proper hydration, yoga, and adequate sleep are critical to hair health, here are some home remedies you can keep in mind for those luscious locks.

Peppermint oil: Peppermint is a mainstay in our cosmetics for its pleasant scent and skin-friendly qualities. When it comes to hair care, peppermint oil shines because it is loaded with menthol. Research suggests that peppermint offers more than just a refreshing aroma. It possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties, making it beneficial for scalp health. It also has antioxidants that add to its efficacy in overall hair well-being.
