Make Hair Grow Faster in Nairobi Kenya: Massage Your Scalp
Give yourself daily scalp massages since they improve blood circulation in the scalp and consequently provide the hair follicles with adequate nutrients which aid the hair growth process. Scalp massages have also been proven to increase hair fullness which results in thicker hair. These massages also reduce stress which is one of the causes of hair loss.
For the best results, use oils that are known to boost hair growth like rosemary essential oil, peppermint essential oil and black castor oil. You can also use oils that nourish the scalp like jojoba. To make your own natural hair growth oil, use the recipe below.
Rosemary, peppermint and lavender essential oils as well as black castor oil and jojoba can be purchased from our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Store located in Moi Avenue, Sawa Mall, 3rd floor, shop C15. Call or WhatsApp 0721963156 to order. We deliver countrywide.
Eat Right
Eat foods that are rich in proteins since the body needs them to make hair. These foods include animal proteins like beef and plant proteins like beans and peas.
Ensure that you also consume foods with the micronutrients required for healthy hair. These include foods that are rich in biotin (eg. peanuts), zinc (eg. pumpkin seeds), iron (eg. dark green leafy vegetables), selenium (eg. eggs) and omega 3 fatty acids (eg. fish and chia seeds).
Take A Supplement
Take a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral supplement that contains nutrients like biotin and zinc in the daily recommended values. A good example is Centrum It can be purchased from Amazon.
Shampoo Regularly
Clean your scalp and shampoo your hair regularly since accumulation of dirt, hair care product build up, oils and dead skin cells around the hair follicles can hinder hair growth. As you do so, massage your scalp with the shampoo to ensure that you also reap the benefits of scalp massages.
As you choose a shampoo, ensure that it is SLS free, SLES free, paraben free and silicone (dimethicone) free as these ingredients can build up on your scalp clogging the hair follicles.
A good example of a clarifyihng shampoo is Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two because it removes build up from all hair types including oily hair. This clarifying shampoo is color safe and vegan. It can be purchased from Amazon.
Use A Nourishing Shampoo
You can also use a shampoo with ingredients known as nourishers because they promote hair growth. Pumpkin seed oil is one nourisher that stops hair loss and makes hair regrow. Saw palmetto is another nourisher that halts hair fall and makes hair regrow. Yucca root is another nourisher which also promotes hair growth and reduces inflammation.
You can also use shampoos with scalp stimulating ingredients like rosemary and peppermint essential oils. You can even add the pure rosemary and peppermint essential oils to your shampoo for a stimulating boost.
Condition After Shampooing
Condition your hair after shampooing to restore proteins to the hair shafts and hair follicles. To do this, use conditioners with growth nutrients like biotin and zinc.
A good example of a conditioner which restores proteins and moisture to the hair is the Sheth Naturals Deep Conditioner. It can be purchased from our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Store.

Treat With Caffeine
A study found that caffeine had an effect on the hair follicles that promoted hair growth.
To reap this benefit you can use a caffeinated hair care product like Alpecin C1 Caffeine Shampoo which contains caffeine, zinc, niacin and castor oil to transform thinning hair into thicker, stronger and fuller hair. It should be used everyday and left on the scalp for 2 minutes. It can be purchased from Amazon.
Manage Stress
To make hair grow faster you also have to understand the hair growth cyle and phases. At any given time, around 85 percent of hair follicles are in the anagen or the growing phase and 5% are in catagen or the transitioning phase. The rest of the follicles are in telogen which is the resting phase. The growing phase lasts for 3 to 5 years and it is followed by the catagen phase during which the follicle shrinks and the rate of hair growth slows down. It lasts around 2 weeks and is followed by the telogen phase during which the strand falls out and its follicle remains dormant and hairless for about 3 months.
To help hair grow faster, avoid factors that can push the follicles into the telogen or resting phase like stress. If you find yourself stressed, take a proactive role to learn and practice stress management techniques like abdominal breathing, meditation and visualization.
