Your best bet is to ask in commercial pharmacies or stores that specialize in natural products.

4. Mask for oily hair
The recipes that we have already given you are great for helping dry hair grow. However, hair loss also affects those with oily hair.
If you have oily hair, try this mask. The egg white will absorb the excess oils in your hair. The yolk will play its part by keeping your hair hydrated and soft.

Take the time to look at all of the ingredients and avoid those that are rich in oils. With the carrot oil, you’ll get the necessary hydration.
5. Relaxing and clarifying lemon mask
Are you suffering from hair loss because of hair dyes or bleaches? Our first recommendation is that you stop dying your hair.
The chemicals that are used in commercial dyes and bleaches, such as peroxide, weaken your scalp and roots.
We recommend that you look for alternatives to change the color of your hair. If you want to lighten it, use the following mask to help with hair growth.
Ingredients
- The juice from 10 lemons
- 1 tablespoon of carrot oil (5 g)
- 1/2 cup of chamomile tea (100 ml)
Preparation
- Mix the ingredients and put them in a spray bottle.
- Each day, before showering, shake the spray bottle and apply the solution to your hair.
- Let sit for 15 minutes and then wash it normally.
If you are looking to darken your hair, change the lemon juice for a tablespoon of activated charcoal and the chamomile for black tea.
