DIY Shea Butter Hair Mask for Hair Growth

Make this DIY shea butter hair mask for hair growth!

Shea Butter for Hair Growth

If you’re a naturalista, then you must be using shea butter as a sealant to keep your beautiful curls moisturized. You might have wondered if shea butter, which is intensely moisturizing and nourishing also helps promote hair growth. I’m here to tell you that yes it can! Shea butter is LOADED with vitamins and nourishing nutrients that feed the hair follicles with goodness, strengthening them thereby stimulating hair growth.

Another way shea butter helps hair growth is by acting as an excellent emollient and sealant. It traps moisture in the scalp thereby maintaining a healthy and moisturized scalp. Did you know that dry scalps prevent hair growth and actually lead to hair fall?! If you have a dry scalp, you must use shea butter as a sealant to lock moisture and prevent hair fall.

Here’s a DIY shea butter hair mask that boosts hair growth and prevents hair fall! It’s also a great treatment to heal itchy and inflamed scalps as it contains the cooling and soothing eucalyptus essential oil, which by the way, is great for hair loss problems as you can read about in this post.

  3. Add the essential oils and mix again till fully incorporated.

How to Use this DIY Shea Butter Hair Mask for Growth

  • Apply liberally all over your scalp.
  • Gently massage it in using your finger tips.
  • Leave it to penetrate for about 30 minutes or more. You can cover your head with a shower cap or baggie. Use the hooded dryer method if you want.
  • When the time is up, rinse off it off using warm water and a sulfate-free shampoo. You can use this amazing Maple Holistics Sage Shampoo containing algae extract. Remember with sulfate-free shampoos, there is no lather like the regular shampoos. You just have to squeeze out a little of the muddy looking mixture and rub it all over your scalp and tresses, then rinse out using tepid or lukewarm water.
