Apply the mask on slightly damp hair and spread it throughout, thoroughly massage the area of the scalp to penetrate the hair follicles. To maximize its effect, it is best to wrap the hair in a hot towel and leave it on for about 20 or 30 minutes. After this time, remove with warm water and perform a normal wash.

There are some natural oils that can completely revitalize hair and promote growth. Among the various options we highlight coconut oil. Its success lies in the fact that it makes the scalp as healthy as possible by nourishing to the maximum the hair follicles.

• Carry out the final rinse when you wash your hair with cold water, this will not make it grow faster but will seal the cuticles making it make it look brighter and prevent excess damage.
• Add to your diet foods that are rich in vitamins A, B and C.
