Adding certain natural ingredients to your regular shampoo can accelerate hair growth and improve its health. Yes, really!

Green tea

Rich in antioxidants, green tea is not only beneficial for your health and skin but it also helps prevent hair fall and promotes hair growth. It has the ability to increase the supply of oxygen and other essential nutrients to the scalp. The Sunsilk Green Tea and White Lily Freshness Shampoo is formulated with the goodness of green tea, which purifies your hair and leaves it fresh.

Lavender

Applying lavender oil makes your hair thicker and accelerates the growth cycle too. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi which are usually responsible for hampering natural hair growth. You can add a few drops of lavender essential oil to your shampoo or save yourself the hassle of mixing ingredients and simply get your hands on the Love Beauty & Planet Smooth and Serene Shampoo with Argan Oil and Lavender Aroma, which is formulated with lavender to smoothen your frizzy tresses and make them more manageable.

Honey

Honey is one of the most beneficial ingredients found in nature; it has great healing and repairing properties. It also acts as a moisturiser to retain moisture into the hair; thus, strengthening hair and promoting growth. You can add a teaspoon of honey to your regular shampoo or get yourself the Dove Healthy Ritual For Strengthening Hair Shampoo, which contains the goodness of honey and oat milk.

Aloe vera
