Getting a regular scalp massage is said to promote thicker hair growth by stretching the cells of the hair follicles. This method is also known to remove scalp toxins. 
Adding in oil to your scalp massage is good for people experiencing dry scalp and hair. To start, mix 1 to 2 drops of your choice of oil with 1 tbsp of carrier oil like jojoba or melted coconut oil. Apply directly to the scalp and use fingertips to work the oils into the scalp. 
As the oils are absorbed through the pores of the scalp, you can continue with pure, cold-pressed oils. Some popular options such as coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, almond and argan oil are known for their amazing hair benefits.

You probably have baking soda sitting in your pantry, so it’s time to bring it out for a quick scalp detox. Using baking soda for the hair removes the oils, and other hair care product buildup left in the scalp. Plus, it helps to get rid of dandruff and build-up on the scalp from hair styling products. 
Gather these ingredients: Place four tablespoons of baking soda into a bowl. Mix in enough water until it turns into a thick paste. Add 1 tbsp of water at a time until it becomes a paste. You may add tea tree or peppermint essential oils if you prefer a soothing and cleansing benefit to the scalp. 
Scrub the baking soda into your scalp and hair with special focus on the roots and ends. Follow this by scrubbing your scalp and hair clean from root to tip. Rinse thoroughly to make sure no baking soda is left. You should only do this every two weeks to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils.

This soothing hair detox treatment is known to help tame an itchy, flaky and irritated scalp, making it perfect for anyone who’s in need of some serious relief. Cucumber comes with anti-inflammatory and anti-itching properties to help reduce redness and irritation. More so, this ingredient is naturally hydrating and moisturizing to the scalp. 
Lime, on the other hand, removes the oil build-up from the scalp while delivering a tingly feeling. This works for those who want to get cleaner, more moisturized, softer, and thicker hair. 
Blend together one small cucumber, and three drops of rosemary essential oil (to stimulate hair growth) until it turns into a fine paste and then mix in one teaspoon of lime juice. Apply directly to the scalp and use your fingers to apply per section. Massage for a few minutes and let it soak for up to 15 minutes. Wash it out and repeat once or twice per week.
