Awake Organic Scalp Scrub contains peppermint and hibiscus (not for pregnancy) to stimulate hair growth. Use twice weekly before washing your hair to exfoliate the scalp, then massage in for a couple of minutes. The beautiful pink hue is from the flowers, but won’t deposit colour on your hair or towels.
Avoid aromatherapy essential oils for pregnancy/nursing (and medical conditions like epilepsy and asthma). Avoid rosemary & citrus oils for high blood pressure. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies.
While you’re there, Awake Organics Hair Growth Shampoo is a water-activated powder, also designed to stimulate the scalp. It contains natural caffeine (guarana seeds), coconut milk protein and acacia tree gum (for volume and shine). Along with oils or rosemary and lemongrass. One bottle gives around 35 washes.

- Ayumi Naturals Hair Growth Oil (above, also sold at Nature’s Health Box) is formulated with 19 Ayurvedic botanicals to boost blood flow, reduce hair fall and encourage growth. Scented with cinnamon, nourishing base oils and superfruits. Warm gently then massage into scalp for 15 to 20 minutes (leave 45 minutes or overnight – keep away from pets if they sleep on your bed, due to essential oils).

- Wild Lemon Hair Growth Oil is sold in a glass bottle. Rich in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, massage in a small amount from root to tip, and leave for a few hours or overnight, then shampoo and condition as normal. Use weekly for best results.

- HairMax is a laser comb that emits low-light to stimulate hair follicles. Use for 11 minutes a day, 3 days a week (for the first few weeks, you may find excess hair shedding, as unhealthy hairs are removed, to be replaced by thicker hair). This won’t burn or injure scalp, but avoid for pregnancy/nursing and medical conditions.
