My DIY recipe will enhance any hair mask to grow your locks – do it weekly

A HAIR expert has revealed the secret of the masks she makes to make her mane grow long.

Her trick is not only accessible and inexpensive, but also helps add shine to lifeless hair.

Lexi (@swankylexiss) shared the hair care recipe in a TikTok video.

She revealed that the secret ingredient to her powerful hair masks was three tablespoons of ground coffee.

Along with the coffee, she added three tablespoons of a hydrating hair mask, three full droppers of argan oil, a tablespoon of castor oil, and 10 optional drops of your essential oil of choice.

She gave the ingredients a good mix to incorporate the coffee grounds and oils.

A Study from 2007 found that caffeine stimulated hair growth in male hair by blocking the effects of DHT, a hormone that causes hair loss and male pattern baldness.

Caffeine was also found to prolong the hair growth phase and enhance the growth effects on female hair follicles.

Additional benefits include a balanced microbiome for overall scalp health.

Coffee is also antioxidant and rich in flavonoids, which helps strengthen hair follicles and increase shine.

Lexi gave a brief overview of the benefits of coffee grounds.

“Stimulates the roots to promote hair growth, detoxifies the scalp, detangles hair and stimulates blood circulation in the scalp,” she listed the ingredient’s benefits.

She applied the mask to her wet hair, concentrated it on her scalp and rinsed it out half an hour later.

She recommended shampooing twice to thoroughly remove the oils and combing it through gently with a wide-toothed comb to prevent breakage and damage.

“Results: Clean scalp and super soft and shiny,” she said.

“Personally, I would do this once a week. If you’re just putting it in your shampoo, I’d say a few times a week is fine.”
