It helps promote faster hair growth, regrowth, and strengthens and nourishes hair to help it grow strong and healthy.


Plus, it's 100% natural so you can rest easy knowing you're not putting any chemicals in your hair.

Tools and materials:

  • Distilled water
  • Dried nettle leaf
  • Horsetail leaf
  • Aloe vera gel
  • Clary sage essential oil
  • Rosemary essential oil
  • Lavender essential oil
  • Pot and stove
  • Sieve
  • Measuring cup and measuring spoons
  • Funnel
  • Spray bottle
Nettle herb tea

1. A few notes on the ingredients

Some of these ingredients may not be familiar to you. Both the dried nettle leaf and the horsetail leaf can be found as herbal teas.

Aloe vera

Make sure you are using all-natural Aloe Vera gel, with no added ingredients, like preservatives. Alternatively, you can use fresh Aloe Vera right from a plant, which is even better.

Applying hair growth serum

3. How to use your hair growth serum

To apply the DIY hair growth serum, spray it generously on the roots of your hair. 


You can use the serum once or more per day. I usually use it as soon as I get out of the shower in the morning.
