Melody Yaslan shares a simple, natural hair growth secret inspired by her family’s traditions
City: TikTok
So, Melody Yaslan, a beauty guru with a huge following, just dropped a cool hair growth hack on TikTok. She’s all about sharing beauty secrets from around the globe.
She shared a touching story about her family, showing off her grandma’s gorgeous hair. “My great-grandma had hair like this at 60, and my 80-year-old grandma still does!” she said, showing off some stunning photos.
Turns out, the secret ingredient is stinging nettle. This plant is said to help with hair growth, and there’s even some science behind it. A study on lab mice showed that stinging nettle can really boost hair growth.
In the study, they applied nettle extract to shaved mice, and after 21 days, those little guys had more hair than the ones that didn’t get the treatment. Pretty impressive, right?
Stinging nettle is packed with vitamins and minerals that are great for your hair and skin. Plus, it has a plant chemical called beta-sitosterol that helps stimulate hair growth.
Melody suggests using stinging nettle shampoo and skipping the conditioner. She’s found that her hair looks fuller without it. To keep her hair soft, she oils it with argan oil before washing.
She claims this routine helped her grow her hair from a bob to shoulder-length in less than a year. Talk about a transformation!
For those curious about nettle, she also recommends drinking nettle tea or using it as a hair rinse. It’s a two-for-one deal since it can help with menstrual cramps too.
People in the comments were all about it, sharing their own experiences with nettle. One person said, “I did nettle rinses when I was younger, and it really works!”
Another chimed in, “My mother-in-law got me nettle oil when I had bald spots, and my hair grew back fast!” Sounds like stinging nettle might just be the hair miracle we’ve been looking for!
