How to Use Vaseline for Hair Growth: Two Effective Recipes for Thicker, Longer Hair
Vaseline, while commonly used as a moisturizer, can also be a powerhouse ingredient in hair treatments. When combined with powerful natural ingredients like onion juice, coconut oil, and olive oil, Vaseline can help boost hair growth, repair damage, and make hair thicker and shinier. Here are two effective recipes to achieve those results!
Benefits of Using Vaseline for Hair Growth:
- Locks in moisture: Helps prevent dryness and breakage by sealing in hydration.
- Strengthens hair: Adds protection and nourishment to prevent hair from becoming brittle.
- Stimulates growth: When combined with ingredients like onion juice, it promotes blood circulation to the scalp and enhances follicle activity.
Recipe 1: Onion Juice and Vaseline Hair Growth Treatment
Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tablespoon Vaseline
Why This Works: Onion juice is rich in sulfur, a nutrient that stimulates hair follicles and improves blood circulation. This combination, along with the moisturizing benefits of Vaseline, promotes healthy hair growth and helps strengthen thinning hair and bald spots.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Onion Juice:
- Peel the medium onion and grate it using a fine grater.
- Place the grated onion in a strainer or cheesecloth and press with a spoon to extract its juice.
- Melt the Vaseline:
- In a small bowl, melt 1 tablespoon of Vaseline using a double boiler method or by placing the bowl over a pot of hot water.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Mix the melted Vaseline with the freshly extracted onion juice in a small bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Apply to Scalp:
- Using your fingertips, apply the mixture directly to your scalp, focusing on thinning or bald areas.
- Massage the mixture into your scalp for about 2 minutes to stimulate circulation and help it absorb.
- Wrap and Wait:
- Cover your hair with plastic wrap or a shower cap to trap heat.
- Leave the treatment on for about 1 hour.
- Rinse and Wash:
- Wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo to remove the mixture.
Recipe 2: Vaseline, Coconut Oil, and Olive Oil Hair Repair Treatment
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Vaseline
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Why This Works:
- Coconut oil helps to repair damaged hair and prevents protein loss.
- Olive oil nourishes, strengthens, and adds natural shine to your hair.
- Vaseline adds moisture and seals in the nourishing oils, promoting overall hair health.
Instructions:
- Melt the Ingredients:
- Pour boiling water into a large bowl. Place a smaller bowl inside to create a double boiler effect.
- Add 1 tablespoon of Vaseline, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the smaller bowl.
- Stir the ingredients until fully melted and combined.
- Apply to Hair:
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly before applying it to your hair.
- Apply the mixture generously to your scalp and hair, focusing on the roots and ends.
- Massage and Cover:
- Massage the mixture into your scalp for 2 minutes to stimulate blood flow.
- Cover your hair with plastic wrap or a shower cap to lock in heat and moisture.
- Leave and Rinse:
- Let the treatment sit for 1 hour.
- Wash your hair thoroughly with a gentle shampoo to remove the mixture.
Pro Tips for Best Results:
- Frequency: Use either of these recipes twice a week for optimal results.
- Consistency: Apply regularly for the best improvement. Consistency is key!
- Oily Scalps: If you have an oily scalp, avoid applying Vaseline directly to the roots as it may make your scalp greasier.

Expected Results:
- Week 1: Thicker, shinier hair that feels softer and more nourished.
- Long-Term: Reduced hair fall, thicker hair, and significant hair growth, with hair length increasing up to 3 times faster than usual.
