SPLURGING on an expensive hair salon appointment isn’t always necessary for growing long thick hair.
Sarah Esi (@sarah.esii) revealed her enviably full locks were achieved by a homemade hair mask which includes ingredients that most people already have.

She boasts over 34,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty advice as a professional makeup artist.
She took a break from posting makeup tutorials to reveal how she grew her hair without going to a hairdresser.
Sarah used a wide-tooth comb to brush her hair from root to tip to ensure that there were no knots before making a mask.
She said: “Soak and overcook some rice, add some fresh aloe vera, add one to two eggs.
“Blend until smooth, add some hair oil, and mix.”
She used a plastic fork to mix Dabur Amla Hair Oil into the mixture of ingredients in a bowl.
The hair oil which costs $7.99 from Amazon claims to be made from natural ingredients that soothe frizz while supporting a healthy scalp and strong hair.
Sarah recommended keeping her homemade hair mask on for 30 minutes before rinsing off.

She captioned the post: “This is one of my fav hair masks to fight dandruff, prevent hair loss, and add shine.”
She included the hashtags #4chairclub, #naturalhairgrowth, #hairmask, and #hairtutorial.
The video was watched almost 13,000 times and received hundreds of likes as people in the comment section shared their plans to try it.
Sarah revealed in follow-up videos that she uses protective styles such as braids to keep her hair healthy.

She also detoxes her hair routinely with a mask that includes bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar.
She said: “Benefits include pulling out toxins while taming frizz, soothing an irritated scalp, and removing dry flakes.
“Also adds volume and shine. I have low porosity 4C hair.”
Sarah’s viral post comes after another TikToker praised the benefits of using natural aloe vera sticks on hair.
Kirti, who has long glossy hair, applied blended aloe vera from root to tip and claimed that the plant can prevent hair loss.
She said: “It’s cheap, affordable, and you can do it at home. It just is a little messy.
“Your hair will not only shed less but it will also become stronger, healthier, and shinier.
“I got my aloe vera stick from a grocery store and I think I’m gonna ditch my conditioner.”
She added in the caption of her post: “Hair loss is a big problem and needs to be solved and resolved internally and externally.
“My hair is super shiny since I have started to use aloe vera!”
