7 Quick Tips to Make Your Hair Roots Stronger

If you’ve been brushing your hair and noticing more strands on the floor than usual, the real issue might be hiding at the roots.

Hair roots sit just beneath your scalp. They’re the base that holds each strand in place and deliver the nutrients your hair needs to grow. When those roots get weak, your hair starts to thin out, break, and fall faster than it can grow back.

Maybe you’ve tried switching shampoos or trimming your ends, but nothing really seems to help. That’s because real hair health starts with the scalp.

Once you take care of your roots, everything changes. Your hair holds better, grows stronger, and looks healthier. And the best part? It’s easier to fix than you think. Let’s walk through 7 simple ways to give your roots the support they’ve been missing.

1. Start with a Root-Strengthening Hair Oil

The first place to start is scalp nutrition. A well-formulated hair oil supports the follicles by feeding them with fatty acids, vitamins, and natural antioxidants.

Look for oils that contain:

• Castor oil (rich in ricinoleic acid, boosts circulation)

• Bhringraj (an Ayurvedic powerhouse known to reduce hair fall)

• Rosemary essential oil (shown in studies to be as effective as minoxidil for promoting growth)

Massage a few drops of True Derma Truegain Hair Oil into your scalp 2–3 times a week. Focus on the roots and use your fingertips to stimulate blood flow. Let it sit overnight or for at least 30 minutes before washing.

2. Feed Your Hair From Within

Your hair roots rely heavily on what you eat. Without nutrients, follicles shrink and weaken. Hair starts to fall before it has a chance to grow.

Make sure your meals include:

• Protein-rich foods (eggs, fish, lentils, tofu)

• Biotin and Vitamin B-complex (almonds, sweet potatoes, spinach)

• Iron and zinc (pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, red meat)

A 2018 study highlighted how deficiencies in biotin, iron, and vitamin D were directly linked to chronic hair loss in women.

For additional support, try daily True Hair Gain Gummies. These are packed with biotin, folic acid, and zinc to fill any nutritional gaps and support stronger hair growth from the inside.

3. Massage the Scalp for Circulation Boost

Massaging your scalp doesn’t just feel good—it stimulates hair follicles and encourages nutrient delivery.

A study in ePlasty Journal (2016) found that a 4-minute scalp massage every day improved hair thickness over 24 weeks by stretching dermal papilla cells.

Use the pads of your fingers (never nails) and massage in small circles. Start from the crown and move outward. You can do it with or without oil, but consistency is key. Pair this with your oiling routine for double the benefit.

4. Protect Your Hair From Heat Damage

Your roots can be healthy, but constant blow-drying, flat ironing, and curling can burn through your strands and weaken them from mid-shaft to root.

Here’s how to reduce heat damage:

• Limit heat styling to twice a week

• Always apply a heat protectant serum before styling

• Air-dry with a soft cotton T-shirt instead of a towel to avoid breakage

A tip worth remembering: if your roots feel sore or dry after styling, your scalp is overworked. Ease up on tools and let your hair breathe.

5. Hydrate Your Scalp

A hydrated scalp leads to softer roots and stronger strands. Dehydration shrinks follicles, dries out the scalp, and increases breakage.

Drink at least 8–10 glasses of water daily and add hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, and oranges to your plate.

Topically, aloe vera is a fantastic natural remedy. It soothes inflammation, reduces dandruff, and provides moisture directly to the scalp. Apply fresh aloe vera gel once or twice a week as a mask and rinse with lukewarm water.

6. Use Natural Remedies to Fortify Roots

Mother Nature provides powerful options for root repair.

Try these weekly:

• Onion juice: Sulfur-rich, boosts collagen for root repair

• Fenugreek seed paste: High in protein, fights hair fall

• Coconut milk: Nourishes roots with fats and amino acids

Mix these with a carrier oil or apply as a mask for 20–30 minutes before washing. Many users report visible results within 4–6 weeks with consistent application.

7. Manage Stress to Protect Your Hair Cycle

Stress is one of the most common causes of hair fall today. It pushes hair from the growing (anagen) phase into the shedding (telogen) phase.

To counter this:

• Sleep 7–8 hours daily

• Practice deep breathing or guided meditation

• Get regular physical activity to flush out stress hormones

You can also support your stress recovery with adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha or wellness supplements designed for calming and repair.
