Do You Want Faster Hair Growth?

Do you think your hair doesn’t grow fast enough?

Your hair grows at a rate pre-determined by your DNA. Even so, there are things you can do to see improvements, overcome slow growth and get longer hair in less time.

Simple Tips For Faster Hair Growth

Here are some tips you can use to encourage hair growth.

Get Rid of Damaged Hair

• For the best results, start with a clean slate. Healthy hair doesn't have tons of split ends and damage. Go to your stylist (or do it yourself) and have all the split and damaged ends cut off of your hair. This encourages health and growth.

Eat Right

• When your body isn’t well your hair suffers. Only a healthy body produces healthy hair. Get plenty of the right nutrition to help your hair grow at its full potential.
• Eat plenty of protein, fruits, vegetables and nuts for faster hair growth. Add eight glasses of water each day to hydrate your body and nourish your scalp.

Get Some Exercise

• Break a sweat on a regular basis to boost your hair's health. Cardio speeds up your circulation, bringing nutrients to your scalp and promoting growth.

Stimulate Your Scalp

• Scalp massages stimulate and encourage blood flow (plus it feel very relaxing). Get a good rub with scalp stimulating oils and herbs to improve circulation and help treat dry scalp and dandruff.

Take Your Vitamins

• Take a hair vitamin to help your hair grow faster. Regular multivitamins are good but hair vitamins are even better. They have the potential to double your hair's growth rate.

Sleep With Silk

• When you toss and turn at night your hair rubs against a cotton pillowcase. Cotton fabric dries your hair out, so to protect your hair wrap a silk or satin scarf around it or use a silk or satin pillowcase.

Turn Down the Heat

• There's a direct relationship with how often you use heat styling tools and how healthy your hair is. More use equals more damage and less use equals healthier hair.
• Learn how to style your hair using indirect heat (e.g. from a hooded dryer) and heat free hairstyles.

Bathe Your Hair in Moisture

• Your hair needs a lot of moisture to stay supple. Black hair is especially vulnerable because it's naturally dry. Counteract this by using moisturizing shampoos, conditioners and leave-ins, not hair grease.

Don't Dye and Lye

• Never color and chemically straighten your hair at the same time. Double processing makes it brittle, weak and prone to breakage.
• No matter how fast your hair grows, if it breaks you'll never see progress.

Leave Your Hair Alone

• For faster hair growth, 'play' with your hair less. Unnecessary combing and brushing do nothing but encourage breakage and fall out.
• Enjoy your new found hair growth, but don’t undo it all with over-handling.
