How Can I Make My Hair Grow Faster and Longer?

It’s one of the most-asked questions to hair stylists, and for good reason.  Hormones, birth control pills, the climate, diet, over-processing, and hair styling can all affect the growth of hair, and with today’s styles trending towards longer and fuller styles, everyone wants to know how to achieve their idea of dream hair.  Long, lucious hair is a sign of health and youth, and who doesn’t want to look healthier and younger??

Start with your diet:  make sure you eat protein, which produces keratin in your hair and is key to healthier scalp and follicles. Make sure you consume vitamins B, C and E, omega -3, biotin and iron, all of which are crucial to healthy hair.  The hair growth supplement Viviscal, which contains a marine protein amongst other nutrients, is highly-rated for its efficacy, and many celebrities and hair stylists swear by it. 

Fancy a scalp massage?  Go for it!  Regular massage both with your fingers and by brushing your hair increases the blood circulation to your scalp and the roots of hair follicles, and helps distributes your hair’s own natural, protective oils.  Use a clarifying shampoo twice a month to remove any buildup of product in your hair and on your scalp so that the pores around the follicles don’t become clogged, restricting growth. 

Give your hair a break by washing your hair twice to three times per week, not more.  Always use a conditioner to seal the hair shafts preventing loss of the natural oils of your hair.  Don’t overuse styling products, which can build up on hair follicles and scalp pores, and clog hair shafts.  Give your heated styling tools a rest time to time and use your hair dryer on a low to medium setting. 

Constantly wearing ponytails, braids, up-dos and headbands forces your hair follicles to lay against their natural growth direction and can cause hair fall.  It can also lead to traction alopecia, all of which decreases hair growth and damages follicles sometimes beyond repair.  Wearing your hair in its natural state is the best route to maximum hair growth, limiting hair loss and damage to the strands.

Masks and oils designed for your specific hair type can also improve the overall quality of your hair, treat damage, and refresh your scalp.  Use oils and masks twice a month as part of your hair-care regime.  Regular trims are important to prevent split ends from creeping up the hair shafts and causing further breakage, which in turn means that over time your hair will actually grow longer and stronger, free of damage. 

As we get older, meaning out of our teen years, we lose hair follicles every year, so doing what we can to retain and encourage growth is key to maintaining long, beautiful, full hair.  Start today and see the benefits within a few months. Win!
