Long hair has always been something most women crave for. Even though some women are blessed with hair that grows quickly and easily naturally, many others may find that their hair takes months or even years to grow a couple of inches. It is always best to learn good hair habits to make your hair grow faster. Here are five tips on how to make your hair grow faster, as well as share our secrets to get long hair quickly.
Five hair growth tips
1. Get regular trims
Many people are surprised when they hear this because getting trims often seems counterproductive to growing long hair faster. However, if your hair is damaged or has many split ends, this is necessary. Split ends stunt the hair's growth as the ends are continually splitting and breaking higher and higher, leaving hair strands stuck at the same length. Trimming those split, wispy, dead ends off not only leads to less breakage and faster hair growth, but it also makes your hair appear fuller, and by association, longer. One needs to make sure that they get their hair trimmed every three months, and have their stylist "dust" the bottom of their hair to trim off any brittle ends or dead ends. As a rule of thumb, your stylist should cut off only about half an inch to an inch when trimming your hair.
2. Dodge Heat Styling
Constant styling your hair with heat dries it out, making it much harder to grow. It is suggested either letting the hair air-dry and go au naturel when one can or turn the heat styling products down to medium heat (about 250℉) to minimize the risk of overheating and damage. One needs to make sure to use a heat protectant at the time of heat styling your hair and added protection.
3. Wash your hair as little as possible
Washing your hair too often can ransack your hair of its natural oils, stunting hair growth and causing dry, dull hair. So, how often should you wash your hair? If you currently wash your hair every day, try washing it every other day, consistently adding a day in between washes until you are washing it only once or twice a week. This will allow those natural oils to moisturize your scalp, travel down the hair strands, improve hair texture, and lead to healthier overall hair. You can also use dry shampoo between washes to keep greasy roots at bay and experiment with braids, buns, and hats for second and third-day hair.
4. Hair oils for longer hair
Certain hair oils work miracles to promote hair growth. Castor oil, for instance, comprises vital properties like vitamin E, proteins, fatty acids, and antioxidants, which support the keratin in hair, making it grow faster, stronger, smoother, and healthier. 100% pure virgin castor oil offers many other great benefits such as controlling hair loss, fighting infections, cleansing the scalp, warding off dandruff (due to its anti-fungal properties), conditioning, etc, moisturizing the hair, and preventing split ends. So, whenever you are thinking of purchasing a hair oil, make sure that it has a combination of essential oils like marula oil, onion seed oil, castor oil, curry leaf oil, and others.
5. Use A Silk Pillowcase
Have you ever slept with perfect curls only to wake up with a frizzy mess on your head? Cotton has rougher and larger fibers than silk. This leads to hair strands getting caught in the fabric as you toss and turn overnight. This ends up lifting the outer cuticle layer of your hair, making it inclined to frizz, breakage, and damage. Silk fabric has smaller fibers. They keep the cuticle layer of the hair intact and do not cause the friction that traditional pillowcases do. This leads to smoother, healthier, and longer hair in the future. If you don't feel like investing in a new pillowcase, you can also tie your hair in a loose bun with a scrunchie at the top of your head. It avoids tangles and friction on your pillowcase through the night. Apart from all these tips, you can also use hair masks weekly. Just as you treat yourself to a weekly face mask, it is essential to give your hair the same love and attention. Hair masks give a healthy punch of vital nutrients that help strengthen and nourish your hair and help it grow much faster. So, here were some hair growth tips on how to make your hair grow faster. Now you can flaunt your long hair like never before.
