5 tips to make your hair grow faster<br />
Any woman’s wish is to have a long, healthy<br />
and beautiful hair. However, hair takes its<br />
time to grow and we don’t usually tend to<br />
wait for it. We feel the need to do something<br />
about it. There’s countless options we can<br />
follow, to speed our hair’s healthy growth. There’s<br />
no such thing as magical potions to make it grow<br />
suddenly though. If your purpose is to make your<br />
hair grow from a shoulder’s length hair to mid<br />
back length hair quickly, I’m afraid you won’t get it.<br />
Technically all you can actually do, is to apply hair<br />
extensions, clip on ponytails or long wigs.<br />
If you know what patience means though, there’s<br />
a couple of tips you can follow to maximize all<br />
your hair’s potential and consequently make it<br />
grow slightly faster than usual. Here are my 5 tips<br />
to make your hair grow faster!<br />
01. PRACTICE GOOD HAIR HABITS<br />
If you want to have your hair grow faster, you need<br />
healthy hair. Good hair habits will help you avoid<br />
damaging your hair and keep it healthy.<br />
Here some good practices:<br />
1. Use a brush with natural boar bristles.<br />
2. Don’t braid or put your hair in a ponytail when it<br />
is still wet.<br />
3. Avoid chemical treatments such as bleaching,<br />
perms, coloring or highlighting.<br />
4. Minimize heat styling with things such as hot<br />
combs, hair dryers and curling irons.<br />
5. Although the best thing to do, is to avoid using<br />
heat styling, it is still important to dry your hairs<br />
roots after washing it. I learnt this with a specialized<br />
doctor. The roots of our hair take a long time<br />
to dry whenever we wash it, between 2 and 3 days<br />
actually. Therefore, it is extremely important to<br />
dry it with a hair dryer. Do not forget the important<br />
thing to is, is to dry your hairs roots, not the ends.<br />
If you leave the ends wet, is no big deal.<br />
02. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET<br />
Eating well and healthy is really important. You<br />
must eat lots of fruits and vegetables. You<br />
should also do a diet based on proteins. Since<br />
hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein<br />
may cause some thinning hair or a retardation in<br />
the growth cycle. For instance, fish, eggs, beans<br />
or yogurt, are filled with protein. Soy protein has<br />
also been found to be helpful in stimulating hair<br />
growth.<br />
Remember, beauty comes from the inside. In a<br />
way, you are what you eat. If you feed yourself<br />
lots of healthy nourishing foods your body will<br />
reflect this.<br />
03. FLAXSEED OIL<br />
Flax Seed Oil is a blue flowering plant that is<br />
grown on the Western Canadian Prairies for its<br />
oil rich seeds. This natural oil is highly recommended<br />
for the general well being and whole<br />
body nutrition. It is a natural acids source that<br />
are essential to keep our body healthy.<br />
They are also good for the heart, reducing the<br />
risk of coronary heart disease. The recommended<br />
daily dose for most people is at least1,000 mg<br />
taken one to three times daily. Therefore, if you<br />
don’t eat much fish, you must take the Flax Seed<br />
Oil supply in order to help your body have all the<br />
vitamins you need and consequently speed up<br />
your hairs growth.<br />

04. KEEP IT TRIMMED!<br />
To cut your split end is very important. When<br />
you ignore split ends, it ends up leaving you<br />
with shorter hair due to breakage. Damage<br />
to your hair will move up from the ends and<br />
the only way to stop it in its tracks is to remove<br />
it as soon as it happens. Do not forget<br />
the hair starts growing from the root, not<br />
the ends. Therefore, whenever the split ends<br />
are cut, your hair follicle is working less to<br />
repair split, dead ends and working more in<br />
the root. If you cut the ends frequently, your<br />
hair will grow faster and healthier. Trust me,<br />
it’s true!<br />
It’s always easy to talk though. It’s hard to<br />
put it into action. I hate having to trim my<br />
hair when I have worked so hard on making<br />
it long! But it’s a need that will bring good<br />
results in a long-term time. Just be patient<br />
05. MASSAGE THE SCALP<br />
Always give yourself a scalp massage. You<br />
will want to massage your hair’s at least<br />
three times a week. Use the tips of your<br />
hands and firmly massage your scalp. Make<br />
sure you cover the entire head. With a good<br />
scalp massage you increase blood circulation<br />
which enriches skin with essential nutrients<br />
and oxygen. After a massage actively<br />
circulating blood brings the nutrients to do<br />
hair’s follicles. Besides, massage helps to<br />
relax and improves the strength of the roots.<br />
