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 />
