10 Ways To Grow Your Hair Faster

The hair industry is a huge business, and many 'remedies' to growing longer hair faster may be found within the marketplace. However, a lot of these products are just regular hair products branded with the ability to grow hair at a faster rate. No known scientific formula or magic product will increase hair growth instantly, but this slideshow will present ten ways in which hair can regularly be treated to ensure healthy, long hair.

Scalp Massage

Massaging the head can stimulate blood vessels and hair follicles, which can consequently encourage hair growth. More active follicles can mean more hair growth all over the head, and regular head massages are an excellent way to ensure the hair grows evenly. There are many simple head massage techniques online that are easy to learn.

Trimming Split Ends

When the ends of the hair split, they can get tangled with other hairs as well as 'dying' and becoming somewhat dormant. Although cutting hair seems counterproductive with regards to the title of this slideshow, trimming dead ends will be of great benefit to the hair in the long run.

Use Conditioner More Often

Conditioner will help to repair damaged hair particles as well as keeping it robust. Many people think that regular shampooing is a great way to keep hair clean. However, many experts have claimed that shampoo gets rid of beneficial oils in the hair, some of which protect the hair from various environmental factors. Conditioner is key to maintain and protect long hair and should be used alongside shampoo (twice a week at the maximum) whenever washing the hair.

Egg Mask Treatment

Eggs contain a high amount of protein which stimulates and promotes healthy hair growth and condition. This home treatment can be made by combining just one or two eggs and some yogurt. Mix the ingredients in a bowl, mixing them thoroughly, then apply to the hair for 20 minutes. Wash out with water and continue this practice monthly to see some amazing results.

Don't Tie Hair Up Too Often

Putting this kind of stress on hair follicles all of the time is not advised due to the fact it will make hair more fragile and prone to breaking. This effect can also be applied to the practice of wrapping hair in a towel after washing which also causes the same types of effect to the hair. If hair is tied up make sure it is not too tight and it should be okay as long as it is not a routine.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

This type of acid, naturally found in fish, helps the body fight inflammation and in this case, the inflammation of hair follicles. This kind of swelling can lead to hair loss which is obviously an impediment to growing hair. Omega-3 acids will also promote scalp health which is key to growing long, luscious hair. If fish is not available, there are plenty of omega-3 capsules on the market today that will have the same effect.

Increase Protein Intake

Protein is one of the essential fuels the body needs to produce any hair, let alone thick and long hair. Protein is easily found in chicken breast, fish, spinach, or grains and is easily added to most diets if it is not present already. Many health websites now claim that a steady diet of protein and iron is very beneficial to continued hair growth and that these minerals can even slow some effects of age-related balding.

Increase Vitamins A and C Intake

Vitamin C has long been touted for its abilities to boost the immune system but is also responsible for maintaining a shiny head of hair. Both vitamins will even repair or protect damaged tissue, including hair tissue. Vitamin A can be found in dairy, eggs, and liver and Vitamin C is naturally found in berries, oranges, and tomatoes.

Biotin

Biotin is a complex B vitamin that helps to maintain the condition of skin, hair, nails, the liver, and the nervous system. Most people will receive the appropriate dose from their existing diets, but many have started to use biotin as a supplement to encourage hair and nail health as well as blood sugar regularity. Biotin is naturally found in bananas, eggs, mushrooms, and soybeans, to name a few.

Drink More Water

Drinking water allows the body to flush toxins from the system, some of which may affect the condition of hair. Water also hydrates the body which stops dried out, dehydrated hair from occurring in the first place or breaking as easily. Dehydration can stop hair growth entirely which is why adequate water is so essential for the health of hair.
