5 Tips For Rapid & Healthy Hair Growth
You've decided it's time to make a change. That short bob you've had for years is no longer cutting it. You want to grow your hair out. You have dreams of luscious locks and the flexibility of styling longer hair. But there's just one problem. How do you grow your hair longer without that awkward look that comes with the process? We've got the tips to help you grow your hair, keeping your style on-trend, stylish, and healthy throughout the process.
How to Grow Out Your Hair
Growing your hair out is a process that requires patience. It's not going to happen overnight. Your hair only grows about 1/8 of an inch each week. So, to grow your hair out another four inches or more, you should expect it to take at least four to six months. But don't worry. With the right approach, you can make the process smoother and keep your hair looking fabulous. Here are five tips to help you grow your hair quickly and healthily.
Get Regular Trims to Prevent Split Ends
It might seem counterintuitive, but regular trims will help your hair grow out. Split ends can travel up the hair shaft, causing breakage and making your hair appear thinner. Trimming just a quarter to half an inch every 8-12 weeks will keep your ends healthy and robust, allowing your hair to grow longer without losing its healthy luster.
Take a Multivitamin with Essential Nutrients
Your hair's health starts from within, and a good multivitamin can do wonders for growth. We recommend a formula that includes Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Biotin, and Folic Acid. These nutrients help stimulate hair follicles, promote scalp health, and strengthen hair. This means less risk of breakage and healthier hair overall.
Use a Heat Protectant When Styling
Heat styling tools can wreak havoc on your hair if you're not careful. Always apply a heat protectant before using blow dryers, straighteners, or curling irons to protect your locks from damage. This will create a sort of safety barrier between the damaging heat and your hair, minimizing damage and keeping it healthy as it grows.
Avoid Over-Shampooing Your Hair
Shampooing too frequently can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to breakage. To keep your hair moisturized and healthy, try washing it every other day at most or less frequently if your hair type allows. On non-wash days, you can freshen up with a dry shampoo or rinse with water to remove sweat and buildup.
Incorporate Scalp Massages Into Your Routine
A healthy scalp is so essential for hair growth. Regular scalp massages stimulate blood circulation, bringing more nutrients to your hair follicles and encouraging growth. You can use your fingertips or a scalp massager for a few minutes daily to help keep your scalp in top condition. Not only does this encourage hair growth, but it feels great, too.
