Making Hair Grow: A Healthy Body Means Healthy Hair
On average, human hair grows at a rate of half-an-inch per month. The basic guidelines for living a healthy life are the same guidelines for making hair grow faster and longer:
1. Eat a healthy diet. Minimize fat and sugar intake and increase protein.
2. Get plenty of rest.
3. Cut back on smoking, caffeine and sodas.
4. Exercise frequently.
Additional tips:
1. Take supplements known to boost hair growth: Vitamins B, C, E, Beta Carotene, Magnesium.
2. Avoid heat styling.
3. Try hot oil treatments on your scalp.
Just make sure you condition your scalp, massage it for circulation, follow a high-protein Vitamin E and Vitamin D diet, get a dead-end trim, and brush your hair starting at the bottom to prevent breakage. Also, if you hold your head upside-down for about 20-30 seconds a day, it promotes hair growth by awakening your hair follicles. I hate the thought of waiting for it to grow, but don't stress! In a few months you'll look in the mirror and say to yourself, "Wow, it is growing."
Increase blood flow by gently massaging the scalp. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables and plenty of protein. Soy (i.e., tofu) and a variety of beans are a good source of protein. Drink plenty of water. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Stick to a healthy diet. This regimen should be followed for several months, as hair only grows about a half-inch per month.
Do not brush hair when it is wet; this causes breakage. Use a wide tooth comb. If hair has been damaged (perm or coloring), use a good conditioner. You can blow dry your hair but make sure to use a heat protection product.
Mane-N-Tail shampoo is used to make hair grow faster.
I have been taking Prenatal for about 6 months now (I'm not pregnant). My hairstylist recommended it, and i have noticed my hair has grown about twice as fast than it normally does. Usually my hair takes about 4 months just to grow an inch, but after taking this my hair grew 2 inches in only 3 months. I personally would recommend it. Also, buy a good straightener if you want it to stay healthy. I would recommend the CHI Iron -- it's wonderful.
Wash it every week and don't put too many chemicals in your hair. Wrap it every night and put a silk scarf on it -- regular scarves can pull out your hair, but not silky scarves.
Unlike the previous answer, I recommend that you wash and condition it at least once a day. Don't use cheap conditioner. Take niacin or other vitamins to maximize the growth potential. It is good to get a trim every 6-8 weeks to cut off the dead ends. It will help it grow faster.
Washing hair every day does not help it to grow faster. ONLY eating a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water with the addition of a multivitamin will help. Also, exercising increases blood flow in the body therefore will increase blood flow to the scalp as well. Multivitamins from a nutrition store are the best because of the potency.
The best advice I can give you is proper nutrition. Eat food rich in protein (like eggs) and as much fruits and vegetables as you can.
It is recommended that you buy a high quality hair growth product that is all-natural. Find a hair growth product that contains hair growth stimulating essential oils such as Rosemary and Sage, natural herbs, and vitamin rich nutrients your hair needs to grow. Extracts are not as powerful as essentials oils. Also, look at every product's ingredients. Most products available in drugstores and retail stores contain phosphates, sodium lauryl sulfate, petroleum, mineral oil, and other lab-created humectants that damage your hair. Also, stay away from hormone- or chemical-based hair-growth stimulants if at all possible. These will all damage your hair.
Remember to eat a lot of protein, especially fish, for essential fatty acids. If you are a vegetarian, eat lots of legumes and beans. Drink 8-10 glasses of water and take B vitamins.
First try using Garnier Frutis long and strong shampoo. Then massage your scalp on a daily basis. Braid your hair before you go to bed.
First, you need to trim split ends! Then buy ORGANIC SHAMPOOS. If you don't trim the split ends, it will just curl up and make it look shorter and unhealthy. Organic shampoos are better than the regular ones as they don't have that many chemicals. Use olive oil for shine. Try vegan/vegetarian foods. Drink lots of water.
Stress also thins your hair and does not help the growth of it.
You can also use the Doctor Miracal's hair treatment, it works really well.
Everyone's hair grows at different rates. The only way it will grow at its best is to look after it: cut off split ends, wash it when it needs to be washed, and protect it when you are applying heat to it.
It's good to get a trim if you want your hair longer, but it won't make it grow faster: Hair grows from the root, not the ends. Your hair will look better longer if you trim all the dead ends.
Please note
Many prenatal vitamins are prescription, although, there are several prenatal vitamins available over the counter in grocery stores and pharmacies. It would be illegal to take any prescription med that your doctor did not write for you.
Also, prenatal vitamins have much more iron than a regular vitamin. This can cause negative side effects. They can range from constipation to iron poisoning. You should always advise your physician of supplements that you take, especially those for a purpose other than what they are intended.
