Who doesn’t want long and luscious hair? Deep inside most of us desire long mane like Rapunzel. While it may not be an easy task for many of us to grow it out there are some tips and tricks that you can do to speed up the hair growth process. In today’s post, let’s find out what they are!
* Scalp stimulationMake this a habit of running your fingers through the hair roots in massaging motions. It will ensure proper blood stimulation to your scalp which will definitely lead to a faster hair growth. You don’t even have to use any product and can do it twice a day.
* Pamper your locksMost of us do the oiling-shampooing-conditioning routine but how many of us use hair packs or go for hair spa regularly? So try to incorporate hair packs once a week and a hair spa every fifteen days to improve the overall quality of your hair.
* Hot oil massages
You can use any oil that suits your hair and you just need to slightly warm it up before applying on your scalp. Hot oil penetrates deep within the hair shaft and provides you with essential nutrients that are essential for hair growth.
* Avoid tight hairstylesTight braids, ponytails or even buns can pull your strands. This makes them loose from the roots, and thus, more prone to breakage. It makes the hair weak and causes permanent damage. So every once in a while let your hair loose and don’t go for too tight rubber bands to tie your hair.
* Use supplements
A supplement like Biotin can really speed up the hair growth process. If you think no matter what you do, your hair still doesn’t grow as much as you like it to then go for Biotin – but after consulting a doctor.
* Have a balanced dietIt is a no-brainer! We are what we eat! Incorporate loads of fresh fruits, vegetables, protein and iron in your diet. Also, don’t forget to drink ample amounts of water. If you are eating healthy then it definitely shows on your skin as well your hair.
* Maintain water temperature properlyToo hot showers can damage your hair follicles and restrict hair growth while too cold showers will constrict the capillaries on your scalp that carry nutrients and pick up waste products from the skin’s surface. So try to use water at normal temperature to wash your hair to ensure that your hair doesn’t get damaged.
* Try inversion methodUse any lukewarm oil to massage your hair properly for 5 min. Then bend forward so that your head is facing your chest and your hair is falling over your head towards the floor. Stay like this for 3 minutes at least while deep breathing at the same time. This will ensure your hair follicles are properly stimulated and there is enough blood flow which leads to faster hair growth.
