How to Grow Your Hair Faster
Does it take forever for your hair to grow longer? Life goes faster...hair grows slower. Well, you're not the only one who gets impatient when it comes to growing your tresses.
Your hair grows approximately half an inch each month. When you think about it, it's nowhere near enough especially if you're in a hurry to try out the latest hair styles. Learn this early. There is no instant way of speeding up your hair growth naturally. Your best bet if you really want to have a particular hair style for some special occasion that is happening NOW is to go for hair extension or use a wig. The key intervention you can make on behalf for your hair is to make sure it is healthy. When your hair is healthy, it grows well. Make this your priority rather than worrying about how to grow your hair instantly. You can't.
But don't worry. There are ways now to have that long hair style that has caught your fancy. Try hair extensions. Modern hair extensions are fantastic and they can easily make a very natural look . Even wigs now are really done well. Go for any of these but go to those who have been professionally trained and who will not damage your natural hair. On your own, take good care of your hair by following some of the tips we have listed for you. Make the wig thing an emergency intervention. Meanwhile, try to grow your hair healthy and here is some help.
Wigs you can try
Make sure it fits your
Massage your scalp regularly
This helps make your hair healthy
You don't always need to go to the spa, beauty parlor or a professional hair stylist and empty the cookie jar to have a head massage. You can do this on your own. The instructions are easy to follow on the labels many of the products you can use. You can check out on an array of internet sites that bost their own "magic formula....but deal well with the old noggin rub.
When we were children, each time we washed our hair, the older members of the family always gave us a piece of mature coconut meat to chew and warned us not to swallow the oil that comes out but to carefully place this on the palm of our hands and slowly bring this to our head and spread evenly. No...we were not being prepared to be a macaroon! It was a bath ritual we learned well until hair oil and other hair products came to the market and we lost interest in our coconut chewing. But this definitely made our hair look healthy and gave our scalp, the source of great hair, a real holiday treatment.
Massage oil for hair growth
Try it
Have a regular care routine that works for your hair
Protect your hair from the sun
Have you noticed how people take extra good care of their skin? Well they should be putting the same energy into their mane. Give it the treatment it deserves. You should condition it every after shampoo and massage your scalp while bathing. Do not use those nails to lather the shampoo on your hair. Massage gently so you don't damage the follicle of your hair.
Brush your hair gently so you don't lose hair unnecessarily. Avoid using rubber band on your hair as the tightening it does can damage your hair. This is true of other tight hair accessories or styles. It is not the style that makes your hair beautiful to look at. It is its health.
Protecting your hair from the sun is another practical technique to make your hair grow faster. Cooked hair does not look or feel great and is even worse if your scalp gets hammered too.
Help your hair grow
Choose what is right for your hair type
Provide the nutrients your hair needs
Eat healthy
Eating fruits, vegetables, and meat rich in protein and vitamin E is one of the effective ways to grow healthy hair in no time at all. These nutrients found mostly in fruits, vegetables, and fish are what your hair need to grow faster. Make sure you get the protein, zinc and essential fat you need.
But most importantly, eat a healthy diet. Avoid those fad diets that often market itself as the solution to your hair problem. A healthy diet will keep your body healthy and functioning well giving your hair the nutrients it need to grow. If your body lacks essential nutrients, your hair will be the first it will deprive of necessary food. When the body gets sick, your hair gets affected. You start losing some.
Load up on water
10 glasses will be good
Drinking at least 10 glasses of water per day can keep your hair hydrated. Water helps your hair retain its natural moisture and shine. On the other hand, avoid caffeinated and alcoholic drinks which can only dry your hair and scalp. You should read more about the volumn of water you need each day. It is a really overlooked health area generally.
Drinking water
What's your regular practice?
Water containers you can bring around
So you always have water
Trim your hair
Every six weeks at least
Shocked? Well contrary to what others believe, trimming your hair at least once every six weeks won't make it shorter in the long run. This often raises doubts in the minds of many but really, it's best for your hair. You can just ask your hairdresser to snip the tips to avoid or get rid of split ends and brittle hair ends.
If you're lucky to be in Cambodia, hair cuts only costs $1. But you can learn to trim your own hair. It is not that difficult. There are many videos on the Net to start you.
The Best Hair Trimmers
Many choices
Use the right products
Your hair will thank you
Using the right products is one thing you need to bear in mind. Check the ingredients of your shampoo, conditioner, and other hair products you often use. Make sure they don't contain chemicals which can be rough on your hair and scalp. Check your laundry detergent label...then your shampoo. If there is much of an ingredient overlap....think about it. Whoever said that growing your hair fast is difficult is obviously both right...and wrong. With a little thought and effort, you can really make a difference.
Don't forget your hair brush. Use one that does not damage your scalp or the follicles of your hair.
Long or short hair?
What do you prefer?
I used to grow my hair long especially in the summer when it is easy to tie it and feel some comfort from the heat but lately, as I mature to more years, I found myself looking old when I sport a long hair so I just keep it short to look a bit younger.
Which hair length do you prefer?

Long
TransplantedSoul says:
Long hair looks better. More work though!
A-Redneck says:
long - long - long
BigGirlBlue says:
I definitely have always preferred long hair but every five or six years or so I do a Halle Berry short cut.
Mujjen says:
I just cut my hair to shoulder length and am very happy with it!
Marelisa says:
Long, definitely. My hair is really long, and I love it. :-)
Short
aesta1 says:
When I reached a certain age, I realized shorter hair keeps the face looking a bit younger.
