A
ny woman’s wish is to have a long, healthy
and beautiful hair. However, hair takes its
time to grow and we don’t usually tend to
wait for it. We feel the need to do something about it. There’s countless options we can
follow, to speed our hair’s healthy growth. There’s
no such thing as magical potions to make it grow
suddenly though. If your purpose is to make your
hair grow from a shoulder’s length hair to mid
back length hair quickly, I’m afraid you won’t get it.
Technically all you can actually do, is to apply hair
extensions, clip on ponytails or long wigs.
If you know what patience means though, there’s
a couple of tips you can follow to maximize all
your hair’s potential and consequently make it
grow slightly faster than usual. Here are my 5 tips
to make your hair grow faster!
01. PRACTICE GOOD HAIR HABITS
If you want to have your hair grow faster, you need
healthy hair. Good hair habits will help you avoid
damaging your hair and keep it healthy.
Here some good practices:
1. Use a brush with natural boar bristles.
2. Don’t braid or put your hair in a ponytail when it
is still wet.
3. Avoid chemical treatments such as bleaching,
perms, coloring or highlighting.
4. Minimize heat styling with things such as hot
combs, hair dryers and curling irons.
5. Although the best thing to do, is to avoid using
heat styling, it is still important to dry your hairs
roots after washing it. I learnt this with a specialized doctor. The roots of our hair take a long time
to dry whenever we wash it, between 2 and 3 days
actually. Therefore, it is extremely important to
dry it with a hair dryer. Do not forget the important
thing to is, is to dry your hairs roots, not the ends.
If you leave the ends wet, is no big deal.
02. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET
Eating well and healthy is really important. You
must eat lots of fruits and vegetables. You
should also do a diet based on proteins. Since
hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein
may cause some thinning hair or a retardation in
the growth cycle. For instance, fish, eggs, beans
or yogurt, are filled with protein. Soy protein has
also been found to be helpful in stimulating hair
growth.
Remember, beauty comes from the inside. In a
way, you are what you eat. If you feed yourself
lots of healthy nourishing foods your body will
reflect this.
03. FLAXSEED OIL
Flax Seed Oil is a blue flowering plant that is
grown on the Western Canadian Prairies for its
oil rich seeds. This natural oil is highly recommended for the general well being and whole
body nutrition. It is a natural acids source that
are essential to keep our body healthy.
They are also good for the heart, reducing the
risk of coronary heart disease. The recommended daily dose for most people is at least1,000 mg
taken one to three times daily. Therefore, if you
don’t eat much fish, you must take the Flax Seed
Oil supply in order to help your body have all the
vitamins you need and consequently speed up
your hairs growth.

04. KEEP IT TRIMMED!
To cut your split end is very important. When
you ignore split ends, it ends up leaving you
with shorter hair due to breakage. Damage
to your hair will move up from the ends and
the only way to stop it in its tracks is to remove it as soon as it happens. Do not forget
the hair starts growing from the root, not
the ends. Therefore, whenever the split ends
are cut, your hair follicle is working less to
repair split, dead ends and working more in
the root. If you cut the ends frequently, your
hair will grow faster and healthier. Trust me,
it’s true!
It’s always easy to talk though. It’s hard to
put it into action. I hate having to trim my
hair when I have worked so hard on making
it long! But it’s a need that will bring good
results in a long-term time. Just be patient
05. MASSAGE THE SCALP
Always give yourself a scalp massage. You
will want to massage your hair’s at least
three times a week. Use the tips of your
hands and firmly massage your scalp. Make
sure you cover the entire head. With a good
scalp massage you increase blood circulation which enriches skin with essential nutrients and oxygen. After a massage actively
circulating blood brings the nutrients to do
hair’s follicles. Besides, massage helps to
relax and improves the strength of the roots.
