HOW TO INCREASE HAIR GROWTH, QUICKLY AND NATURALLY

How to improve hair growth on the head. What vitamins to drink for hair growth and what hair masks are the most effective.

INNA CODRU , APRIL 05, 2018

Your hair is not growing as fast as you would like, is it? And you do not want to wait a few years to grow long and shiny curls. Fortunately, today it is easy to figure out how to quickly increase hair growth by improving hair care and changing your eating habits a little.

Yes, it's really simple. You do not need to purchase any expensive products or resort to serious medical treatment.

In fact, how you treat your hair - both the products you use in hair care and the foods you eat - all have a huge impact on how healthy and beautiful your hair will be.

In other words, the key to luxurious and radiant hair is proper care.

First, let's look at the reasons why hair suddenly began to grow more slowly:

REASONS FOR SLOW HAIR GROWTH

Unhealthy scalp . The strength, length and shine of your hair depends on the health of your scalp. Your hair cannot grow quickly if you have certain skin imbalances affecting your hair follicles.

Itching, dandruff, irritation, and excessive oiliness of the hair are signs that your scalp is not allowing your hair to grow as beautiful as it should be.

Incorrectly selected hair products . Most hair products on the market are filled with various chemicals that harm both skin and hair.

Harsh cleansers strip the scalp of the natural oils it needs to keep hair healthy. This causes itching, weakens your hair, or vice versa provokes an overproduction of oil at the hair roots.

Excess heat . Heat from styling tools such as curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers can burn and weaken hair, making it brittle and unattractive.

Damaged ends will require you to constantly trim your hair, effectively leaving it only at a certain length.

The wrong diet. The first signs of a bad diet are dull hair, weakened nails, and skin problems.

Your scalp needs key nutrients that allow follicles to create strong, thick and shiny hair.

When your body is deficient in the right nutrients, hair growth will slow down and your hair will weaken because your body will redirect all the nutrients to your vital organs instead of your hair.

Fortunately, our daily habits and lifestyle can always be changed.

Here's what you can do to speed up hair growth:

HAIR CARE TIPS TO ACCELERATE HAIR GROWTH

Massage your scalp

Massaging the scalp just once a day increases blood circulation around the hair follicles several times, which contributes to the actual growth of hair.

It also greatly reduces skin stress, which can also be a key factor in hair loss.

There are several ways to CORRECTLY massage the head:

• Massage with fingertips. Massage the skin with your fingertips in a circular motion for 5 minutes to increase relaxation and reduce stress. It's better to do it daily.
• Shower massage. When shampooing your hair, also massage your scalp with your fingertips in a circular motion. Do this every time you wash your hair.
• Oil massage. Such "oil massages" with coconut, almond, olive or jojoba oil will stimulate your hair follicles and combat dry scalp. Do this massage also in circular motions for 5 minutes, and then rinse your hair. You can do this twice a week.

Trim the ends of your hair once a month

The more damaged your hair is, the more and more often you have to cut it.

However, no matter what, trimming your split ends once a month will prevent further damage.

Comb your hair at least twice a day

Brushing your hair regularly stimulates your follicles, increases circulation to your scalp, and distributes oils from the roots to the ends of your hair.

Improved circulation leads to faster hair growth, and even (when combing) distribution of sebum throughout the hair helps to moisturize your ends and get rid of excess oil in the roots.

For best results, use a natural boar bristle hair brush.

Replace harsh detergents with natural products

Get all chemical shampoos and conditioners out of your sight.

Most of them contain strong cleansers that completely remove all natural oils from the scalp, which seriously impairs the functioning of your hair follicles and thereby damages your hair.

Avoid products that contain sulfates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), silicones, parabens, and alcohol.

Instead, choose natural brands that use certified organic ingredients, since there are more and more organic shampoo stores. After all, by buying an organic shampoo base, you can make a great shampoo yourself by adding the necessary oils and organic additives to it.

Don't wash your hair more than twice a week

Avoid having to wash your hair daily.

Your scalp needs time to produce natural oils to keep your hair strong and well hydrated.

Shampooing too often can lead to dry and brittle hair.

Wash your hair no more than twice a week. Personally, I wash my hair twice a week and have never felt healthier. 😁😁😁.

Use cool or warm water when washing your hair

A hot shower, after all, removes a lot of healthy oils from the scalp, which can cause dry and irritated skin, as well as dandruff.

Cool or lukewarm water will help heal your hair.

Cool water, like a cold shower , has many benefits for both skin and hair, including giving hair an attractive shine and skin tightened pores, which in turn prevents the accumulation of dirt in the pores. This is an excellent remedy for accelerating the growth of hair on the head.

Use drying and styling tools as little as possible

Minimize the use of styling tools that burn and dehydrate your hair.

Let your hair dry on its own as often as possible, and use styling tools only on special occasions.

When using a hair dryer or curling iron, apply a styling product to your hair to reduce the negative effect of heat exposure.

Don't brush your hair while it's wet

Remember, your hair is at its most fragile when it's wet.

Instead of using a regular brush, use a wide comb to brush your hair when you get out of the shower to minimize breakage.

A brush - after the hair is completely dry.

Tie your hair properly

Elastic bands or hair bands can damage your hair. In principle, girls and women with perfectly healthy hair should not be afraid of this, but if your hair is not strong enough, then the hair band will be harmful. When used, such an elastic band tightly pinches the hair shaft and breaks the structure of the hair, making it weak and lifeless. And for owners of "dry hair", it can be fraught with hair loss and breaks.

Instead, use fabric strips or plastic hair clips (the latter should also be chosen with care). You can use, instead of conventional rubber, silicone ties.

Before going to bed, gather your hair

To protect your hair from injury due to friction with the pillow during the night, braid it into a loose braid before going to bed and then secure it with some kind of soft barrette or fabric braid.

Pillowcase should be satin or silk

Satin or silk are much more suitable fabrics for your hair than ordinary pillowcases. Consider purchasing these pillowcases to help reduce the damage caused by rubbing your hair while you sleep.

All these simple tips will help your hair grow faster and help you stay healthy during the process.

Now let's see what treatments can make your hair grow faster.

HAIR GROWTH PRODUCTS

Coconut oil hair mask

There is hardly anything other than COCONUT OIL that can do more good for your body.

Coconut oil is loaded with fatty acids that can penetrate your hair and nourish each hair strand from the inside out.

It nourishes the scalp with lauric acid , a saturated fatty acid that helps hair grow shiny, thick and long by activating the proteins found in the hair.

This mask is ideal for repairing damaged hair and accelerating its growth. This is one of several great hair oils for both hair growth and thickness.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (short hair)


• 2 teaspoons coconut oil (shoulder length hair)


• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (long hair)

MODE OF APPLICATION

• Apply the oil on the scalp with your fingertips or pipette to specific areas of the scalp, but until you have covered the entire scalp.


• Massage your scalp in circular motions for 5 minutes.

Go ahead, look at the best masks for hair growth at home and which hair masks are the most effective.

Castor oil hair mask

CASTOR OIL is one of the most popular ways to achieve fast hair growth.

Ricinoleic acid, the main component of castor oil, also prevents hair loss.

It is also loaded with vitamins E, omega 3 and omega 9, which strengthen your hair and make it thicker.

Since castor oil is quite thick, it is best to mix it with lighter oils to make it easier to apply the hair mask itself.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 3 tablespoons of castor oil.


• 3 tablespoons coconut, almond, olive or jojoba oil.

MODE OF APPLICATION

• Mix oils in a small container.


• Apply the mask on the scalp with your fingertips or pipette to specific areas of the head, but until you have covered the entire scalp.

• Cover your head with a shower cap.


• Leave the oil on your hair for at least 2 hours, and if possible overnight.


• Wash your hair with a good (preferably organic) shampoo.

Peppermint Oil Hair Mask

Peppermint oil is an ESSENTIAL OIL that has been proven to promote hair growth and strengthen it.

Because it is an essential oil, you should always dilute it with a carrier oil.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 10 drops of peppermint oil.


• 2 tablespoons coconut, olive, almond, or jojoba oil

MODE OF APPLICATION

• Mix oils in a small container.


• Apply the mask on the scalp with your fingertips or pipette to specific areas of the head, but until you have covered the entire scalp.

Coconut oil, castor oil, and peppermint oil are the three most effective methods for boosting hair growth. We have considered several options. And you yourself will be able to determine for yourself just such an oil for hair growth, which one is best for you.

Just as you need to feed the skin cells on your head to keep them healthy, you need to feed your entire body with the nutrients you need to create beautiful and shiny hair. So, our next item is vitamins for strengthening and hair growth.

CHANGE YOUR FOOD HABITS TO ACCELERATE HAIR GROWTH

Don't Crash Diet

Extreme diets deplete your body of essential nutrients, leaving your scalp without the minerals and vitamins needed for hair growth. Since your body, first of all, saturates the most important organs with useful substances, and hair is not a vital organ. In this regard, with strict diets, your hair, nails and much more that you love so much will suffer.

Therefore, we will discuss with you what vitamins are needed for hair growth on the head.

Drink 1.5-2 liters of water per day

Be sure to drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day to keep your skin and scalp hydrated.

This will prevent dandruff and dryness and allow your follicles to grow healthy and beautiful hair.

Eat more protein foods

Your hair is made almost entirely of a protein called keratin.

The protein in your diet provides the amino acids that are directly responsible for the production of keratin.

In order to boast healthy, strong and long hair, you will have to eat enough protein every day. The recommended amount of protein consumed per day is 46 g for women and 56 g for men (meaning the content of pure protein).

The best sources of protein are lean meats such as chicken, turkey, tuna, salmon, and sardines.

However, you can still get a decent amount of protein from plant-based sources like soybeans, tofu, lentils, pinto beans, chickpeas, and peas.

Include Biotin-Rich Foods in Your Diet

Biotin is an important B-complex vitamin. It is responsible for maintaining the strength, texture and shine of your hair. Biotin deficiency can cause hair brittleness and even hair loss.

The best sources of biotin are peanuts, almonds, sweet potatoes (potat), eggs, onions, oats, tomatoes, carrots, walnuts, and salmon.

The recommended amount of biotin to consume per day is 300 micrograms. To put it more clearly, this is about 2.5 tea cups of peanuts (for those who are not allergic to them 🙀).

Do not forget about foods containing vitamins A, C and E.

VITAMINS A, C, and E are antioxidants that help your cells produce more collagen, protect your hair follicle cells, help produce healthy sebum on your scalp, and protect your scalp and hair from free radical damage.

Vitamin E accelerates capillary growth and improves blood circulation in the scalp, which helps to grow hair quickly.

The best sources of vitamin A are sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, kale, mustard greens, and collard greens.

You can find vitamin C in papayas, bell peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, and oranges.

Vitamin E can be found in sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach, Swiss chard, avocados, and peanuts.

Eat foods rich in pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).

Pantothenic acid is another vitamin essential for beautiful hair and healthy skin. It gives hair shine, strength and flexibility. Vitamin B5 deficiency can negatively affect hair follicles and cause hair loss.

The foods richest in pantothenic acid are shiitake mushrooms, avocados, sweet potatoes, lentils, peas, crimini mushrooms, and chicken.

CONCLUSIONS

You can grow beautiful hair faster by improving hair care and changing your eating habits.

Treat your hair and scalp daily with massages, gentle cleansing and organic shampoos. This will speed up natural hair growth.

You can also help your hair grow faster by applying hair oil masks that nourish both the follicles and the hair itself. Coconut oil, castor oil, and peppermint oil are among the best for this purpose. However, only you can understand which is the most effective hair growth product for you.

Finally, you need to stick to a certain diet if you want to grow beautiful hair as quickly as possible. By providing your body with the necessary nutrients, you will be rewarded with long and strong hair.
