How To Get Longer Hair

How To Grow Longer/ Healthier Hair

<>•<>

1.| Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated throughout the day helps your hair stay hydrated and healthier. The water brings nutrients to your scalp that will allow the roots of your hair to speed up its growth. Water also keeps your hair looking fresh and clean.

2.| No Heat
No heat really means no heat, like styling tools that involves heat (straighteners, curling irons, blow dryers, ect.) Using heat to your hair damages the end of your hair and cause breakage and dryness, leaving you with split ends and frizzy hair. Even if you use a heat protectant, it's still damaging your hair. Go for a few months without heat and if it's a special occasion, then that's alright, but please use a high quality heat protectant or you can make your own.

3.| Trims
Getting a trim every month won't let your hair grow. Instead of every month, get a trim when you see your hair splitting at the ends and it's dry. Only cut half and inch or an inch. It depends how bad your split ends are.

4.| Oils
Using oils is a great way to have rapid speed growth. All you do is take an oil and massage it into your scalp to your ends for 10 minutes. Do this every other day.
(olive oil, coconut oil, lavender oil, vegetable oil, ect.)

5.| Massage
You should have your hair down and all you do is flip it over so you're looking at the ground and massage your scalp for 5 minutes. This brings circulation to your scalp and to your hair follicles, allowing it to grow quicker from the circulation you're giving it. Do this when you wake up, before a shower, and before you fall asleep.

6.| Don't Wash Hair Every Day
Washing your hair every day makes it dry and straggly. You have to allow your hair to get oily. The natural oils that your scalp produces is good for hair growth. When you wash your hair, it gets rid of those important oils that your hair needs. Wash you hair every other two-three days. Sometimes go without washing it for a week. Yes that sounds gross, but it will help I can promise you that.

7.| Cleaning Hair
When you do go wash your hair, make sure you have the right kind of shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. Use your shampoo first, massaging it from your scalp to the rest of your hair. Use the conditioner only on the ends of your hair, not your scalp because it will be a very unnatural oily mess. Rinse the shampoo and conditioner out with cooler water. Colder water does less damage to your hair than hot water. Using cold water makes your hair have a healthy shine to it. When your hair is wet, that is when it's at its weakest time where breakage and damage can occur, so when you dry your hair, don't wrap it in a towel when it wet, that can cause breakage and hair loss. Pat your hair dry, only on the ends. When you brush your hair, use a wide-toothed comb starting from your ends and work your way up. Not from the top down cause that will leave knots and a tangled mess, making more damage.

8.| Braids
Put your hair into a braid so your wet hair won't be flying around getting tangled and breaking. The braid keeps your hair in one section and keeping it more safer and secure.

9.| Hair Masks
Doing a hair mask once a week is very good for hair. Using natural resources to mis together to make a face mask will make your longer hair natural and healthier. Using the very source of the resources is good, no processed or cheap items that is no good. (I will post a part on how to make a hair mask soon)

10.| Vitamins
Get your daily vitamins of iron, biotin, vitamin E, and many more for a hair growth. Finding the supplements are hard to find yet expensive, so if you want to go natural with no pills, then I suggest reading the next one. A good vitamin that focuses on your hair and it grows longer, thicker, faster and healthier is >hairtru<

11.| Healthy Diet
Having a healthy diet is very good for you and your hair. Eating the following will increase hair growth:
✎ Almonds
✎ Salmon
✎ Fruits
✎ Veggies
Cut out all junk food and try out a Mediterranean Diet that consists of fruits and vegetables.

12.| Let It Grow
Don't cut your hair only for trims! Just let it grow, watch, and take pictures of day one till you notice it's longer and see how much it has grown!
