Want longer locks? How to grow your hair quickly
GROWING your hair quickly is no easy feat. The stresses of everyday life combined with frazzle-inducing appliances can leave hair susceptible to damage and without a chance of ever getting longer. Read our top tips on how to get luscious and long locks.
Strengthen Your Hair
First things first, if your hair is already in a bad way, your best bet is to get rid of the damage and start afresh.
But don’t panic, this doesn’t mean you need to rush out and get a buzz cut – regularly trimming damaged hair to remove split ends (in extreme cases this means getting a trim every 6 weeks) can stop damage in its track and help prevent split hairs from traveling further up the strand, weakening the hair and making it prone to breakage.
Contrary to popular belief, trimming your hair does not in fact promote faster growth (it’s hair, not grass) but may help prevent hair damage that can lead to the appearance of slower or less healthy hair growth.
Pamper your hair
Even with regular trims, no one can achieve long hair without looking after its condition. Washing and treating your hair with the right products can make all the difference.
Hair needs to be treated with protein-based shampoos and conditioners, to make it stronger so it doesn't split or break.
For a hair growth boost try out Nism’s F.A.S.T shampoo and conditioner. The clinically proven products combine a special blend of natural herbs and essential amino acids, feeding bedraggled hair with an intensive burst of the essential proteins and nutrients needed to achieve a longer length.
The more you can do to pamper the tips of your hair to help them, the less you'll need to cut them and hair oils are fast being recognised as a hair-saving miracle treatment. The luxurious Jenoris pistachio oil protects and rehabilitates hair fibres, preventing split ends with a concentration of goodness that will leave your hair soft, manageable and super shiny.
Dont forget, oil is incredibly beneficial for your hair and scalp, but you don't want to use it everyday – unless you want hair that you could batter a fish in.
Heat from appliances and friction from brushes can leave you with dry, brittle and weak hair
Massage your scalp
Your scalp likes to be touched. A gentle scalp massage every day will stimulate the blood supply to the hair follicle, bringing it nutrition and helping increase hair growth.
The more you help the follicle secrete oil and push out the hair, the better.
Before you go to bed each night, spend a couple of minutes gently rotating your fingertips around, massaging the scalp.
Rethink Your Styling Routine
Heat from appliances and friction from brushes can leave you with dry, brittle and weak hair that will snap at the mere suggestion of being combed.
If you are extremely dedicated to getting longer, healthy hair you need to stop using all heated styling appliances full stop.
If you absolutely must blow dry your hair and can’t face leaving the house otherwise, do so on the lowest setting and air dry your hair as much as possible before finishing it up with the blow dryer to give it a bit of volume.
Detangle your hair with only a wide-tooth comb or hairbrush. It may be a slightly odd looking lump of plastic, but there really is no better brush than the Tangle Teezer.
However, rigorously brushing your hair (especially when it is wet) will cause breakage. Also be wary of tying your hair up too tightly.
Don’t cover your hair in harsh chemicals
To get longer locks you must resist the urge to throw harsh chemicals all over your hair.
Avoid perming, crimping, chemically or mechanically straightening, curling, and bleaching or repeatedly coloring hair. These treatments can weaken hair strands and stress hair follicles, leading to increased hair breakage and even hair loss.
If you have to dye your hair, try something gentle like Lush’s synthetic-free Henna, which can actually improve the condition of your hair, or the nourishing, ammonia free Hair Wonder, which will give you vibrant colour without stripping your hair of its luster.
Avoid stress
Avoiding stress is easier said than done, but intense physical or emotional stress can cause hair growth to slow or shut down completely. In severe cases, stress can even cause hair loss.
If you feel that you are suffering from hair loss, you may be able to achieve thicker locks with NIOXIN's customised range of hair and scalp products. Nioxin is proven to deliver noticeably thicker, denser-looking hair.
There is no single cause of hair loss however, with genetics, diet and your environment all being contributing factors.
Several underlying health issues can also cause hair thinning, including a malfunctioning of the hormone-producing thyroid gland and the natural hormonal changes women experience after pregnancy and during the menopause. Make sure to see your doctor if you are concerned.
A healthy diet will result in happy hair
Treat your hair right from the inside out by eating a balanced amount of protein every day.
Hair is largely composed of keratin, a protein made up of amino acids, so eating protein is essential for healthy hair growth. To grow new hair, your body must produce more amino acids, which it can only do from consuming protein.
Healthy protein sources include lean meat, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, and soy products. Ensuring you have enough protein in your daily diet will literally give your body the building blocks for new hair growth.
