Every girl dreams of it at some time, that long beautiful hair! Well, if you want it, don't just dream about it, grow it! There are some ways to help grow that mane out. You just need to know tricks of the trade.
Haircut
Yes, that's right, if you want long hair, the best thing to do is get a cut. It's best to grow your hair out when it's all the same length. It stays healthier. Hair with lots of layers is hard to keep healthy. It gets split ends quicker, meaning more trims. So ask your stylist to cut your hair to the shortest layer, if your shortest layer is too short, find a layer that you're comfortable with and start there. Circulation
Yep, that's right, get your heart pumping! Also it's a good idea to massage your head every day, either by rubbing your scalp with your finger tips (you can do this while shampooing your hair) or you can just get your significant other to give you a scalp massage! Another tip is to brush your hair daily. You might even turn your head upside down and brush it. But be sure to use a natural boar bristle brush or a soft bristle brush to prevent breakage. Eat Right
Yep, Mom was right when she said to eat your veggies! It's important to have a healthy diet, not just for your hair, but for your health as well. You need vitamins A (diary products, fish) Vitamins B (leafy veggies, meat, fish) and Vitamins E (nuts, broccoli) Vitamin E also helps if you have hair falling out, people who were loosing more hair found by taking vitamin E they didn't loose as much. Eating red meat also helps hair grow quicker. It is rich in zinc and iron, two nutrients proven to help hair grow faster! Keep your Hair Clean
Oily scalp can clog follicles and keep your hair from growing quickly. Your hair grows an average of ½ inch a month. So by keeping a dirty scalp, you could loose that growth. Get Regular Trims
You need to get a trim at least every eight weeks. Be sure to tell your stylist only to trim the ends. You don't want to snip off all of your hard work! Try not to wear you hair in pony tails too often.
This can actually cause breakage if done too often. If you do pull your hair up, don't use rubber bands. Always use the cloth covered holders. Patience!
Yep, just be patient. Take care of your hair, health and before you know it, you'll have long gorgeous locks!
