How To Speed Up Hair Growth

Some of us use hair extensions to hide a bad haircut while we’re waiting for our natural hair to grow out. On average, a person’s hair grows a half millimeter per day, a half inch per month, and 6 inches per year. While tape in hair extensions are a great option for this, there are other ways that you can speed up your hair growth.

Change Your Diet

When you have a healthy diet filled with the right combination of protein, minerals, and vitamins, you can see hair growth in as little as 2 months. A healthy diet should include an even amount of B vitamins, vitamin C, Iron, Zinc and high-quality proteins. High-quality proteins can be found in fish, lean meat, chicken, and beans. Eating a healthy diet nourishes your bloodstream which helps your hair become more full.

Relax

Experiencing high levels of stress in your daily life can impact your hair growth. Experts claim that hormones associated with stress and cause hair loss. So relax, and your hair will grow in time!

Wash Your Scalp

Keeping your scalp clean and free of too much oil is key to a healthy environment for hair growth. It is also recommend to massage your scalp when washing your hair to stimulate blood flow. Be careful not to wash your hair too much! This can cause dryness and breakage.

Lay Off The Heat Tools

Do not overstyle your hair! Hair growth begins on the inside of your body but if you’re creating an unwelcoming environment by using heat tools you will cause breakage. Make sure to stay away from tight braids and excessive hair pulling. No matter how healthy the new hair is, if you cause breakage and damage you will never have thick and fast growing hair!
