Body Health
When you decide to grow your hair long, you must first ensure that you are in excellent health. If you're currently going through an illness, it may not be the best time to start your journey. So, the first tip to growing long hair is to ensure that you are at optimal health, get a checkup and especially make sure that you do not have any thyroid problems which is a frequent cause of slow hair growth or thinning hair in women.
- Take a multi vitamin daily to make sure you're getting all the nutrients that you body needs to grow healthy hair.
- Eat a healthy diet based on the food pyramid and also drink enough water daily.
Being in your best health will keep your hair growth cycle moving so that you can concern yourself with how you take care of your hair.
Hair Care
Tips for growing long hair includes excellent proper and consistent treatment of your hair. Treat your hair as if it is fine lace!
- Don't yank it or pull it when it's tangly. Take your time and be gentle.
- Limit or eliminate your use of heat tools.
- Wear your hair up so that it doesn't get dry and damaged by clothing, wind, and heat.
The more effort you put into hair care, the more hair you will keep which will help you achieve your results even more quickly.
Hair Maintenance Schedule
Do you maintain your hair? By maintain, I mean, are you shampooing regularly, deep conditioning, and trimming? You do not necessarily have to keep a calendar of your hair maintenance schedule but you should keep it top of mind.
- Make sure you're washing your hair at least once a week.
- Deep condition once or twice a month depending on the condition of your hair.
- I also think it's extremely important to trim your hair regularly.
This could mean every 8 weeks or every 3 months. Again, this will be based on your hair's condition. If you keep your hair trimmed regularly, you'll stop split ends in their tracks resulting over time in less hair needing to be trimmed.Keeping to a hair maintenance schedule will give you a quick way to gauge progess in your long hair goals. There are also a few extra things you can do to enhance growth.
Scalp Stimulation
People are always wondering if there are any secrets to how to grow long hair. There aren't any secrets but there are some additional tips for growing long hair which make sure you're getting optimal blood floor to your hair follicles to keep your growth cycle moving. Learn about essential oils and the effects of peppermint and roesemary on the scalp. These oils tingle and it is said that they help stimulate hair growth.
Practice a daily scalp massage. You can use a massage tool or just use your fingers. This helps keep the blood flowing for optimal growth. I've also read that yoga helps with hair growth. This is due to the many yoga poses where your head is below your knees pushing blood to your head and scalp. These are not necessarily things that will make your hair grow faster, but they will make sure you're achieving optimal growth.
