I have been looking at my hair recently and notice that it is getting longer by the day! It makes me very excited because normally my hair doesn't grow very fast. It seems like some people's hair grows as slow as molasses moves, but others grow their hair inches overnight...what's the deal!!???
For those of who you are like me, and have a hard time growing long hair, there are some tips and tricks you can do to speed up the process.
- Trim your hair!
It may seem odd to trim hair when you are trying to grow it out. However it has been shown that if you trim your ends every 6 weeks or so it will encourage your hair to grow longer. It will also keep your hair looking healthy by getting rid of dead ends :)
- Drink Lots and Lots of Water!
Drinking at least 6-8 cups a day will increase the strength of your hair and keep it looking shiny and healthy.
- Brush Lightly!
Brushing too hard can not only damage hair, it can prevent hair from growing all together; ESPECIALLY if it is wet! If you must brush hair while wet, use a wide tooth comb to avoid breakage and damage.
- Don't Over-wash Your Hair!
Try to only wash hair every second or third day. This will help your hair keep its protective layer of oils and helps it grow longer. Use a dry shampoo for the days when your hair is looking a little oily!
- Let It Be!
This step is the hardest, but style your hair as less as possible. Avoid tight up do’s that might bring on breakage and try to avoid styling products while growing out hair. This will prevent the hair strands from weakening and will help you grow out hair at a faster rate.
