How can you make your hair grow faster?

Answer 1

First of all, some of these answers are really and I mean REALLY stupid...like why would you stand on your head? That's not making your hair grow, that's just causing you to get a serious head-ache...

But all jokes aside, your hair only grows a half inch...it may grow a little bit more in the summer than the winter. You must make sure to get regular trims, a real good deep conditioning every week, don't put so many colors/dyes because putting one in then suddenly not liking it the next;trying to change it the next week! You're only damaging your hair even more.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST DON'T TRY TO PUT A PERM IN YOURSELF OR LET ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS PUT IT IN!!!!!!!!
That's why we hair dressers are here for to do it for you! You're putting yourself at risk by putting a perm in yourself or a friend doing it because you DON'T know whether or not you wahsed it out all the way...so be careful and go to the hair dresser every other weekend to get it done by a hair dresser NOT your friends especially if your working with hot irons, dyes, or perms/relaxers...

Thanks

In short, no pun intended, you can't. Putting pregnancy and illness aside, hair pretty much grows at a maximum rate of half an inch per month no matter what you do. A little faster in the summer than in the winter.

Of all the hair questions that we receive at Hair-Styles.org, questions regarding the speed of hair growth is by far the number one question. Many people write to us with remedies that they have heard about that will make their hair grow faster, from washing the hair with eggs, to cutting their hair during a new moon. This is what we at call, "Hair Voodoo". There is not an inch of truth to any of these remedies.

Hair is a fairly exact science called trichology and there is not much that we do not know about hair structure, chemistry and growth. Most of the Hair Voodoo out there dates back before the onset of modern science. All sorts of conclusions were drawn from what seemed like reasonable observation, but was more often than not just pure conjecture based on coincidences.

Although there is nothing that you can do to make your hair grow faster with current technology, there are a number of things that may actually slow the process such as; a poor hair care regimen, poor diet, illness, medication, male and female pattern hair loss, and emotional stress.

Some of these things don't actually affect the growth rate per se, but they affect the hairs' health and unhealthy hair will probably not grow to its full potential. Besides regular shampooing and conditioning with good quality products, the only other thing that you can really do is take an inexpensive daily multi vitamin such as Centrum or even Flintstones. Don't waste your money on super vitamins. Zinc and Biotin in particular seem to be good for hair and are both found in the above recommendations. Unless you are pregnant or very ill with cancer or the like, your body only requires so many vitamins per day and simply flushes out the excess. In other words, you can't put twenty gallons in a ten gallon tank.

I frequently hear of people taking pre natal pills to make their hair grow faster, even men. The reason that an expecting mother's hair may grow slower or faster has to do with hormonal activity and not the pills. So please, stop doing that.

Well, there it is. You may not like the answer, but that is the scientific facts of the matter. If you still insist on buying into the Hair Voodoo or the thousands of snake oil pitch men out there ready to separate you from your money, well, you know the expression.

Answer 4

Head massarge - a good brush and lots of scalp rubbing. Also keeping it well trimmed and in good condition without too many heavy products. It is also easier to grow hair if you have a few slices or layers cut into it, it gets ytou through the in between stage that everyone hates!

Answer 5

well you have to keep up with your hair basically. after 6 weeks your hair develops dead ends. what you need to do is every 6 weeks is to take off like a half an inch so the dead ends won't prevent your hair from growing longer

Answer 6

Hair is made is the protein, keratin so I guess that if you eat a lot of food high in protein, you will have more material to build your hair and it may grow faster. you could also use hormones, but they can have side-effects and I dont recommend them.

Answer 7

Brush, not comb, your hair, at least, twice a day.
Brush it before you wash it and you won't lose so much in the shower.
Change shampoos as your shampoo may be causing you to lose hair.
Use conditioner that fluffs, not flattens.
Buy Vitamins and Supplements for hair, skin, and nails.
Don't blow dry it. Let it air dry.
When combing, use one of those combs with thick teeth.
Let it hang.
And, last but not least, don't cut it.

Answer 8

Only things that can make your hair longer is internal health. Drink lots of water and take vitamins. Exercise and eat right, voila long healthy hair.
