Can anyone give me any tips on growing hair faster and longer?

Question

I am a black person so my hair 'type' will obviously be different.

I have already been on websites and I have found a few tips but I would like more tips. And yes, you can grow your hair faster and longer. I just know it's possible.

Answer 1

dont spend all your money on expensive stuff, just use tescos or asda

Answer 2

Hair, on average, grows up to 1/2 inch per month, and there aren't many things a person can do to increase that number. However, there are things you can do to ensure steady hair growth. Frequent trimming is the most important. Get the ends trimmed every 6-8 weeks to avoid getting split ends, which can halt hair growth. Nutrition is also important. A lack of nutrients can slow down hair growth. Taking a multi-vitamin supplement may help your hair grow faster. Adequate sleep helps as well, since sleep helps regulate hormone levels.

Hi there, im a 22 year old white female and have long blonde hair just touching the tip of my bottom. Im TERRIFIED of the hairdresser, ive only been a handful of times (usually kicking and screaming as a child!). Any way I dont use hair dyes or any styling products, i dont use thongs or straigheners either. I just let my hair do what it wants really.
However I do try to eat healthy and I think that has a lot to do with the lenght and condition of your hair. (a good sign a horse is healthy is his shiney glossy coat).


Linoleic Acid found in flax seed oil is a must for any1 looking to grow long hair, you can use it as a regular oil or take it in a capsule form. And Copper ensures hair lucious hair colour, thats about all I know but best of luck with it!

Hair only grows 1/8 in. to 1/2 in. a month and it may grow more then that with genetics. Getting the hair trimmed every 6 weeks helps with bad ends. Heat is a bad thing to put on the hair along with hair dyes, hair spray and, anything with a alcohol base in it. (Hair gel works well, but make sure your hair is semi dry when you apply it. You want to put a little bit of gel in your palm and then add water to it and then apply it to your hair. That way with adding water to it wont make the hair feel hard. The water added to it gives the hair something to hold onto, beside just the hair gel). They break down the cortex of your hair, which in return opens them up to drying out and braking off. Never blow dry your hair when it is totally wet allow it to be semi dry if you do. Never comb your hair when its dry this brakes the hair. If you must brush your hair use a wide toothed comb or run your finger through your hair. All the products you see in the stores will dry your hair out most of the time and with excessive use of them can just coat the hair instead of helping the hair. Try Nexxus hair products. They work really well and you can buy them at your local grocery stores and drug stores.

Answer 5

Is your hair natural or relaxed/ permed?

If chemically treated, I would always advise to get it done professionally at a GOOD salon (see Good salon Guide) and follow the stylist's advise on home care.

A few pointers that will hold true for all people:

*Use a good quality shampoo/ conditioner - it really does make all the difference to get one that suits your hair type and not just the cheapest one you can find. if you are on a budget, spend the money on a good quality conditioner.

*Get regular trims (even if you are growing your hair long). Even if a few mm's are cut off, every 6-12 weeks, this will stop split ends forming and keep your hair in tip top condition.

*ALWAYS use thermal protection products when blow-drying/ flat-ironing your hair. NEVER flat iron wet or damp hair and keep the use of irons to a minimum (no more than 2-3 times a week).

*Regular conditioning treatments are essential for chemically treated hair. Visit the salon for one in between your service or do them at home.

*Diet is important. Hair gets its strength from protein (keratin). You can get keratin based conditioners or treatments for use in the salon or at home.

*Sometimes putting your hair in braids/ weave/ twists are a good way for you to grow your hair without even noticing it. Make sure braids are not too tight and left in for an extended period of time. I would advise getting them out every 8-12 weeks for a wash and treatment and rested for a few days before putting them back in.

*If you colour and relax/ perm your hair, ALWAYS have the relaxer done first, WAIT a week or two and then have the colour done (otherwise the reaxer will bleach out the colour and you are subjecting your hair to too many chemicals in a short space of time and will likely lead to hair breakage). I would never advise colouring a perm unless it is a semi-permanent only. These can be done at the same time. Again, I would only get this done professionally at a salon and not at home.

Hope this helps.

Getting it chopped regularly oddly enough makes hair grow faster and longer as that way you get rid of all of the hair that's in bad condition and stopping the healthy hair grow.

Answer 8

I live in China. Before I came here my hair grew really slowly, however, due to the diet of oily food and tonnes of rice, my fingerails and hair grow at an astonishing rate.

My hair is my thicker and healthier than it ever was in the UK. Try it.

Rice is only a few pence from the Save'n'Weigh.

Answer 9

Although there is little scientific evidence around the topic of hair growth, regular massaging of the scalp helps to stimulate cell renewal process, hence speeding up hair growth. It is not necessary to buy expensive shampoos but you should look for one that will condition and thicken hair to ensure your hair grows strong.

Answer 10

stimulation to your scalp helps alot. ever heard of 100 brush strokes before bed time? if you have thick hair use a comb and in your case make sure you keep your hair moisturized or it will just dry up and break off. Keep your hair maintained by getting the ends clipped once or twice a month.

Answer 11

Hi, as stated before - our growth 'rate' is determined by our genetics so no change can be effected there. The best way to improve the growth itself so your hair is at its optimum condition is always to have a good dietary intake - plenty of fresh fish, fruit and vegetables and maybe vitamin supplements should you so wish. Best of luck
