how can i get my hair to grow longer faster?

Question

im trying to grow my hair out, but it is growing really slowly. my moms hair grows super fast. is there a natural way i can get mine to grow any faster?

Answer 1

~Try taking vitamins and eating well. Proper nutrition shows in your hair.
~Be careful when you tie your hair up, to prevent breakage.
~Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner, with regular deep conditioning as well.
~Get a natural bristle brush to gently brush your hair (it distributes oil down the hair shaft and stimulates the scalp).
~Try to really massage your scalp when you shampoo. This will stimulate circulation and encourage growth.
~Also get regular trims. This takes off the ends bfore they can split and encourages regrowth. Obviously you have to be careful not to take too much, too often (or you wont make any progress).

Good luck!

How Can I Make My Hair Grow Faster?


The subject I want to discuss today is a question that is often asked and seems to concern many women. It usually comes in two forms; “My hair doesn’t get any longer.” and “How can I make my hair grow faster?”

I’m sorry to say that, despite numerous advertising campaigns, there are no magic ointments or quick fix treatments that will make your hair grow faster. The average growth rate is one half inch per month. Sometimes hair does not seem to get longer because the ends are breaking off, making it appear not only, not to grow but even to get shorter. There isn’t anything you can do to increase that, however you can take certain measures to keep your hair as strong as possible.

Let me explain.
The longer your hair is, the ‘older’ the ends of it are. Everyday, wear and tear, such as sun, wind, blow drying, curling irons and other heat styling tools, even shampooing and brushing, all work together to gradually erode each hair. This eventually causes split ends that will, in turn, result in the hair breaking off.

The first step is prevention. Care for your hair as you would any valuable possession. Use a mild shampoo that is recommended for your hair type, such as: oily hair, dry hair, color treated, etc. If you are unsure, seek the advice of a hairdresser. I suggest using a conditioner after every shampoo; again, one that is formulated for your hair type. The conditioner will soften the hair and reduce the amount of wear causing friction between hair strands. Reduce the amount of heat styling you do. Whenever possible, let your hair dry naturally.

Finally, get regular trims. If you are striving for longer hair, see your hairdresser at least every ten to twelve weeks to have one quarter to one half inch trimmed. This will get rid of any budding split ends while, at the same time, allowing for growth.

While making sure these things are taken care of, remember that the hair papilla, where the hair begins, is nourished by blood vessels, so concentrate on a healthy lifestyle. Make sure you are getting the essential nutrients required by your body and promote good circulation with regular exercise and scalp massage.

Answer 3

Stimulate your scalp. Usually someone playing with your hair and brush it regularly. Also drink plenty of water. There is no quick way for hair to grow fast, just remember it grows about 1/2" per month. No wonder vitamin or those crazy potions will work.

Answer 4

Make sure you get the ends trimmed every 6 weeks. Then the hair will stay healthier, and look nicer. Healthy hair grows faster than damaged hair.

Answer 5

start by eating a healthy diet and drinking lots of water. sugar can make hair growth slow down because your system is trying so hard to break down the sugars. take vitamins B E and D...maybe A as well. try pre natal vitamins, you can also change up your shampoo and conditioner, use mane "N" tail. made my hair grow faster. also try the inversion method, even if your hair dose not grow as fast as your would like you hair will be stronger and healthier.

Answer 6

There is a shampoo called Mane and Tail. It is used to get horses tails to grow faster and keep them smooth and shiny. It is perfectly safe for us too. I used it and my hair was so soft and shiny. You can even purchase a huge bottle for about $6 at Walgreens or any major drug store.

Answer 7

Take the supplement Biotin along with your regular vitamin. Biotin promotes cell growth for your hair. Get regular trims and use deep conditioners to keep it healthy.

Answer 8

Try Lush New Shampoo Bar, it stimulates hair growth and I am happy with the results: http://beauty-tricks.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=300
