On an average hair on the head grows at the rate of approximately 0.5 mm daily. This rate of growth also depends on genetic factors, diet, lifestyle and age of the person. While it may not be possible to have long hair overnight, you can use home remedies to make your hair grow faster. Some of the home remedies are:

1. Hair is made up of protein, so eat foods which contain plenty of protein like fish, eggs, liver, milk products, yeast, wheat germ, sprouts, beans, nuts and yoghurt. Soy protein which is found in tofu also helps.

2. Since hair reflects the overall health of a person, vitamin supplements or fresh food containing the vitamins should be part of the daily diet. Vitamin B complex, biotin and carotene (contained in carrots, yellow fruits and vegetable) are important.



3. Hot oil massages improve the circulation of blood in the scalp and make your hair grow faster. Coconut oil should be applied to the hair for at least an hour so that it is absorbed properly and then washed off. Castor oil can also be used.



4. Trim your hair often, at least once in 5-6 weeks, so that split ends and dry hair are removed. Hair stops growing at the split ends.



5. Apply egg white and neem to your hair. Wash after 3 hours. Alternately, mix eggs and olive oil and apply the mixture to your scalp.



6.Brushing your hair once in the morning and evening improves the circulation in the scalp and makes your hair grow faster. Massaging the scalp with your fingertips also helps improve circulation.

7. Do not blow dry your hair. If possible wash your hair only once a week, with cold water since hot water and harsh shampoos can damage the hair.



8. Drink plenty of water and sleep for 8 - 9 hours a day, since hair grows when a person is resting. Exercising daily will also improve the blood circulation and help your hair grow quickly. Hair grows faster when there is less stress.

It's really a combination of things.

First, you have to have proper nutrition. And you also must drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
Visit these sites to see what kinds of vitamins and foods help hair growth and the other benefits they have:

Boundless Tresses. It's AMAZING. I went from 1/2" of growth a month to a full 1" a month with this. You can purchase it here:

There's an FAQ so you can learn everything you need to know about if from the FAQ.

You also must treat your hair well! No drying shampoos or conditioners with filler. This means that it's best for you to get all hair products from a salon or beauty supply store like Sally's. Drug store products use fillers like clay which can coat the hair shaft and cause it to break.

Do NOT rub your hair with a towel, just blot it and let ir air dry. The only thing your hair should rub against is silk. Which is a good reason to invest in a silk headwrap and silk pillowcases and bedsheets.

Do NOT use heat more than once a month. Heat will cause hair breakage and just keep you further away from your goal. When you do heat style, use a heat protectant. (This includes hair straightening, flat irons, curling irons, diffusers, and blowdryers.)

It's also best if you avoid using styling products like hairspray, gel, mousse all the time as most of these have some sort of alcohol in it with can dry out your hair.

The next thing is moisture and conditioning. It's best if you get a quality deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and daily conditioner.

Once a week or once every two weeks, deep condition your hair.

When you condition your hair with a daily conditioner, leave it on for 10 minutes before washing it out.

Use the co-washing method. That means you might wet your hair everyday and use conditioner, but NOT shampoo. Shampooing everyday isn't really necessary unless your hair is EXTREMELY greasy. You should shampoo the days that you plan on deep conditioning.

When you get out of the shower, you spray the leave-in conditioner in your hair. Infusium 23 Original Formula Leave-In Conditioner is really good. Comb it through with a wide-tooth comb.

Ditch the harsh plastic combs and invest in a boar bristle brush, pick, and wide-tooth comb.

You can also choose to use hot oil treatmens and cholesterol treatments. You should probably do a hot oil treatment once or twice a month and a cholesterol treatment weekly or every two weeks.

People say trimming your hair will grow it longer, but that is FALSE. Your hair grows from the ROOTS, meaning that if you cut your ends, your hair wouldn't recognize this and magically grow. However, trimming will keep your hair neat and get rid of split ends, which makes it stronger and will help with length RETENTION (keeping the length)

I know this is a lot, but I've been growing my hair out and I started above shoulder length, and now it is chest length! Still growing.

I hope you take my advice!

Good luck. ♥

Vitamins are essential for proper hair growth. For healthy sebum in the scalp we require vitamin A. Graying and loss of hair is arrested with the intake of Vitamin B6 and B12. Keratin is produced by Biotin and hair follicles are kept healthy by inositol. Panthothenic acid and Para-amino benzoic acids are also beneficial. These vitamins are present in fruits such as lemon, pineapple and strawberry and in vegetables such as potato.

you can eat a variety of vegetables and fruits, (almost any kind) because they have the vitamins and minerals your body needs to promote healthy growth...good hygiene and nutrition are all that is needed to have a healthy head of hair, unless you are on medication that causes difficulty in growing it...
