You can’t talk about how to grow hair faster without talking about tips for growing longer hair.

If you are a hair lover like me, you would have tried different products and probably gotten disappointed a lot of times. But since you are reading this, it means you have not given up on your search for how to grow hair faster.

Thankfully so because this article is everything you have ever needed to get those long strands you so desire. It reveals inexpensive, natural, and effective ways to grow your strands longer and quicker.

Let me begin by breaking this to you, there are no products or methods that can help you achieve instant or magical growth.

However, there are things you can do to improve not just the length, but the texture of your strands as well.

Undoubtedly, gene plays a major role in the texture and length of a person’s hair, but improving on whatever your genetic make-up has to offer is very achievable.

Read on for more insights on how to grow hair faster.

11 Ways to Make Your Hair Grow Longer and Faster

1. It Starts with What You Eat

A lot of people don’t like to hear this, but your diet affects many things about you, and your hair is one of them.

If you want to help your hair grow healthier and longer, try not to restrict your diet because a restrictive diet limits the nutrients and resources that your strands receive to grow well.

When a person restricts their diet, the body sends the little available nutrients to other body parts that are of greater priority than the follicles, leaving it without adequate nutrients.

The result is a halt in the growth of strands. It can also cause shedding, which usually persists for months even after healthy feeding has been restored.

Extra Tip: Protein is an essential nutrient for healthy hair growth. A balanced diet with enough protein (about 50 grams daily) will be very helpful.

2. A Simple Scalp Massage is What You Need

The scalp is to the hair what soil is to a plant. Just like fertile soil will produce healthy plants, also, a healthy scalp will grow quality and healthy strands.

According to research, a scalp massage affects blood pressure, the stress hormone, and heart rate. It allows more blood to flow to the scalp, making the hair roots stronger and causing the follicle to receive nutrients more quickly.

You do not necessarily need to go to the spa for this treatment. You can do it by yourself, in the comfort of your home, with or without massage oil. However, using an oil rich in nutrients is an added benefit. Rosemary oil is a good example.

3. Have You Heard About the Egg Yolk Mask?

If your hair breaks off easily, and you are thinking of a natural and cost-efficient way to strengthen your hair, try the egg yolk mask.

Egg makes strands strong, nourishes, and heals them with its protein and lecithin contents. It is also rich in sulfur which is good for fighting dandruff.

All you have to do is mix two eggs with two tablespoons of olive oil, then dilute with half a cup of water to make it less sticky.

Message the mixture into your hair and leave for thirty minutes, after which you do the normal shampooing and conditioning.

4. Essential Oils are also a Good Option

Three different studies published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) revealed that pumpkin seed oil, peppermint oil, and rosemary oil affect the growth rate of hair.

In addition to improving the strands, they also make them smell nice too.

5. Heated Tools Do You More Harm than Good

Sadly, most of the hairstyling methods for women involve heat, and although some stylists know that this is not helpful for the strands, they prioritize making you look good over anything else.

Well, if you prefer long hair over stylish ones, now is the time to limit heat styling options including hand drying.

Since stopping them completely is almost impossible, options like decreasing the temperature of the tool, and using heat protectant products before styling can help decrease the breakage.

Heat protectant products form a protective level that significantly decreases the loss of moisture caused by heated tools.

6. Use Products that Contain Caffeine

Although your hair has a natural tendency of growing between a quarter to half an inch monthly, how you treat it influences its growth rate.

Caffeine not only boosts your energy, but also promotes and enhances strands at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels.

If you are interested in buying products that will improve your strands, try the caffeine-infused ones.

7. As Much as You Can, Avoid Dyes

Generally, exposing your hair to more chemicals hinders its chances of growing well.

While dyes make you look trendy and can give your hair beautiful shades of different colours, it equally stresses it and changes its texture, leading to breakage. More so, the cuticle can be damaged as a result of bleaching.

8. Handle Tangled Strands with Care

Detangling has to be one of the most challenging things when it comes to hair care.

It takes great patience to gently loosen the knots, but if you do it well, you will be saving yourself from losing multiple strands.

On the other hand, brushing your hair hastily will cause avoidable breakage and loss.

Breakage can also be caused by the type of brush you use, and the time you choose to brush.

It is best to brush your hair before washing it and do so using a detangling brush, wide-toothed comb, or paddle brush that has rounded bristles.

These brushes and comb give a better result.

9. Your Choice of Pillowcase Matters Too

As trivial as it may sound, using the wrong pillowcase can cause you to lose a good amount of your hair.

Pillowcases made with silk or satin are better than those made with cotton because cotton absorbs moisture. Following the absorption, the strands become dry, tangled, and start to break.

Extra Tip: if you do not have a silk or satin pillowcase, use a hair cover made of silk or satin before going to bed.

10. Try Not to Use Shampoo Daily

Too much of everything is bad, and so is it with the shampoo. Even though your hair needs it from time to time, using it in excess prevents your natural oil from penetrating the strands.

Normally, this oil works to hydrate and repair the strands, a function that can be hindered by too much shampoo.

11. You May Need to Drop the Cigar

How to Grow Hair Faster

It will be difficult to grow long and healthy hair if you have a smoking habit.

This is because smoking reduces blood flow to the follicles and scalp, thereby, decreasing oxygen supply, and the necessary nutrients that promote healthy and long strands.

If you desperately want those strands, you may have to quit smoking.

If you have read through this article on how to grow hair faster patiently, you would have seen eleven easy and pocket-friendly ways to grow your hair fast.

However, if you are still unsure, or think you need special advice/attention, you may need to see your doctor (a trichologist).
