Whether you’re struggling to take your bob to a lob, or you just want XXL mermaid locks, the frustration of not being able to grow your hair past your shoulders is real. Between breakage, and just seemingly no growth at all, it’s all too easy to become the person who says ‘my hair just won’t grow’. We feel you.
But fear not, because there are loads of easy tips and tricks you need to know to grow your hair faster and longer. Read on for all the info…
How To Grow Your Hair Faster
- Address your diet
Diet is very important for hair growth; you need to be eating sufficient levels of iron, B vitamins, zinc and protein. For an easy-win, add the superfood spirulina to you smoothies, it’s a complete protein rich in chlorophyl which helps our hair to grow.
‘The way diet effects hair growth varies from person to person but issues can occur when someone suddenly changes diet or has drastic weight gain or loss as this can shock and destabilise growth.
As well as greens like kale and iron, this blue-green algae is high in iron (a very important mineral given that the deficiency condition, anaemia, can be a major cause of hair loss).
- Stop clogging your follicles
Dirt, oils and product build-up can clog your follicles, hindering healthy hair growth. To avoid this, try to give your hair a rest from overloading the root area with styling products – dry shampoo and volumising powders are common culprits.
- Exfoliate your scalp
If your scalp is the gateway to healthy hair, it makes sense that exfoliating it helps promote growth. Use a detoxifying shampoo like Aveda Invati Exfoliating Shampoo, or a scalp scrub once a week to thoroughly cleanse and remove excess sebum from follicles – as well as the product build-up mentioned above.
