Have you ever deeply regret having your hair cut? Sadly, restoring its lost length is quite challenging. However, if you care for achieving quick results, you can give a try to some popular and proven tricks that promote hair growth. Here is the list of the ones worth testing.
The pace at which the hair is able to grow mostly depends on the current state of the strands and the way you treat it on a daily basis. To clarify, if you don’t pay adequate attention to the hair, you shouldn’t expect it to grow long, strong and healthy. It’s also worth realizing that in the case of the hair that is damaged and lacks nutrients, it’s impossible to exploit its growth potential in 100%, and therefore such frazzled hair grows – obviously it grows – but terribly slowly.
How to make the hair grow faster?
First and foremost, you have to make it nourished and moisturized – not only by applying hair care products but also by following a well-balanced diet. If you are now wondering what substances the hair needs to grow long, here is the list: vitamin A, folic acid, biotin, minerals (silicon, zinc, sulfur), as well as fatty acids.
Moreover, the hair will grow faster once you shield it from the damaging factors that disturb the growth phase. What should you steer clear of? Take high temperatures and the sun for example – both factors have a negative influence over the strands. Therefore, you have to make sure that you provide the hair with effective heat and UV protection. Furthermore, it would be best if you approached your hair gently – wash, comb and style it with delicacy. Once you stop tugging the hair, break it and make the follicles weaker, you will observe faster growth.
The best tricks for faster hair growth
There is nothing that would work as effectively as the introduction of a few proven hair growth promoting tricks. Obviously, you can either choose a professional solution like for example scalp mesotherapy that encourages the follicles to be more active. Yet, before spending money on such treatment, which is a costly one, it’d be definitely better to go for home methods ensuring faster hair growth. Which one seems to be the most efficacious? Here is the big five that are worth testing – no doubts about it!
1. Applying castor oil to the scalp
The most common way of encouraging faster hair growth is – obviously – regular application of castor oil that is known for strengthening the follicles and stimulating them to be more productive. The best effects are achieved when the oil is rubbed into the scalp. Since natural castor oil is rather thick, it’s suggested combining it with other natural oils, e.g. argan oil, jojoba oil, almond oil.
2. Using an onion scalp conditioner
Another popular trick that encourages hair growth is the application of home scalp conditioners, made of onion, for example. How to prepare one at home? Grate an onion finely. Squeeze out the nutrient-dense onion juice to rub it into the scalp prior to every hair washing.
3. Doing a scalp massage regularly
While applying either castor oil or scalp conditioner, you just have to devote a short while to a scalp massage. You should do it not only to help your skin relax but mostly in order to help the precious nutrients penetrate the scalp deeply to reach the innermost skin layers. When done regularly, the scalp massage boosts blood flow in the skin and, as a result, the hair starts growing faster and becomes stronger. Even the hair’s resilience is visibly improved.
4. Washing hair with horsetail/nettle infusion
All the girls who dabble in hair care know that there are two brilliant herbs to boost the hair: horsetail and nettle. Both of them are rich in phytosterols, flavonoids, antioxidants and valuable minerals. What you have to do is infuse either fresh or dry leaves of the herbs. When the infusion cools down, strain it and rub it into the scalp.
5. Applying a beer hair mask
The last trick for faster hair growth, which enjoys huge popularity, is application of a beer hair mask. It’s been proven that beer is beneficial for hair. Containing nourishing yeast, beer significantly promotes hair growth. If you combine flat beer with an egg and a spoon of oil, you will create an ideal hair mask that will help you grow long hair.
