How to Make Your Hair Grow Faster

Patience is a virtue . . . but for some, it is a waste of time. Most people hate the wait and want results now! So how can you help your hair grow faster? The truth is that there’s no magical cure out there to make your hair grow like Rapunzel. But here are a few tips that will help speed up the process for you.

1. Dry scalp massage – Scalp massages do wonders for your hair. By stimulating blood flow to your head, massages help get necessary nutrients to your follicles faster and more efficiently.

2. Wet hair massage – This is actually quite simple. You probably don’t even realize that you are doing it. By stimulating your scalp with your fingertips when you are washing your hair, you are essentially giving your scalp a massage.

3. Vitamins – It’s a good idea to take the necessary nutrients that your hair needs through a daily vitamin intake. Supplements and multi-vitamins that include antioxidants, vitamin B, and biotin are a great way to encourage the healthy growth of hair and nails.

4. Trim your hair frequently – Making sure to keep on top of split ends and damaged hairs will help keep your hair healthy so that it grows faster and stronger. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that the best way to grow your hair faster is to cut it more often, but it is true.

5. Proper shampooing and conditioning – Shampoo works great to cleanse the hair, but most times it can strip the hair strand of its natural oils and nutrients. This is why following your shampoo with a good conditioner will help replenish the nutrients necessary to keep your hair healthy, shiny, and growing.

6. Less heat – Hair dryers and hair straighteners are two of the most important tools in most women’s styling arsenal. They are, however, two of the most damaging things that can be used on your hair. Overuse of these tools will damage your hair. If you must use them, it is wise to add some sort of heat-resistant product to your hair as well.

7. More cold – If you can handle it, the final rinse of your shampoo and conditioning routine should be done using cold water. By using a cold water rinse before you step out of the shower, you are sealing moisture into the hair cuticles.

8. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy – This treatment has all kinds of benefits for all 4 stages of hair growth. PRP can be used for people who are just wanting to stimulate healthy hair growth. PRP draws your own blood and isolates the blood that is platelet-rich by spinning away the red and white blood cells using a centrifuge. This treatment uses the body’s own natural healing and growth factors to stimulate robust hair growth. The platelet-rich plasma is injected directly into the scalp after it has been spun in the centrifuge. The treatment is fairly pain-free, and it takes only about 45 minutes. The results can be noticed within weeks, and even further results take place after 3 to 6 months when the hair has reached its growth phase.
