Growing out your hair can be a long pain staking process especially if you've gotten the genes of slow ass growing hair (you not alone) There are many ways in which you can aid your roots and promote its growth rate !
A Thing to Remember !
Lets all be realistic here, we are all different therefore our hair is different as well- depending on the variety each and every one of us has different rates of growing out hair. Some people maybe able to grow twice the amount of hair than someone who can only grow out half the avg length per month. So it takes time and lots of it.
Well then now on to some basic Tips !
Basic Tips
Patience
Holy i think by far this is the most hardest task out of all the other tips and words of advice to follow- i think i can represent the majority of women who suffer from slow growing hair that this is definitely the worst. Patience however is worth the wait. Try and do things that may distract you from having that itch to snip- set a goal for you self, or try and do different hair styles that will help yourself to not cut your hair !
Remove those Split Ends!
Just like your skin, your hair is like a reflection of your overall health of your body- if your hair is not given the proper care then it shows off in your appearance as a whole. Snip off those ends, don't try and convince yourself that it's not a big deal. It is ! Keeping those split ends while having the goal to grow out your hair will go in vain! By keeping those split ends, the conditions will only get worse and the split ends will elevate and go up higher in the shaft ... so in a way its sort of counter acting the grow of your hair So snip it ! If you don't want to change the length of your hair but still want to remove those ends ask the salonist for a Dusting to remove some of the ends but still maintain the length of the hair
Usually people would say that you have to go every 6-8 weeks for a trim. But at the end of the day it depends on the rate at which your hair grows. there's no point in cutting it every 6 weeks if you hair doesn't even grow at the regular rate. "Only if you see signs of split ends, then trim" but if not then you can save money and skip the regular visits to the salon
Protect your Hair!
Your hair is very delicate and the environment can be very harsh on your hairs so ! Against the wind you would always want to keep it tied and not flying anywhere, this prevents it from drying up, and from breakage. Against the Heat, try and wear hats from time to time, or a protective spray so that your hair is not prone to dryness or breakage. Always try and use Cool or luke warm water when Taking a Shower- again prevents futurAe breakage, and fallouts.
When using Hot Iron Tools (which is not recommended) ALWAYS use a heat protectant you will thank it.
What You Can Do To Promote Hair Growth!~
DIY Hot Oil Treatments
for me personally, I don't go out buying the Oil for the drug store or wherever.. i have oil at home? I can just do it myself. (please common sense.. if your doing a DIY .. no canola oil LOL)
Virgin Coconut Oil~
1. Simply heat up coconut oil, not to the point where it is boiling but warm enough to have a sort of liquidy consistency.
Depending on the length of hair, how much coconut oil will vary.
*always concentrate on the ends first and then work you way up*
Coconut oil is a great way for deep conditioning the ends of severely damaged hair- allowing for restoration and smooth hair. It is always best to deep condition your hair once every week.
You can always opt for Hair Masks or even Olive Oil and mixing that with a little honey- heating it up a little and allowing that to sit for about 15-30min. This will also give similar results
Supplements
If you do no regularly take any supplements or vitamins- then you should! Once you realize that these vitamins promotes healthy growing hair then you will definately take these. Vitamins are taken in substitution for the nutrients that you do not often take throughout the day but are vital to your body and overall health
Your hair is again "a reflection of your overall health" !
Some supplements that you can take include:
Omega 3 Fish Oils
Silica Gels
Daily Multivitamins (Ex. Centrum)
**Always talk with a dietitian, doctor or consultant if the supplements or vitamins are right for you**
That is pretty much it !
I hope you enjoyed these tips !
Happy Growing, Cheers !
