The best way to make your hair grow faster

Did you just get a short haircut and are now finding yourself regretting it? Luckily for you, there are lots

of ways to encourage it to grow fast, healthy, and strong. Massaging your scalp or applying special hair
treatments are both good bets. Eating a healthy, well- balanced diet can also help encourage your hair to grow. Most importantly, however, make sure that you take good care of your hair to prevent damage from occurring. Damaged, unhealthy hair tends to break, which won't help at all if you're trying to grow it out!



Part One of Two:
Trying Scalp and Hair Treatments

1. Massage your scalp. Massaging any part of your body improves circulation by increasing blood flow to the area, and your scalp is no exception. When you massage your scalp, the increased blood flow stimulates your hair follicles
to grow. Scalp massage is a simple and easy technique for helping your hair grow in healthy and fast.

• Try massaging your scalp every time you take a shower. Use the tips of your fingers to gently rub your scalp in a circular motion. Be sure to cover the front, back and sides of your head.

• Repeat the process as much as you like. It has the added benefit of reducing tension and helping you feel calm.

2. Rub your scalp with essential oils. Certain essential oils have been shown to help stimulate new hair growth. Increase the benefits of your scalp massage by working in a small amount of essential oil. Pour five to ten drops of oil over your fingertips and massage the oil all over your scalp. Try one of these essential oils:


 [1] Peppermint, which improves circulation.
 [2] Tea tree oil, which soothes the scalp and helps improve dandruff.
 [3] Lemon oil, which promotes healthy hair growth.

3. Do an oil conditioning treatment. This serves the dual purpose of helping promote hair growth and keeping the hair you have strong and soft. Coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil and castor oil
are all thought to help hair grow in thick and strong. To do a conditioning treatment, follow these steps:
- For olive oil, have damp hair and distribute it throughout your hair. Then flip your head upside down and massage your scalp for 2-3 minutes.

- Wet your hair and massage one to two
tablespoons of oil into your scalp for five minutes.

-Run your fingers through your hair to
distribute the oil from your roots to the tips of your hair. You can also use a wide-tooth comb.

-Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the oil soak in for one to two hours.
Shampoo your hair as normal. You may have to wash it twice to remove excess oil.

4. Make a restorative hair mask. If your hair is dry or thin, treating it with a nutritious mask can help restore its luster. A restorative hair mask may not help your hair grow quickly, but by protecting the hair you have, it will keep you from having to trim off split ends and take a step backward on your journey to having longer hair.
Here's how to make a hair mask:

• Crack one egg into a bowl and beat it lightly.
• Mix in two tablespoons of plain yogurt and one tablespoon of honey.
• Apply to wet hair and let it sit for 20
minutes.
• Shampoo your hair as normal to wash out the mask.

5. Use a boar bristle brush. This is a special type of brush made with natural fibers that closely resemble the texture of human hair. It is used to pull sebum, the natural oil secreted by your scalp, all the way to the tips of your hair. This protects your hair from roots to tips and
keeps it healthy and strong. Here's how to use one:

• Place the brush against your scalp and rub it back and forth to massage your head and pick up your natural oil.
• In one long stroke, pull the brush from your roots to the tips of your hair. Keep stroking the same section of hair until it looks glossy and smooth.
• Continue this process section by section until you have massaged your entire scalp and brushed out all of your hair.
• Make sure you get a boar bristle brush. This doesn't work with plastic or metal brushes.

Being Healthy From the Inside Out

Eat plenty of protein: eat lean meat, fish, egg, and dairy product of high protein.

Eat biotin: this is a B vitamin essential for hair growth. Eat nuts, salmon, avocados, meat product and wheat bran.

Eat Vitamins A and C. These vitamins help hair stay glossy and healthy. Eat Sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, butternut
squash and pumpkin, which are all rich in Vitamin A.

 Eat omega 3 fatty acids. These "good" fats support your scalp's health and promote healthy growth of hair and skin cells. Omega 3 fatty acid is found in salmon, sardines, mackerel, flax seeds and walnuts.

Stay hydrated. When your body is dehydrated, it shows in your hair. Your hair can become dry, brittle and more prone to breakage. When your hair breaks and frays, it's more difficult to grow it into the longer style you're after. Make sure you stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water every day.
