When you’re waiting for your hair to grow longer and thicker, the process seems to take a really long time. Even with the knowledge shared by dermatologists that hair grows around six inches each year on average, you don’t feel reassured either. There’s nothing wrong with wanting our hair to grow long to look nice and pretty. Following tips for growing hair faster also means taking care of our hair and making it healthier. If you don’t want to wait too long, you can always go for an alternative by getting good quality hair extensions.

Low manipulation hairstyles

Low manipulation hairstyles are less stressful for your hair and encourage your hair to grow longer. Hairstyles like buns, braid outs, and twist outs are great low manipulation styles. They don’t need to be done daily and will keep your hair stretched, which means fewer tangles and breakage.

Trimming your hair every four months

When you regularly trim your hair every four months or so, you get rid of split ends that can travel up the hair strand and make your hair untidy and frizzy.

Have occasional hot oil treatments

Having hot oil treatments is an excellent way to stimulate your scalp and provide your hair with moisture and shine. The best to use is coconut oil treatments.

Don’t wash daily with shampoo

Shampooing every day will strip your hair of its natural oils. This will result in dry hair. All types of hair are prone to dryness, so you need to alternate your shampooing. Alternate by co-washing with a regular conditioner that suits your hair type, or use a cleansing wash. Just remember to shampoo your hair from time to time to clean out your hair of dirt and product build-up. Also, keep your showers cool or lukewarm. Hot water sucks out moisture from the hair.

Allow your hair to dry naturally

Naturally, air-drying your hair is the best way to dry out your hair. Blow drying or vigorous towelling will remove much moisture from your hair.
