Are you ready? Here are our best-kept secrets to fast hair growth!
Don’t wash every day
Washing your hair every day is a surefire way to get dehydrated strands. Let your hair rest too! Unless it’s particularly dirty, only wash your strands a couple of times a week. Even every other day is better than every single day.
Use clarifying shampoo
Clarifying shampoo is much lighter than regular shampoo, and it cleans more thoroughly too. Make sure to pick one that doesn’t have any paraben or sulphate. Also, if you can get one that matches your hair type perfectly, that would be the best option.
Always use a conditioner
Conditioners do a great job of moisturizing your hair and keeping that moisture in. You know how your hair always looks dry whenever you skip the conditioner? That’s why you shouldn’t forget to always use a conditioner every time you shower.
Drink plenty of water
Since we’re already talking about moisture, here’s the most important thing: Drink water. Lots. Water is not only good for your hair, it’s extremely beneficial to the rest of your body too. You know what they say, “stay hydrated”!
Learn how to exfoliate your scalp
Your scalp, just like your skin, needs proper TLC too. Learning how to exfoliate your scalp properly can help you tons when it comes to hair care. After all, the healthier your scalp, the healthier your strands.
Reduce your heat-styling
Heat-styling can damage your hair in more ways than you can imagine. Even if you can’t always immediately see the negative effects, using heat tools on your hair often can lead to fragile and weakened strands that are more prone to breakages and damages.
Add regular trims to your schedule
If you want to grow your hair long, you should add regular trims to your schedule. There’s no sense trying to grow long hair if your strands just break off at certain lengths due to damage. Trimming regularly helps avoid that.
Eat foods for fast hair growth
Your diet greatly affects your hair growth. If you want fast hair growth, you need to make sure that you’re getting enough nutrition with plenty of vitamins and minerals.
Switch your pillowcases to silk
Silk pillowcases are superior compared to other kinds of pillowcases. For one, they don’t cause friction, which can damage your strands while you’re sleeping. We’ve got some of the best silk pillowcases here at ZALA so be sure to check them out!
Use the right type of brush
Using the wrong type of brush on your hair can cause damage to your strands. For instance, if you have curly hair, you should never ever use a comb on your strands because combs simply aren’t suited for curly hair. Check this guide for more information.
Weekly hair masks is key
Regular conditioners can never compare to deep conditioners whose goal is to deeply nourish and moisturize your strands. For best results, use a hair mask at least once a week.
Always wear sunscreen outside
Your skin isn’t the only thing that needs protection from the sun. Your hair also needs to be protected, especially if you’re trying to grow it out. The heat, as well as the UV rays, can cause your hair to become dehydrated and brittle, which cancels out any efforts to grow your hair long.
Braid your hair on windy days
Wanna know a real secret? Braid your hair on windy days! Wind can actually cause minute damages to your hair, if not just making it visibly frizzy. Braiding it helps keep your hair tidy and prevents it from tangling, which could lead to breakages.
Don’t stress yourself too much
Too much stress can cause irrevocable problems for your hair. Did you know that stress is linked to hair fall and even hair loss. That’s why no matter how hard life may seem sometimes, let’s all hope we can learn to just smile and face it head-on. Easier said than done, we know.
