Crowning Glory

Want to grow hair long? Well, this is not the right season. The best time to grow hair is during summers when the metabolism is fast and hair naturally grows faster during this season.

Winters and monsoons are sluggish and it can become difficult to grow hair during this time of the year. One of the major cause is the slow metabolism. However, don’t loose heart, for we have some tips and remedies to increase hair growth during the cold weather conditions.

1) Trim your hair every 4 to 6 weeks. Yes, we are asking you to trim your hair inspite of knowing that you want to grow them long. You got it right, trimming is required at least once in a month so that the roots do not become rough and lead to problems like split ends. When you don’t cut your hair at all, it leads to splitting and breaking. A trim of say half an inch would be good enough to promote healthy hair growth.

2) Keep your hair tied, for instance if you want to grow your fringes, then pin them up they will grow faster. Similarly, if you want to increase the over all length, tie the hair into a neat braid or a pony tail. A plait or a braid is better than a pony tail.

3) Keep the length even, uneven hair lengths like that in a layer cut can confuse the hair and your tresses may shed themselves instead of growing long. When the hair length is uneven our hair believes that it should shed the short hair. Hence, hair that is cut straight at the ends without any layers or fringes will grow faster than hair that is of uneven length.

4) If you want to add temporary length to your hair then clip on extensions are a good option. They are also available in different colours, so you can play around with some colours.

5) Another mantra for growing hair long is to eat and sleep well. Good eating habits can play an important role in improving the health of your hair. Include a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the form of salad.
