Hair Help

Growing your hair long can be a nightmare, the most difficult part of growing hair is to get the style right. Though our hair grows half an inch every month and no one would like to trim the ends but for a healthy hair growth trimming is essential. It may sound foolish to trim hair when you want to grow them but trimming helps is quicker growth. The reason being, when hair is of equal length overall, the growth becomes faster and the hair becomes thicker. Whereas if the haircut has too many layers or steps the hair growth is deteriorated.

This deterioration is due to hair fall, our hair tends to shed itself to get an even length. So remember if you want to grow your hair long, you need to cut it all in the same length.

Another way is to tie your hair into a smart pony tail, it looks chick and doesn’t really need much styling. Moreover you don’t need a haircut for wearing a pony tail, alternatively you can also tie a plait. Regular scalp massage with hair oils is known to boost hair growth, massage stimulates the hair folicles and activates the oil glands.

Massage has multiple properties, it also relives muscle ache in the neck. So utilize as many chances as you get to massage your scalp, knead your scalp while you shampoo your hair. But remember too much of massaging is also not good. So a head massage with hair oil twice or thrice in a week is good enough.

Another way of activating the hair follicles for better growth is by brushing your hair instead of combing, but here again too much is bad, 8 to 10 strokes of brushing is ideal. Over brushing can damage the cuuticles and cause breakage.

Finally remember that hair grows faster during summer and the growth is very sluggish during winter. Like our metabolism even hair growth becomes sluggish during winter. So if you think of growing your hair then grow them during summer. As much as possible keep your hair tied, it will grow faster.
