- 1). Trim your hair regularly. Whether or not you are trying to make hair grow faster, you need to get regular haircuts to get rid of split ends. If you don't do this you won't be able to grow long healthy hair. Try getting a half-inch trimmed off every six to eight weeks.
- 2). Treat your hair very carefully. Do not brush it unless it needs brushing. Avoid blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. Don't dye it, perm it or relax it. Use a hot oil treatment once a week to enhance shine and overall health. Use a gentle shampoo without sulfates, which can dry and damage hair follicles.
- 3). Take nutritional supplements known for their ability to help grow hair faster. The most important supplement is vitamin B complex, which are essential for healthy hair and skin. Vitamin C and E also are useful because they are antioxidants, which means they promote cell renewal and increase circulation. Increased circulation enables the nutrients from your diet to reach the hair follicles for nourishment much easier. Antioxidants also help prevent damage from the environment and cell oxidation. Beta carotene, which is converted vitamin A, helps to create a protective coating around hair follicles and other fibers.
There a two other supplements you may want to consider taking if you want to get long, healthy hair fast. One is flaxseed oil and the other is nettle. Flaxseed oil is rich with essential fatty acids that help protect the cells from damage. Nettle works because it is rich in vitamins and minerals and it inhibits 5-alpha-reductase enzymes. 5-alpha-reductase convert testosterone DHT, which is the hormone that causes hair loss in many people. - 4). Eat right and sleep well. A healthy diet and adequate sleep ensure that your body is adequately rested and nourished, which in turn makes it more possible for you to have long, healthy hair fast. Additionally, avoid smoking and caffeine; both can delay hair growth.
