Sorry, there’s no miracle product or trick to make your hair grow faster, your best bet is to take really good care of it and have patience. Here are some tips: A lot of professionals will say to get a trim every 6 weeks or so, but all that did was make my hair shorter. The best thing to do is to only trim it when you notice split ends and trim it only enough to get rid of them. Invest in a great deep conditioner. It’s best to condition your hair when it’s dry, because wet hair is already saturated and doesn’t absorb the product as well. Use a shampoo formulated for babies, as it’s much gentler. Don’t over-dye your hair Keep heat-styling to a minimun, preferably special occasions only. Your heat will weaken your hair and make it more likely to break, which will result in your hair shortening instead of lengthening. If you do a lot of swimming, either wear a swim cap or comb a blob of conditioner through your hair and pull it into a tight bun to prevent the chlorine and salt water from saturating your hair. When applying product, take extra care in making sure ends are covered. Buy a protein-mist which will strengthen hair and make it less likely to break. Eat a balanced diet and drink lots of water which will maximize your hair’s growth. Instead of using a brush, use a wide-tooth comb, which doesn’t cause as much breakage. Keep stress levels down. If you’re very stressed, it can slow hair growth. Do not comb or brush hair when it is wet, as that is when it is the weakest. Always apply conditioner from the ears down and never on the scalp. Conditioning too often can cause the cuticle layer of hair to lift making hair brittle and leading to breakage. Protect your hair from over-exposure to the sun, salt or chlorinated water, wind and air pollution by wearing a hat, cap or scarf. Use styling products with extreme care as they often contain alcohol or other harsh chemicals used to keep the hair in place and to give the appearance of shiny healthy hair and tend to damage the hair. Try a satin pillowcase instead of cotton case so that the hair glides when you move in your sleep. Hair should be put in a ponytail on top of the head. Always use rubber bands that are wrapped in cloth, commonly known as “scrunchies.”
