How To... Make Your Hair Grow Faster Naturally

This is going to be the first of my 'How To' posts and is going to be about increasing your hair length quicker than normal while being totally natural. 

 First of all, you want to make sure you are drinking lots of water as it flushes away all of your toxins which will slow hair growth. If you don't drink much water at the moment, increase the amount you drink slowly as you'll end up going to the toilet a lot and it will keep you up all night, but 4-8 glasses a day is recommended. 

 It's a good idea trim your hair every 6-8 weeks as this will remove any damaged split ends and enables your hair to grow healthier and quicker. 

 It may be hard to cut down the use of heat products but it really pays off, even if you only use heat for 5 out of the 7 days in the week, it will improve the look of your hair and decrease the damage. I only use a hair dryer nowadays and barely use my straightners and, since I have stopped, my hair is a lot softer. However, it is also important to let your hair dry naturally a few times a week as blow drying will cause more split ends to appear.

 About once a week, to keep your scalp healthy, you should condition your scalp as a healthy scalp produces healthy hair. Also, while doing this, you should massage your scalp as it will stimulate growth.

 Wash your hair every other day as when you wash, you are removing the natural oils which help growth. After washing, always comb the hair rather than brushing as when your hair is wet, its more prone to damage and a comb will decreases the damage to your hair.

 Try to style your hair in relaxed styles so they don't pull on your roots and weaken them. The styles can be down or a loose ponytail. Plaits are also good and, apparently, increases hair growth but I'm not sure if this is true.

 Another way to promote hair growth is to increase the amount of protein you eat as protein is good for growth and repair, especially in your hair. Also, you should make sure you are getting all of your vitamins as they will supply your hair with the oils they need to grow.
