Follow these Tactics on a Daily Basis and that too strictly and Flaunt with your Beautiful Hair:

Take Good Care of your Hair

To facilitate the growth of your hair you need to take good care of your hair. Even though natural growth of hair is quarter to inch to a half an inch per month, a proper hair care routine can help your hair grow faster.

Use Cold Water for Hair Wash

Hair is an extremely delicate part of the body. You need to handle them very carefully and delicately in order to protect them. While washing hair, be careful about the temperature of water.

Using hot water to wash hair cause them to become dry and brittle. It leads to hair breakage which in turn hampers hair growth. Although the use of cold water is highly recommended for washing hair, you can always use lukewarm water if you want.

Handle Wet Hair Gently

Handle your hair with utmost care when they are wet. Drying them using a regular towel and brushing them roughly will cause them to break. To avoid the hair breakage, take a soft cloth or microfiber towel and dry your hairs gently.

Wash Less Often

Some people like to wash their hair daily but beauty experts recommend against it. Frequent shampooing makes hair excessively dry hence you should not shampoo your hair more than 3 times a week.

Use Conditioner Compulsorily

You should use a conditioner compulsorily each time you are shampooing. Especially those who have extremely dry hair should not forget to use conditioner. For better results, it is recommended to apply to leave in conditioner.

Conditioner restores lipids and proteins inside the hair shaft and makes your hair long and healthy. Remember not to use on the scalp as it will totally reverse its main purpose. Even a small amount of conditioner on the scalp weakens the hair follicles adversely and eventually makes hair fall.

Avoid Frequent Use of Hair Styling Tools

Intensive use of hair styling tools is not in favor of healthy hair. Excessive use of blow dryer, curling iron and hair strengtheners cause significant hair damage. Let your hair dry naturally whenever possible and blow dry them only on special occasions.

Avoid Bleaching

Bleaching is a harsh chemical process that causes hair breakage, stunt hair growth and makes them excessively dry. Go for natural treatments.

Use Hair Masks Often

The hair mask is necessary to replenish the lost moisture of your hair. Regular use of hair masks will keep your hair healthy and render them soft and silky.

There is a variety of hair masks available in the market and you can also make completely natural hair masks at home. You can use yogurt, Aloe Vera, honey, banana, egg, olive oil, coffee, rice water, etc to make hair masks at home.

Massage Your Scalp with Oil

Scalp massage promotes hair growth and improves circulation. There are variety of oils that are best for scalp massage like coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, cinnamon oil, argan oil, jojoba oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, thyme oil, cedar wood oil, palm oil, grape seed oil etc.

Massage combination of some of these oils into your hair and cover your hairs with a hair cap. Run hair dryer over the hair cap for 10 minutes before you wash them.

 Trim Regularly

Regularly trimming your hair is considered to be a really good habit. Even though it doesn’t directly make your hair grow faster, it does keep them healthy by removing split ends.

Take Supplements

If all the external hair treatments fail to serve your purpose, reconsider your diet. It is essential to include all the necessary proteins and nutrients in your diet for long and healthy hair. Most important nutrients necessary for hair growth are vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, Iron, Zinc, and protein.

You can consume natural food that contains all these nutrients or just take supplements. Some popular super foods for the hair are eggs, walnuts, spinach, salmon, sweet potatoes, blueberries, and Greek yogurt.

Brush Them Gently

Brushing hair constantly can cause physical damage to hair. Hence use the right comb to brush your hair and brush them once in the morning and once before the bed.

Use Satin Pillowcase

Ditch your regular cotton pillowcase and go for satin or silk pillowcase. Satin or silk minimizes the friction between pillowcase and your hair which generally results in less hair loss and tangles.

Opt For Healthy Lifestyle

Hairs are part of your body. Having healthy hair without taking care of your body is not possible. Any negative habit that affects your body will affect your hair. Hence it is important to get enough sleep on daily basis, eat a balanced diet, reduce stress levels and drink plenty of water to ensure well-being of your hair.

Give your hair some time to become just like you’ve always wanted. Take a break from your busy schedule and show the love your hairs have always deserved.
