Tips to Make Your Hair Grow

Here are a few tips I have learned with trial and error on how to make your hair grow faster. There is no magic pill but a few simple changes can definitely help.


-Drink lots of water. Aim for at least 64 oz. per day. More if you can. If you think it tastes too boring, add a few wedges of lemon or lime. I wouldn't suggest those water flavouring packets, especially if they are made of aspartame or any artificial sweeteners. Here's another tip: don't use artificial sweeteners (Splenda, Twin, Sweet n Low) at all. I won't go into detail, but they are bad for you for a variety of reasons. Bottom line: drink water! It will work wonders for your hair, nails, skin and overall health.

-Eat at least 6 portions of fruits and vegetables per day. Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and minerals your body needs. Additionally, I would suggest take a daily multi-vitamin. Ask your physician which one is right for you.

-Try to incorporate more eggs into your diet. I think it's because of the vitamin E and the protein. It really helps your hair grow.

-Get regular trims. This is important because trims (as little as a quarter-inch) help get rid of split ends. If your hair grows and keeps breaking, the growth will never show. Get the trim and you'll be thankful in the end.

-Use good hair products. Read ingredients when you buy hair products. Look out for alcohol as it dries your hair. Nioxin has a great line of shampoos and conditioners that encourage hair growth. Their products are pricey but really worth it if you want hair to grow. Also, be sure to massage your scalp when you wash your hair. Use your finger pads to rub your scalp in circular motions as it encourages circulation.

Hope these tips help!
