We’ve all been there: you go to the hairdresser to trim “just the ends,” but the haircut ends up being much shorter than intended. Although such a short cut can of course look great, you may miss your long locks. We will therefore tell you how you can stimulate hair growth so that your hair grows back quickly.
Different factors
The average person’s hair grows about one centimeter per month. If you have a short bob and want to grow your hair past your shoulders, this may take a year. However, it is a little more complicated because your hair growth is influenced positively and negatively by various factors.
For women, for example, hormones play a large role in hair growth. But diets, poor nutrition, air pollution, medications, blood circulation and improper hair care can also limit hair growth. Certain factors can not only hinder hair growth but even lead to hair loss.
Stimulate hair growth
There is also good news because there are ways you can stimulate your hair growth. The most important thing is a healthy diet and lifestyle. If you eat healthily, get enough sleep and don’t smoke, this will also be reflected in your hair. Your hair needs protein and vitamins A and C. The last two stimulate the production of sebum, a natural conditioner for your hair.
Hair care
Taking good care of your hair and scalp can also help. Get your hair cut regularly to prevent it from drying out and breaking. The heat of hairdryers and straighteners, sleeping on a cotton pillowcase, and brushing your hair while wet can also damage your hair and cause it to break more quickly. So use the hairdryer or straightener as little as possible. You really can’t resist? Then use a heat-resistant spray to protect your hair. For example, buy a silk pillowcase instead of a cotton pillowcase and always let your hair dry before brushing it. When you do this, you stimulate hair growth.
Sun and head massages
Additionally, there are two ways to give your hair growth a real boost: the sun and scalp massages. In summer your hair grows ten percent faster than in winter. That would mean it would take you one month less to grow your hair four inches. Scalp massages speed up this process even more because it stimulates blood flow to your scalp, making your hair follicles work harder. In short: with a bit of luck and effort, your hair will grow an inch and a half every month. And that makes a difference!
