Tips to Increase Hair Growth

On average, hair grows half an inch every month, but some times, that is not fast enough. Today I'm going to share with you all my tips and trick to increase hair growth.

1. Take vitamins. Biotin, folic acid, and fish oil all can help speed up hair growth. Biotin is a type of B vitamin that increases keratin production, improves hair elasticity and makes hair look fuller and healthier. Folic acid is a prenatal vitamin that encourages tissue growth, which is often seen in the hair, skin and nails. The omega3 fatty acids in fish oil nourish the hair follicles and stimulate hair growth.
   
   
   
   
2. Use a shampoo and conditioner made for hair growth. After I got my hair cut, I searched the internet for ways to grow your hair, and I came across Not Your Mothers Way to Grow Long and Strong shampoo and conditioner. This product is amazing! It smells great, but that is only the cherry on top. They are sulfate free, and contain ingredients like biotin and castor oil (both great for hair growth). Along with helping to grow your hair, it keeps your hair super soft and healthy.
   
3. Use the inversion method. The inversion method is a technique used to speed up hair growth. For this method you sit in a chair and hold your head upside down for five minutes while massaging coconut oil into your scalp. This may sound a little extreme, but it actually works. Holding your head upside down increases the blood flow to your scalp, and the massage stimulates the follicles. This method works best if you do it one week every month, because, if it is done too often, you get use to it and it no longer produces the same results.
   
4. Use a hair mask. As I said in my previous post, you can use coconut oil, cinnamon and baking soda to make a simple hair mask that promotes hair growth. Click here to see my diy hair mask.
5. Keep your hair healthy. Many people say that because your hair grows from the roots, not the ends, that getting split ends will not slow down hair growth. It is true that your hair will continue to grow, but dead ends cause hair to look and feel shorter.
