What is a Good Thing to Do to Help Your Hair Grow Quicker?

Almost everyone would like their hair to grow quickly and healthily.

A Healthy Diet

Cells form the foundation of hair growth. Thus, if a person's cells are healthy, their hair may grow more lustrously and more quickly. Someone looking to gain her healthiest, longest hair should concentrate on eating the most hair-nourishing diet possible. Such a diet includes foods like salmon, dark green veggies, beans, nuts, proteins, eggs, low-fat dairy, oysters and carrots.

Have Realistic Expectations

Assuming that the individual is healthy and special factors like pregnancy are not involved, hair grows at a rate of one-half inch per month. As much as someone may want their hair to sprout like Rapunzel's, rapid hair growth remains unlikely, regardless of how much effort the person may put into their tresses.

Bottom Line

Both sides of the issue agree on two basic, proven main points regarding hair growth. First, a person must be healthy and well-nourished to ensure growth; and second, a person should expect to grow only one-half inch of hair per month. A promise of more growth than that signals quackery.
