How to Grow Hair Long Gracefully

If you are tired of your short hair and desire a long, beautiful, flowing mane, it is time to let your hair grow out with grace. You'll have to commit to a regimen and possibly change your diet, but you'll love the results.

Instructions

1. Invest in hair health. Ask your stylist to trim off any damaged hair and to start you on a maintenance program to promote healthy hair growth. This may include special conditioners to reverse previous damage to your hair.

2. Keep it trimmed. This is key to growing your hair out gracefully. Visit your stylist every two to three months for a trim. This keeps your hair healthy while you grow it out. It also helps you avoid split ends that make long hair look damaged.

3. Use quality hair products. Ask your stylist which products are right for your hair. Salon grade products, although more expensive, tend to be better for your hair than products bought at your local grocery store.

4. Keep yourself healthy. Healthy hair is a reflection of a healthy body. If you are eating nutritious meals and taking vitamins regularly, your hair reflects that. Proper nutrition helps to grow your long hair gracefully more than anything else.

5. Comb and brush your locks regularly, but don't overdo it. Too much brushing and combing damages delicate hair. Ask your stylist which comb or brush is right for your hair type.

6. Be patient. On average, hair grows at a rate of 6 inches a year. Once you make the commitment, try and enjoy the process of growing your hair long. Measure the growth every few months to track your progress.
