Wash your hair only three to four times per week, as you may strip your hair of the natural oils that keep it growing. Don't brush your hair until it's dry, as you may break off the ends. Avoid blow-drying your hair too often, as it could cause hair to dry out and break off.

2
Eat well. Provide your hair with nutrients by eating the basic food groups, such as fruits and vegetables. Kelp is beneficial, since it adds iodine to your scalp, supplying needed nourishment. Avoid fatty foods, caffeine and carbonated beverages. Fatty foods don't have the nutrients needed to regrow hair. Carbonated beverages and caffeine can weaken your body.

Take multivitamins. Vitamins provide the necessary nutritional support that some foods do not. Take a vitamin that helps with circulation, since circulation also benefits hair growth. These include cayenne, ginger and ginkgo biloba.

Apply a hair-growth product. Rogaine is the only over-the-counter FDA-approved (Food and Drug Administration) topical treatment to help men regrow hair. Rogaine is used to stimulate follicles for regrowth. Spray Rogaine foam directly on the location of regrowth. Or use a dropper to apply the liquid solution to the targeted area of the scalp. Apply Rogaine twice a day until you see results. This may take 2 to 4 months.

Don't wear ponytails using rubber bands. Instead, use bands that are made specifically for hair. Rubber bands may break hair strands as you remove them and slow the regrowth process.

6
Avoid flannel pillowcases. Flannel may draw the oil out of your scalp while you're sleeping, causing your hair to dry out and slowing regrowth.
