How to Grow Long and Healthy Hair

Proper care is the key to long, healthy hair.

Growing long hair does not require expensive chemicals, but it does not happen by magic. According to longlocks.com, there are multiple steps a person should follow to get the hair to grow out and to keep it healthy.

Instructions

1. Condition your scalp each morning when you shampoo and condition your hair. Deep condition the hair at least once a month, or once a week if the hair is dry.

2. Trim any split ends as well as any other damaged hair. Untreated split ends will not only keep the hair from growing longer, but can make the hair even shorter than it was before.

3. Avoid perms and peroxide, which can limit if not destroy hair growth. Use henna or a non-peroxide color if you want to color the hair. Also, avoid using heated appliances such as curling irons, hot rollers and flat irons, and try not to expose the hair to chlorine or saltwater. If you must swim, use a deep conditioner then gather the hair under a long hair swim cap.

4. Style the hair in ways that encourage growth. Wear it as long as it will grow, and do not put it in braids, locs or tight coils. Never brush the hair when it is wet, and use a boar bristle brush any time you brush it. Comb the hair often, but do it in small sections.

5. Maintain a healthy diet. Hair needs nutrition just like the body does. Drink the eight glasses of water doctors prescribe, and take vitamins to support a diet.
