How to Make Your Hair Grow Fast for Dreads

Increase the length of your hair dreads.

Due to the amount of weaving that goes into dreads, long hair works best in creating them. The average person grows hair at about half an inch a month, but if you are looking to increase the overall volume and length of your hair there are a few methods you can use to do it, many of which help grow an additional quarter of an inch per month.

Things You'll Need

• Scalp message oil
• Daily vitamin

Instructions

1. Consume a daily multi-vitamin that meets or exceeds 100 percent of your daily recommended doses of iron, vitamin B, zinc, folic acid and biotin.

2. Trim your hair every few months to remove any damage from the ends of your dreads. This ensures the hair does not grow out damaged, which requires additional energy to correct and maintain, reducing hair growth.

3. Massage your scalp for at least five minutes every day. Because dreads are not normally washed on a regular basis, it is a good practice to do this with a scalp oil or moisturizer that cleans them.

4. Wear the dreads up. Wearing the dreads down exposes the hair to harsh weather conditions, preventing the hair from growing at its normal rate.
