How to Make Your Hair Grow Longer for Guys

Long hair is easy to achieve when you take steps to care for it properly.

For girls who are set on impressing a guy with their long locks, they can try a few ways to get their hair to grow longer, or even just look longer. Getting your hair to grow longer for the guy you are trying to impress takes patience, care and maintenance. To achieve length you must treat your hair well and continue to trim it, even though cutting it frequently may seem counterproductive to growing it longer.

Things You'll Need

• Shears
• Brush
• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Flat iron
• Multivitamins

Instructions

1. 

   Use special hair-cutting shears to trim your hair.

   Trim your hair, or have someone trim it for you, with the shears, and cut off any split ends or unhealthy hair. The best way to grow your hair long effectively is to begin with it as healthy as possible. Be sure to get shears specifically designed for cutting hair, as regular scissors can ruin your hair.

2. 

   Work your hair into a lather with quality shampoo.

   Wash your hair really well to ensure that no oils and dirt are limiting your hair's natural growth. Use a high-quality shampoo that contains a moisturizer to keep your hair from becoming brittle. Work the shampoo into your hair with a lather, then rinse. Your hair type will determine how often you need to wash your hair.

3. 

   Use conditioner to keep your hair smooth and soft.

   Condition your hair thoroughly with a high-quality conditioner that will moisturize your hair and keep it from snapping. Coat your hair with the conditioner and leave it in for a few minutes, then rinse. It may be necessary to condition your hair twice with each shampooing.

4. 

   Use a paddle brush to keep your style straight.

   Brush your hair from the bottom up once your hair is towel-dried following your shampoo and conditioning. Work through tangles carefully, avoiding splitting the ends.

5. 

   Use a flat iron on special occasions to create the illusion of longer hair.

   Flat iron your hair. Take a thin strip of hair, clamp it between the plates of the flat iron and slowly pull down. Keep the tension in your hair, as that will make it appear straighter and longer.

6. 

   Take a mulitvitamin daily to promote growth and health.

   Take a multivitamin daily. The vitamins in these supplements will promote growth in your hair and keep your locks healthy. Find a supplement that contains vitamins A, B and E to keep your hair strong, healthy and full.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a paddle brush to brush through your hair. Its wide, flat shape will promote straight styles, making your hair appear longer.

• Condition your hair by making a ponytail with your hand and lathering from your hand down to the tip. Conditioning the crown can make your hair greasy and limp.

• Flat iron your hair only when necessary. Flat irons can burn your hair and create split ends, slowing down the growth process.
