Internal Health for Hair Growth
-
Your hair is affected by your overall health. Factors such as stress, sleep and diet all contribute to hair health. To ensure your internal health is optimized for hair growth, take a wide-spectrum multivitamin daily as well as additional supplements formulated especially for hair growth such as biotin or silica.
Drink plenty of water to lubricate cells and flush environmental pollutants from the body. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep a night to counteract stress, and eat plenty of fruits and veggies.
External Care for Hair Growth
-
Hair growth starts at the scalp. To see new hair growth, you must stimulate the scalp surface through gentle massage to bring blood flow to the scalp surface. Massage the scalp nightly, or hang your head over the side of the bed for three to five minutes every other day.
Hair grows from follicles on the scalp. Overtime, hair follicles can become clogged by sebum, an oily substance created by the sebaceous glands, weakening the follicle root and causing hair-shaft thinning. Thin hair is prone to breakage, and broken hair is hair that is not gaining length. Look for a root stimulator treatment in beauty supply stores. Root stimulators re-energize the hair root and strengthen the hair shaft.
Trim for Growth
It sounds antithetical, but cutting hair is good for hair growth. Do a light "dusting" trim every three to four weeks. Dusting is the process of removing an infinitesimal amount of hair from the ends. Time your hair dusting on the night of a full moon.Cutting or trimming hair during a full moon is believed to be conducive for hair growth. The moon exerts maximum pressure on the oceans of the world when full. Because our bodies are 70-80% water, it is believed water in the hair shaft is similarly affected by the lunar pull and is in its optimal lubricative state for trimming.
Get to Know Your Hair
-
Most women have no idea what their hair needs, from protein or moisture, on a day-to-day basis. It's true though that each day, hair will tell you what it needs if you know its signs of changing condition.
Hair that feels spongy to the touch is in need of protein to strengthen or rebuild weakened keratin bonds, the basic structure of the hair shaft. Hair that feels brittle or dry and breaks easily needs moisture. You should keep both a protein conditioner and a moisturizing conditioner in your hair-care arsenal and let your hair tell you what it needs. More often than not, hair will need a moisturizing conditioner.
