How can I make my hair grow faster?

How can I make my hair grow faster?

It’s a question we get asked a lot at the salon, and while one of the main things you need is good old time, there are a few things you can do to help boost hair growth.

Read on to find out how can I make my hair grow faster….

Try caffeine-infused products

Caffeine is great for a pick-me-up and research has revealed that it can also help promote hair growth. According to the study, caffeine may help promote new hair growth at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels in both men and women.

Use essential oils

Essential oils smell amazing, and they are great for hair growth, too.

One study found that a daily dose of 400mg of pumpkin seed oil in tablet form resulted in an increase in hair growth in men. After 24 weeks, the men who took pumpkin seed oil experienced a 40 percent increase in hair count!

Stock up on hair growth boosting vitamins

Specific vitamins, minerals and fatty acids are not only good for health but also play a key role in boosting hair growth. This includes:

• biotin

• vitamin C

• vitamin D

• vitamin E

• zinc

• iron

• omega-3 and omega-6

Avoid over-styling

Heat from curling irons, hairdryers, and straighteners can damage your hair and cause breakage. Try to limit use or decrease the temperature of heated styling tools to reduce hair damage.

Have a trim

It might sound counterproductive, but having regular trims can help your hair grow as it gets rid of split ends and encourages healthy growth.

Is having a haircut good for your mental health?

Is having a haircut good for your mental health? What is it about sitting in the salon chair that gives us such a sense of calm and wellbeing?

Could it be that there is a therapeutic element which improves our overall wellness and sense of self? A study by Tamika Roper and Dr. John Barry looked into exactly that, questioning men and women about what they loved about going to the hairdresser.

They concluded that a visit to the hairdressers could boost wellbeing in the same way as talking, watching your favourite TV show or reading magazines.

There’s also a trust factor involved with our hair stylist - many of us refuse to have our hair cut by anyone else once we’ve found someone we like and someone who ‘gets’ us.

Maybe this is not just about the stylist’s ability to cut hair, but also a connection and ease of talking about and sharing personal matters.

On top of that, there is a fresh feeling associated with a haircut or a new hairdo. We leave feeling revived and restored, which of course can also contribute to our perceptions of ourself.
