Do you dream of long hair and could use some help? Good news: There are various tips & tricks that stimulate your hair growth. In this blog, we give you 8 tips for growing long and healthy hair!
Let’s start with some general information: how fast does hair actually grow? On average, hair grows about 1 to 1.5 centimeters per month. But… Did you know that your hair grows faster in summer than in winter? This is because your body contains more vitamin (D) from sunlight, which makes your hair grow faster. In summer, hair grows on average 0.4 millimeters per day, while growth in winter drops to 0.375 millimeters per day. As much as you’d like, unfortunately, there are no miracle products that can make your hair grow faster, but there are products that stimulate your hair growth! Let’s get started!
HAIR GROWTH TIP 1: Stimulate your hair growth with Castor oil!
Nanoil Castor Oil also known as: Wonder Oil or Castor Oil. The oil is extremely popular because it promotes hair growth. Now you might be wondering: How can Castor oil help with this? Actually, it’s quite simple: For longer hair, three things are very important:
Keeping the scalp healthy
Keeping your hair in optimal condition
Good nutrition
Castor oil helps both with the condition of the hair and the care of the scalp. It is a very nourishing oil: The essential fatty acids in the oil ensure that the hair is nourished from the roots. Frizzy and dry hair gets a boost and starts to shine and look healthy again. So the oil contributes to a good condition of the hair and supports the growth of stronger and fuller hair. In addition, the scalp gets a good cleansing from the oil. Your scalp is intensively nourished, making dry flakes a thing of the past. Moreover, this oil is multifunctional! It can also be used for facial cleansing, truly a must-have! :-)
HAIR GROWTH TIP 2: Pay attention to your scalp.
To stimulate your hair growth, it’s important to also focus on the scalp. Your scalp is the indicator of your hair’s health. With the Scalp Massager Brush from Lee Stafford, you can give your scalp a good massage. This ensures a goodblood circulation in the scalp, which stimulates hair growth.
How to use the massage brush?
Using the Scalp Massager Brush is super easy! We recommend using the Brush in the shower; hold the Brush in your hand and then make circular motions or move it back and forth over your scalp. Tip: Use the Scalp Massager Brush when washing your hair with shampoo or conditioner.
HAIR GROWTH TIP 3: Don’t wash your hair too often.
Shampoo is made to wash dirt and residues from styling products out of your hair, but if you use shampoo too often, you can also wash out the natural oils from your hair. So try not to wash your hair too often, so the natural oils on your scalp have a chance to do their job. If you do wash your hair too often, the shampoo can also remove the healthy, natural nutrients from the hair, leaving it damaged and dry. Does your hair really need a wash? Then it’s best to only wash your scalp with shampoo and leave the rest of your hair alone. The shampoo that rinses through the rest of your hair is already enough. Extra tip: want to delay your wash but still look well-groomed? We have various dry shampoos in our range that can help you delay your wash. Pick your fave! :)
HAIR GROWTH TIP 4: Hair growth supplements
Your body needs enough building blocks such as proteins and minerals to create new hair. Maybe you’re not getting all the necessary nutrients. In that case, you might benefit greatly from taking extra supplements that promote hair growth. For example, Vitakruid Silsolutions or the Hair vitamins from Ivy Bears a real must-have! This will keep your hair healthy and give it the chance to grow faster, but especially longer!
HAIR GROWTH TIP 5: Use the right hair care
Using the right hair care is the key! To keep your long hair healthy for as long as possible, good hair care is essential! Not just the right shampoo, but also a good conditioner or hair mask! Using tools like a straightener or hairdryer makes the ends of your hair thinner. A mask or conditioner then protects the cuticle layer. For example, the L'Oreal SE Pro Longer Mask is highly recommended for this. It helps prevent your hair from getting damaged quickly and helps it grow longer faster! Did you know? There are also product sets focused on longer hair, so your long hair stays healthy for as long as possible:
HAIR GROWTH TIP 6: Go to the hairdresser regularly.
I can hear you thinking: ‘regularly going to the hairdresser? I actually want to grow my hair long.’ But yes, absolutely! Unfortunately, trimming your split ends doesn’t speed up the growth process, but what it does do is prevent the splits from traveling further up. Otherwise, you’d have to cut off even more of your hair and that's not what you want! ;) The best is to trim just under half a centimeter every 10 weeks, this keeps your hair beautiful and healthy and ultimately helps it grow faster/longer!
HAIR GROWTH TIP 7: Rosemary water & rice water
Everyone is looking for ways to grow their hair longer and stronger. There are many trends, but nowadays there are two that really stand out. You’ve probably heard of or seen them: rosemary water and rice water! Dreaming of long, full hair? Then it’s definitely worth trying one of the two (or maybe even both). Curious about how to do this?
