Do you dream of long hair but find it hard to grow your hair beyond its usual length?

What people often do is skip visits to the hairdresser, which we do not recommend. For long and healthy hair, the holy grail is a lot of patience and the right care. In this blog, you will find all the do's and don'ts when it comes to hair growth.

 

Will my hair grow from the right nutrition?

Hair grows from all the vitamins and minerals you take in. A healthy lifestyle certainly contributes to the condition of your hair. So make sure you always get enough vitamins and minerals to stimulate your hair growth. Vitamin B is the most important vitamin when it comes to hair growth. If you get very little vitamin B, you can immediately see this in your hair; it looks lifeless and grows more slowly. Besides enough vitamin B, it is also very important to eat protein-rich foods, such as fish, eggs, fruit, and vegetables. Do you find it difficult to get enough of these nutrients every day? Then you could also take vitamins and other supplements as a supplement. Think, for example, of Biotin or Fish Oil.

The last tip regarding nutrition: drink enough water. Water is not only a miracle for your body and skin but also for your hair. Water makes your hair stronger and healthier, which helps it grow faster and prevents hair loss. Water is necessary for the structure. So pay close attention to what you put into your body; after all, you are what you eat and drink!

 

Will my hair grow if I adjust my routine to my hair type?

It is of course logical that if you use the wrong products for your hair, you will see little to no difference. For example, if your hair is bleached and therefore damaged, use a nourishing silver shampoo. Many silver shampoos can have a drying effect, and of course, you do not want to do that to your damaged, dry hair. When your hair gets the care it needs, it becomes livelier and healthier, which makes it grow faster again.

Besides a regular shampoo, it is also important to keep using a nice conditioner, as this is usually the cherry on top for healthy locks. The same applies here: if you take good care of your hair, it becomes stronger and grows faster. Using a hair mask once a week also works wonders for the health of your precious locks.

Wash your hair regularly, but not too often. Cleaning your scalp every day is not a good idea. Shampoos remove dirt from your hair but also take away the natural oils that keep your hair healthy and supple. So try not to wash your hair more than 2 or 3 times a week.

 

Will my hair grow longer if I keep my hair length strong and healthy?

Besides using the right shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks, there are many other ways to keep your hair length strong and healthy. Below is an overview of daily things that can be harmful or very good for the hair.

• Does your hair get enough protection? We start with the first step that should not be missing from your long hair routine, heat protector. If you style, blow-dry, or curl your hair frequently with heating tools, your hair will eventually become porous and break. Try to avoid these tools as much as possible. Can you really not do without your styling tools? Then make sure you use good products to keep your hair healthy.

 

• We probably all recognize this: rubbing your wet hair dry with a towel after showering. This is not good for your hair at all. Your hair gets caught in the fibers of the towel, causing it to break faster. So next time, try not to rub your hair dry with the towel but gently pat or squeeze it. Or skip the towel altogether. No matter how careful you are, it is always harmful because of its fibers.

 

• It is very natural to quickly run a brush through your hair when you feel it is out of shape, but be careful. Do this not too often! Hair can break easily, especially when it is wet during brushing. It is recommended to brush your hair a maximum of 2 times a day.

 

• Putting your hair up in a bun or ponytail can also be harmful to your hair. The little metal piece on your hair tie damages your hair and causes breakage. Fortunately, there are now hair ties on the market without this metal piece, such as the invisibobble. These are less harmful to your hair, but it does no harm to let your hair fall over your shoulders now and then.

 

• Your hair can also get damaged while sleeping. Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase is not beneficial for your hair; just like with a towel, your hair gets caught in the fibers of the cotton fabric. It is better to choose a silk pillowcase, softer for your long locks and 100% natural. Besides, it is a good idea to sleep with a loose braid instead of loose hair or a bun to prevent tangles that cause hair breakage when combing out.

 

• Go to the hairdresser every now and then to give your hairstyle a boost. When all split and dry ends are removed, the hair looks better and is healthier again.

 

Does a scalp massage affect the growth of my hair?

Massaging the scalp during washing or with products specially made for your scalp helps stimulate hair growth. A massage stimulates the blood circulation at the hair follicles. This can make your hair longer and fuller. It does no harm to look lovingly at your partner every now and then for a head massage, but of course, you can also do it yourself with a handy scalp massager.  Besides faster hair growth, a scalp massage is also very relaxing. A win-win situation!

 

Does sunlight affect the growth of my hair?

How is it that your hair visibly grows longer in the summer? This is due to vitamin D found in sunlight. Your hair naturally absorbs this. With this vitamin, your hair grows twice as fast. Besides faster growth, the hair also lightens due to sunlight. A plus for all the blondes among us! ;) Just more reasons to look forward to summer!

Be careful, though, if the sun shines a lot, the hair fibers can dry out. So make sure you take good care of your hair with hair products that deeply hydrate your hair to prevent drying out.

 

Do vitamin tablets affect the growth of my hair?

You may know them: Hair vitamins to stimulate your hair growth. I can hear you thinking: Do these tablets really work? Yes, they do! Many different people have already experienced their effect and are certainly pleased with them. The sweet tablets are full of vitamins and give you beautiful, long, healthy, and shiny hair. That is exactly what we are all looking for, right? The idea is that you take the hair vitamins daily for a longer period. After a few months, these tablets promise you a healthy, full head of hair.
The hair vitamins sold by Haarspullen are 100% vegan and cruelty-free!

 

We hope we have been able to help you on your long hair journey. Try to be kind to your hair, and who knows, you might soon have longer locks than you ever dared to dream of!
