Are you trying to grow your hair out? If so, you are probably getting frustrated. It takes a while, but you can help speed it up with these tips!
1. Keep your hair one length – no bangs, no layers. To achieve your optimum thickness and length, the hair needs to grow to one length. If you are layering your hair, and you are predisposed to thinning hair for any reason, then it’s best to start a growing out regimen. Soon, usually within a few months time, you will see for yourself the difference and be encouraged to continue growing. Strengthening and growth is the key to longer and more luscious hair. We offer several products to assist with healthy hair & scalp. Please ask your stylist.
2. Trim your hair every two months – This allows one inch of normal growth and your stylist will trim only the minimum necessary. Keeping the broken and split ends under control will keep your hair looking and feeling healthy.
3. Use a wide tooth hand – finished comb for gentle detangling. Always start detangling your hair from the bottom up. Many combs out there are not hand finished, and can develop rough edges and eventually lead to hair breakage! Look to purchase a good high quality, smooth, wide tooth comb for better hair management.
4. Brushing 100 strokes every morning with a natural bristle brush helps distribute natural oils and any impurities down and away from the scalp and helps to condition the hair with your own natural oils. It’s also good for gentle scalp stimulation which directs more nutrients to feed each hair follicle. If you have really curly hair, then wait to brush on the day you are washing your hair.
5. Minimize blow dryers, heating implements, and chemicals. Continuous use of excessive heat will cause damage to the ends, eventually causing breakage and split ends.
6. Nutritional and Hormonal balance are necessary for optimum growth. Your hair is a barometer of your health… pay attention to your body, take care of yourself and your hair will respond accordingly.
