If you want your hair to grow long, you need to take care of it while it is growing and after it reaches the length you want. Taking care of long hair requires time, work, and knowing which products to use. You need to prevent damage, including split ends and brittle hair. Hair that is damaged is more likely to break off, which can make it impossible to reach the length you want. Here are some tips to help you keep your hair healthy so it can grow.
How to Keep Your Hair Healthy
You need to use the right tools to prevent tangles. Use a wide-toothed comb and a small detangling brush. When you brush your hair, start at the bottom to remove tangles instead of pushing them down or breaking your hair. As you remove tangles from the bottom, work your way up.
Using heat to style your hair can cause damage. You can get the look you want without using heat. You can curl your hair with foam rollers or use a hair mask to straighten your hair without heat. If you need to blow-dry your hair, use the coolest setting.
Teasing your hair to add volume can break it and cause split ends. You can get volume and keep your hair healthy by using a salt spray or a dry shampoo.
Your hair can become damaged when you sleep, especially if you toss and turn a lot. You can prevent breakage by sleeping on a silk pillowcase or by loosely braiding your hair before you go to bed.
Tips to Make Your Hair Grow Faster
For your hair to grow, you need a healthy scalp. Washing your hair every day can strip your scalp of natural oils. You should not wash your hair every day to avoid drying it out. If your hair gets oily between washes, you can use a dry shampoo. When you do wash your hair, you can use a shampoo and conditioner that are formulated to help hair grow.
Your hair will grow faster if your body is well hydrated. Drink plenty of water every day.
Even though you want your hair to grow, you should still get it trimmed from time to time. This will remove split ends and prevent the damage from spreading.
