How to Make Your Hair Grow Faster

Most of us are looking to get luscious, long locks. Perhaps you've recently had a haircut that sparked instant regret, or maybe you're struggling to grow your hair past a certain length (we've all been there!). But how? Read on to find out!

Generally, our hair grows about half an inch per month, so six inches per year. While there's no straightforward, promised  way to make your hair grow fast, there are a few things you can do to promote healthy hair growth. These include:

1. Eating a healthy diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and protein-rich foods, such as eggs, chicken and fish. 
2. Avoiding tight hairstyles, such as braids and ponytails, that can cause damage to the hair shaft.
3. Using a gentle shampoo and conditioner and avoiding harsh chemicals and heat styling tools. Your scalp is an extension of your face, and to achieve hair growth, the scalp must first be in good health. We recommend the Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Scalp REBALANCE Balancing Shampoo 250ml, a sulfate-free formula which will gently cleanse and nourish the scalp and hair, whilst optimising hydration levels in the hair shaft. For thinning hair, check out our Nioxin range, designed to address concerns of thinning and hair loss. 
4. Massaging the scalp to stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles.
5. Getting regular trims to remove split ends and promote healthy hair growth.
6. Using essential oils, such as rosemary and peppermint, to stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth.

Remember that everyone's hair is different, and what works for some people may not work for others. If you're concerned about the rate of your hair growth, it's best to talk to a healthcare provider or a dermatologist.
