Natural Hair Growth Tips

Eat A Well-Balanced Diet: Vitamins and nutrients have a huge impact on your hair. If you are lacking either one, or both, your hair can become dry and brittle and give off a dull appearance. Make sure you are eating a diet that includes Omega 3 fatty acids, protein, peanuts, peppers, Greek yogurt, and fruits containing Vitamin C.

Vitamins: Some common over the counter vitamins can drastically improve the health of your hair. The ones we personally recommend as natural hair growth treatments are biotin, omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, zinc, B-Vitamins, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.

Use Your Fingertips When Cleansing: This may be obvious to some, but more often than not, people use their fingernails when washing their scalp. This can damage your scalp. Make sure to use the pads of your fingertips, along with a little pressure to get a great cleanse and keep your scalp happy.

Lower Your Stress! We get it. Easier said than done. Stress will manifest itself not only in our skin, but also in our hair as well. Focus on your mental health and reducing all unnecessary stressors in your life first, your hair health will soon follow.

Give Yourself a Scalp Massage: No, we aren’t kidding. One of the easiest natural hair growth tips is getting a scalp massage. There are two crucial benefits to massaging your scalp. The first is that a scalp massage can actually help you calm down and boost your mood, relieving stress that is having a negative effect on your hair. The second is the fact massaging your scalp will increase blood flow to your hair follicles, in turn allowing them to receive more blood and nutrients.

Quit Smoking: We understand this isn’t the easiest thing to do, but nicotine and smoking in general causes damage to the hair follicles, inhibiting growth and causes long term damage to the health of your hair.

Avoid Chemicals & Heat: Finally, to cap off our list of natural hair growth tips is to stay away from heat and chemicals. What they say is true. Bleaching, dying, and other chemicals you use does compromise the overall health of the hair follicles over time. High heat is also not good for your hair. Things such as perms, curling irons, and straightening irons all have long term adverse effects on your hair.
