1. Trim your hair PLEASE!! Not trimming won't help your hair to grow faster (i promise) you dont want to be THAT girl. By cutting, snipping or dusting away the dead ends you Stop the breakage before your ends starts to go stringy and see through. Don't lie to your self and call is "natural looking", "Hippie chic"or "mermaid hair" because when people are standing behind you that is NOT what they are thinking... TRUST. How often Should you trim? That depends on the state of your hair, is it bleached? is it virgin? are you in the sun alot? You should trim as soon as you start noticing dead ends or breakage. Otherwise, you should have at the very least 1-inch cut off every three months.
What i hear from new clients ALL the time: "my hair never grows" blah blah YES it does. The problem is its growing from your root and breaking at the ends I CAN SEE IT. when you start feeling this way that means you need a haircut asap.
2. Biotin the vitamin will help your hair grow faster But it also makes the hair all over your body grow as well so KEEP that in mind... Eat right. Our hair needs nutrients to grow. I don't mean oils on the out side of your hair, those are used to keep your dry hair from braking off and to make your hair LOOK and feel silky for the time being which can help your ends from splitting due to dryness. Oils cant get INSIDE your hair shaft, get it? All of the unique natural coconut, awapuhi, argon oils ect. Are doing is sealing the cuticle and patching your parched hair, which is definitely not a bad thing but our
hair really needs, Vitamins to grow.
Hair is composed of protein, keratin & vitamins; A (found in fish, spinach), B (found in meat, fish, leafy greens, vegetables), C (citrus), and E (nuts and broccoli ect.) Plenty of H2o. We are what we eat,
it definitely shows when it comes to healthy beautiful Hair.
3. You need to get the blood flowing and ensure proper circulation. How do you do it? Give yourself a scalp massage every day. Use your fingertips (For a nice treat you can add some tea tree oil to each finger tip for a sweet fresh feeling) in a circular motion directly on your scalp to increase and help circulation (or if you have dandruff or dry scalp you can use rosemary oil for a more intense scalp treatment. Exercise! Moving around keeps the blood flowing to your brain which warms your scalp. burn calories while growing your hair 2 for 1!
4. Stop washing your hair so damn much. REALLY stop it! And Yes, it totally makes a difference what kind of shampoo/conditioner you are using in between your "NO POO-ing" days. If your shampoo has massive lather then you are intensely striping your hair of oil, as it's meant to do. It's our natural oils that we call dirty hair. So naturally taking away the "dirt" means taking away the oil. But some of that oil keeps your hair protected and shining naturally. Of course, you do need to wash your tresses every now and then. I say three times per week is a fair amount, while others say you should only be washing it once a week? maybe if you live in N.Y. but i live in hot So. Cal and work out regularly.
Our natural oils is what our hair needs MOST, take a boar bristle brush & comb your oils from the very root of your scalp and bring them to the ends for a great hair treatment before you shower. NO-POO doesn't mean you can't get it wet in between while you bathe daily (i hope) Just nix the shampoo and condition the ends. It all takes some getting used to if you're washing daily. But it's worth it.
(Never brush wet hair. Use a wide tooth comb in the shower when your hair has conditioner in it is the best way but when you do comb your hair in search of tangles, work your way from the bottom up to your head.)
OH! and also if you rinse your hair in cold water you close the cuticles of your hair which results in making the hair BLING.
