#HealthBytes: 8 ways to make your hair grow faster
Everyone desires long, shiny, and strong hair. But bad news is that with our increasingly packed work schedules, compromised sleep patterns, and downright unhealthy diets, our hair health is bound to take a toll. However, by following a relatively healthy diet and lifestyle, one can make their hair grow faster, naturally. Here are 8 simple tips that might help you out.
Comb carefully; Try oil massage
Comb with care: Always comb wet hair with utmost care as they are fragile and thus, prone to breakage. For this, get a wide-toothed comb, and run it gently from the roots to ends, to avoid breakage. Oil massage: Applying hair oil moisturizes your hair and improves blood circulation to the scalp, thus making them strong.
Eat healthy; Frequently trim your hair
Eat healthy: Your diet goes a long way in determining healthy hair growth. Make sure to get more and more protein with foods like fish, eggs, beans, nuts, and whole grains. Getting essential Vitamins (A, C, E), zinc, iron, and Omega-3 fatty acids is also recommended. Trim hair regularly: Getting your hair trimmed regularly will eliminate split ends, thus reducing chances of hair breakage.
Stay away from chemicals; Avoid over-washing your hair
Say goodbye to chemicals: Regular shampoos are jam-packed with harmful chemicals, like silicone, sulphite and colorants, that can ruin your hair. So, steer clear of them, and opt for natural products to make your hair grow healthier and faster. Avoid over-washing: Washing hair daily isn't a good idea as it takes away natural oils from your scalp, that are crucial for hair growth.
Use natural conditioners; Avoid heat damage
Natural conditioners: Use natural, plant-based hair conditioners made from ingredients such as coconut oil, honey etc. as they help strengthen your hair, and promote natural growth. Avoid heat damage: Overuse of hair dryers for styling can weaken hair roots, therefore resulting in breakage. So, use a hair dryer only when you must, in order to keep your hair strong and healthy.
