How to Grow Out Your Hair Fast Naturally

Here are some tips and tricks on growing out your hair naturally. These tips and tricks are from personal experience, and they are for all types of hair textures and races as well.

1) Make sure you are getting enough protein and water. Hair consists of protein, so eating lots of nuts, poultry, grains, and eggs will contribute to healthy hair that will grow faster. Also, get eight (8) glasses of water a day.

2) Take a daily vitamin supplement to make hair grow faster and healthier. Some vitamins and minerals that are believed to contribute to hair growth are: biotin, beta-carotene, biosil, B complexes, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, silica, nettle and flaxseed oil. Biotin and MSM are the best ingredients for promoting hair growth.

3) Scalp massages will encourage the blood to flow and make hair grow faster.

4) Avoid over brushing, processing, dyeing, perming, and putting too much heat will damaged your hair and cause it to break off. You can use heat protected, you buy it everywhere :)

5) Don't wash your hair every day. The natural oils produced in your scalp keeps the hair healthy and make it grow faster.

6) Keep your hair protected from the environmental damage such as UVA and UVB rays from the sun. Cover your hair with a hat or scarf when you are exposed in the sun. Also, avoid over-styling your hair in ponytails, braids, buns, and cornrows. These types of styles can cause the stress to the scalp and hair; keeps the hair from growing.

7) Use a deep conditioning treatment ONCE a week and massage it deep into the scalp. This will stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow and prevent hair breakage.

For Ethnic Hair:
When you're about to go to bed, always wrapped up your hair with a silk or satin head wrap, you can purchase them from your local Sally Beauty Store.
Always keep your hair moisturized.
Use natural oils ie castor, olive, jojoba, coconut & Jamaican black castor oil.
Be careful with chemicals (i.e relaxers)
