tips on how to grow my hair fast?

Well, how can I grow my hair fast?

I had bleached highlights in my hair for about a year but they have almost grow out (thank god) it caused soooo many problems with my hair my hair kept breaking its above shoulder length! It made my hair dry and thin! I've managed to maintain my hair well and its now in a nice condition by using different argan oils.

I straighten my hair once a day or every other day.. My hairdresser told me I need to stop straightening my hair if I want it to grow? Recently I just been blow drying it using heat protection and putting it into a bun! I can't stand having it down without straightening it's really bushy and wavy!

Any tips on how to grow my hair? Should i stop the heat altogether?

Many thanks x

    Hey:) First to all; you should eat lots of protein and massage your scalp every night to stimulate growth.

    Keep getting small trims every few months too, to oxigen our hair. Biotin pills seems to work for lots of

    people and oil treatments are good to keep a healthy and nice hair. I use argan oil, actually has a lot

    of benefits. Mine is one called Pro naturals hair repair system and you don't even have to leave it in

    as a mask for hours, you just put some on your hair after a shower and thats it, it wont make your hair

    greasy or smelly. Their results arejust amazing. By the way is easy to get online. They have plenty of products.

    You will love it:)

    Hey,

    Millions of people all over the world are affected by hair loss, and it's not only the males that suffer this condition as even females are affected by this problem. What's sad is that many of the individuals affected by such a condition end up just accepting what is happening to their hair due to lack of information or options.

    1. if you shampoo your hair by throwing it into a ball on top of your head, then stop that. The rubbing of hairs can cause them to split and tangle. just leave your hair down, rubbing shampoo into only the roots of your hair. The shampoo will works its way down your hair as you are doing this. When you dry your hair with your towel, do not shake your hair and rub it, just carefully squeeze the water out (without twisting the hair).

    2.brush hair least as possible. The more you brush, the more hairs your break. The worst time to ever brush your hair is when it is wet. Wet hair is at its weakest (that's why your find more hair in your brush when its wet). Brush after it is dried.

    3. try a homemade hair mask with two eggs and four tablespoons of olive oil. Gross, but it really strengthens your hair.

    4. brush hair with a wide tooth comb. brush your ends first, and work your way up your hair.

    5. windy day? wear your hair up. It will prevent the hairs to rub against each other and tangle, causing less split ends

    Keep it braided and trim it every now and then - or just be patient ;)

    Here are some ways you can grow your hair longer, healthier, and faster:

    From the inside:

    -Drink lots of water! Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day.

    -Get lots of protein!

    -Eat healthy!

    -Eat all foods with necessary vitamins that help with hair growth. Mainly vitamin C, A, E, & B.

    -Take vitamin supplements that help with hair growth. Ask for permission if you're a minor and make sure you have your doctor's approval. I recommend taking Biotin. Biotin works wonders for hair growth, but you still have to take care of your hair in other ways to contribute to hair growth. Biotin will strengthen hair and nails, make hair and nails grow, make hair, skin, and nails healthy, and give you the necessary vitamins you need.

    -Exercise regularly.

    -Get a reasonable amount of sleep. 8 hours is a reasonable amount of sleep.

    -Don't stress yourself out too much.

    -Let it grow naturally.

    From the outside:

    -Shampoo and condition regularly. Wash hair depending on your hair type. I'm not sure how often you should wash your hair. It's all up to you and it depends on your hair type. Do NOT wash hair everyday because this can strip hair of natural and necessary oils that it needs and will become dry once stripped of oils. Then, your hair will be forced to become oily if not washed every day. So, don't get on the habit of washing every day. If you already do, try a new washing routine!

    -Deep condition with a deep conditioner/hair mask. Deep conditioning is very important for your hair because it hydrates and moisturizes your hair. It also makes it shinier. You can buy one at a store of simply make one at home.

    -Trim your hair, but not too often. Don't listen to what others say about trimming hair every 6-8 weeks. You should only trim your hair when you NEED to such as when you have split ends. When you have split ends, you should immediately get split ends trimmed so they won't rise higher. The more split ends you have, the more hair you'll have to get cut off. So, take care of your hair and get split ends trimmed whenever needed. Do not get hair trimmed to often, though, because you need to let it grow. If you keep cutting it, it will not grow, you won't see any results, and it'll stay the same as it was before.

    -Do not tie hair back too tight. This can cause breakage to the hair. Loosely tie your hair back with a hair tie, not rubber bands.

    -Don't use too much heat on your hair. If you do use too much heat on hair, it can cause dry, damaged, unhealthy hair and slow down hair growth. Try no heat hairstyles instead.

    -When you do use heat on hair, make sure you use a heat protectant to protect your hair from the heat.

    -Comb out hair before washing it to prevent tangles, knots, or breakage.

    -Do not scrub hair all around when washing, especially if you have curly hair or hair that gets easily tangled or knotted because it can cause breakage to hair once combed out. Gently massage head/scalp while washing. Wash thoroughly.

    -Rinse hair with cool or lukewarm water, but NOT hot water.

    -After washing, comb out with a wide tooth comb instead of brush to prevent tangles and knots that will lead to breakage of hair.

    -Comb hair starting from the bottom and work your way up to the top to prevent tangles and knots that will lead to breakage of hair.

    -Massage head/scalp every day.

    -Do not perm/relax hair. This can cause breakage of hair and stunt or slow down hair growth. Leave hair natural.

    -Do not dye hair as often. It's okay to dye hair sometimes, just not too often because this can also cause breakage and stunt or slow down hair growth.

    -Also, be patient! This certainly won't come overnight, BUT these tips will help your hair grow quicker and longer! You just have to wait a while, take care of your hair, focus on the health of your hair, and follow these steps. You will see the results if you just take care of your hair and follow these steps.
