Many people complain that their hair is not growing. The following habits can help you speed up the natural growth of hair:
1. Scalp Massage
Massaging your scalp with your fingers for 5-10 minutes every day will increase blood flow. This stimulates the hair roots and helps your hair grow faster. Using lightly warmed coconut oil or almond oil is more beneficial.
2. Protein-rich diet
Hair is made of a protein called keratin. Therefore, include plenty of eggs, milk, legumes, spinach, and nuts in your diet. Vitamin B7 (biotin) and zinc are essential for hair growth.
3. Avoid washing your hair too much
Washing your hair with shampoo every day will strip your hair of its natural oils. This can cause your hair to become dry and brittle. Wash your hair only two to three times a week.
4. Be careful when handling wet hair
The roots are the weakest when the hair is wet. Avoid combing or brushing your hair vigorously during this time. Using a wide-toothed comb will reduce hair breakage.
5. Trim the ends with scissors
Trimming the ends of your hair once every two to three months will prevent split ends. This will help your hair grow healthier.
A ‘secret’ tip for faster hair growth:
Rosemary Oil: Studies show that applying rosemary oil mixed with any carrier oil (coconut oil or olive oil) to your scalp can help double your hair growth.
