The Lowdown on Hair Growth
How To Promote Hair Growth
The beauty mainstay for women and men alike – our hair. We all want a luxurious head of hair and even more, we want our hair to grow! But many people are faced with a head of hair that just won’t grow no matter what you do to it. Or will it? Believe it or not, unless you are dealing with a medical reason for dormant hair growth (such as low DHT levels), your hair is always 
growing. The problem is that your hair is breaking or snapping off faster than your hair growth rate; therefore your hair appears to be at a standstill. Let’s talk about tips to make your hair grow faster.
Using tools excessively or not using the right hair care products will lead to damaged hair and guess what? Hair damage and hair growth are closely related. Will your hair grow with damage? Yes, but addressing the damage will lead to more pristine conditions to promote hair growth. In other words, the damage is causing your hair to not live up to its growth potential and you must stop the hair damage in its track.
Focus on providing your hair and scalp with the best growing conditions. Start with a clean scalp, after all this is where growing hair starts. A dirty scalp with clogged pores does not foster a healthy hair growing environment. Keep your pores clean so that the hair is free to grow. Blood flow to the scalp is also very important and you can massage your scalp to increase blood flow and get the nutrients flowing again. Try massaging your scalp nightly for two minutes and see if you don’t feel an instant charge.
Another way to get nutrients to your scalp is through the use of herbs for hair growth such as rosemary oil and peppermint oil. These essential oils will also stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and give you that great tingly feeling.
Now that we have cleaned the scalp and got the nutrients moving, let’s get to the hair. Hair loves a proper balance of protein and moisture and these two elements go hand in hand for optimal hair growth. Once you have this understood, your hair growth will proceed. Stay away from harsh shampoos that strip the hair of its moisture and stay away from products that claim to be moisturizers but are just incapable of doing what they claim. Many so called moisturizers are full of ingredients that clog pores or coat the hair so much that you can’t get anything good out of it but a head of slick, oily hair.
However, there are some great products out that really do what they claim such as Joico and Aveda but you can also make your own rendition and have a product that truly works! Biotin is one supplement that comes to my mind as being used for hair growth and can be taken internally or even added to a hair recipe.
