10 tips for hair growth

Your hair typically grows at a rate of 1/2 inches per month. This doesn't seem like much and generally the speed of growth is largely, but not exclusively determined by natural factors. However, some of the following techniques could provide the right form of stimulation for your hair and accelerate its growth 1. Watch you diet and increase the presence of iron and omega-3 2. Consider vitamin supplements for missed nutrients and those which have hair-specific benefits, such as keratin 3. Prevent damage and breakage by shampooing with a mix of essential oils such as pumpkin seed and coconut oil 4. Apply an oil based formula or hair mask once a week to prevent moisture loss 5. Shampooing everyday drys your hair out faster. Once every 3 days will suffice and always use conditioner afterwards 6. Never wrap it up in a towel afterwards and lightly brush when hair's still wet 7. Regularly trim your hair every 8 to 10 weeks to help maintain its density and strength 8. Reduce dependency on flat irons, curlers and hair dryers as these quickly sap moisture out of your hair 9. Avoid tying hair up too tight and too often to prevent strands from splitting 10. Consider factors which might be slowing down growth that you have control over, such as stress or side effects from medication
