How to grow hair faster?

To encourage healthy hair growth, which typically occurs at a rate of about 0.35 millimeters per day or roughly half an inch per month, you can follow these evidence-based tips:

  1. Maintain a Nutritious Diet: Ensure adequate protein intake for hair strength, as well as biotin, iron, zinc, fatty acids, selenium, vitamins D, E, and A, and folic acid from sources like eggs, nuts, leafy greens, avocado, and cauliflower.

  2. Take Supplements: Consult a healthcare professional about biotin, probiotics, and iron supplements if necessary.

  3. Avoid Hair Dyes and Use Gentle Hair Products: Limit the use of harsh chemicals, opting for gentle products to prevent damage.

  4. Experiment with Other Treatments: Consider acupuncture, aromatherapy, and caffeine-infused hair treatments, which may help with growth, although more research is needed.

  5. Reduce Heat and Tension: Minimize heat styling tools and avoid tight hairstyles that put tension on your hair.

  6. Use Silk Pillowcases: To reduce hair breakage, switch to silk or satin pillowcases.

  7. Scalp Massage: Although not proven to directly affect growth, a relaxing scalp massage may improve blood flow and reduce stress.

  8. Protect Ends: Use bond-building treatments to repair damaged ends and facilitate healthy hair growth.

  9. Manage Stress: Engage in stress-relieving activities, such as exercise or meditation, to help maintain hair growth.

  10. Don't Skip Trims: Timely trims help remove split ends, encourage overall hair health, and have no impact on growth rate.

  11. Avoid Taut Hairstyles: Prevent hair damage by not wearing tight hairstyles daily, frequently changing hairstyles, and sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase.

Remember that your genetics, overall health, and age significantly influence hair growth. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and minimizing stress with a balanced diet and stress relief is vital.
