Many people always want to look good but hair is often a part of the body that they ignore. They experiment with a lot of hairstyles and products to go with the trend without being really conscious about the effects. For them, regular washing, combing and brushing is enough to keep their hair healthy.
It’s never too late to start taking good care of your hair. If you want to maintain a healthy physique well into your senior years, maintaining it the right way is the best way. Some of you may not be aware but there are actually techniques that can help your hair grow faster without using medicines or other chemically laden products.
When it comes to hair care, it’s time to ditch your old ways. If you follow a few steps and are persistent, you can achieve the length you always wanted in no time.
First of all, always be gentle with your hair. Comb gently. Brush gently. Massage it with light hands while cleaning it. Use a wide-tooth comb and comb your hair in slow motion after you shower to avoid tangles. Also, avoid pulling your hair tightly, especially for women who are fond of ponytails, braids, cornrows and clips.
Second, avoid shampoos and conditioners with harsh chemicals. Choose gentler products that are suitable for your specific hair type. This also applies to your hair styling products, from gels and sprays to mousses and straightening formulas.
Third, take a multivitamin every day. Remember that not everything you eat every day contains the essential daily nutrients your body needs to grow properly. Taking a multivitamin gives you extra nutrients. For example, the vitamin B complex is essential for promoting hair growth. Other vitamins and minerals that help with circulation, including iron, are also helpful.
Fourth, maintain a healthy lifestyle. This means eating a balanced diet every day, getting enough sleep, getting a variety of exercises, and avoiding vices like drinking and smoking. Avoid stress at all costs by taking the time to relax whenever you can.
Fifth, don’t try to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. Experts say that sudden weight loss can also affect hair growth. This is because as your body loses weight, a lot of nutrients are also being shed. There are certain diets for people who want to shed their extra pounds that lack nutrients and when the body takes in less than the proper nutrients, hair loss can result.
Lastly, you may want to use some biological treatments. These include using aloe vera, coconut milk and henna to massage your scalp and hair. Some of these natural home remedies can be used alone or in combination with other herbs and oils. Your scalp and hair can be massaged several times a week to promote proper blood circulation and hair growth.
The key is to always be consistent and you will reap the benefits in the end.
