Hi Sidra, I'm not too sure on how to create thicker hair in a short space of time. I would recommend all the tips above for maintaining healthy-looking hair, especially eating a protein rich diet. I recently went to go get my bangs cut cause they reached up to the half of my chest and now it's like in between my eyes I want to grow them back the way they were how can I do that? Hi Amarissa if you try the inversion method concentrating around the front of your head hopefully you should see some growth :.

Hi Thanks for sharing these tips but I just have one question. If you use the inversion method and massage every other day with coconut oil without breaking for four weeks in between treatments until your hair is your desired length will it stop working after awhile or damage your hair?

Basically what I'm asking is why do you break for four weeks? Thank you! Hi Siana, great questions. From what I know and have read, the scalp massage helps increase blood circulation to the hair follicles. The pressure applies warms the skin and open up the blood vessels to increase flow and boost circulation, but the results are diminished if this is done every day. It should be done in short bursts - for example for seven day then break for 3 weeks - if you want to see rapid growth.

If you perform scalp massage every day then I don't think this will damage your hair particularly, but it may encourage hairs to fall out depending how vigorously you massage your scalp. I am suffering from eccessive hair fall. I am taking keraglo eva as suggested by doctor from last one month but its not working. I am getting married in 2 months. Please suggest what should i do to stop hair fall and grow and thicken my hair. Hi Deepti, congratulations on your wedding!

I'm sorry to hear about your hair loss, in this case I think it's best to follow the doctor's prescribed treatment.

I feel like I have unhealthy hair since I haven't really looked after it well. I've tried these methods but due the way it is it doesn't work. I'm wondering if I should cut it into some sort of of bob even though my hair only reaches my shoulders or maybe a centimetre or two above it.

Will cutting my hair make it grow longer and healthier or is shaving a better option? Hi Mal, thanks for getting in touch! Getting regular trims are essential for healthy hair growth, plus if your hair is dry and split ended then it'll only appear shorter even if it is growing. I would get a trim about inches to tidy up your ends then use a moisturising oil on your hair every week.

Are you using hot tools and how often are you washing your hair? I cut my hair recently so low. I want to grow it back I don't know how. I don't need fast process I just want a positive change. Hi, is was wondering if you have any further recommendations that aren't listed in the previous reading? I'm trying to get my hair to grow six inches in less then 3 months so I was hoping you might have a further explinination or list of foods that might benafit my hair?

Reply soon:D. Hi Emily, thanks for getting in touch. The treatments consisted of saline, jojoba oil, 3 percent minoxidil, or 3 percent peppermint oil. The study found that the group given peppermint oil showed the most hair growth. This included a significant increase in dermal thickness, follicle number, and follicle depth. Research has also shown that rosemary oil may be just as effective as minoxidil, the active ingredient in Rogaine, at restoring hair growth. Specific vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids are especially important for your overall health and also play a key role in providing your body with the energy needed for hair growth.

This includes:. One study found that taking omega-3 and omega-6 supplements for 6 months may help protect against hair loss. Data from another study suggested that lower zinc levels may play a key role in hair loss. While the research demonstrating the efficacy of biotin is limited, a review of the literature found 18 reported cases that showed clinical improvement in both hair and nail health after biotin supplementation. A scalp massage can help promote relaxation and relieve stress.

But, according to a small study , it may also help boost the health of your hair. The study examined the effectiveness of daily, 4-minute scalp massages. After 24 weeks, the researchers found that the nine men involved in the study had thicker hair than at the start.

You can get a professional scalp massage or indulge in a do-it-yourself massage at home. Board certified dermatologist Dr. While more controlled studies are needed, one study found that PRP may serve as an effective treatment option against hair loss. Heat from curling irons, hair dryers, and straighteners can damage your hair and cause breakage.

While avoiding heat styling altogether may not be an option, you may want to try limiting how often you use these tools. Decreasing the temperature of heated styling tools can also help reduce hair damage. Additionally, according to a study , using a heat protectant product before using a heated styling tool may significantly reduce hair breakage.

Heat treatments work by forming a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture loss when using heated tools. Vanessa Thomas , a cosmetic chemist and founder of Freelance Formulations , says there are some ingredients, like minoxidil, that have been clinically tested for hair growth and have shown positive results. Used to treat hereditary hair loss at the back of the head, minoxidil is the active ingredient in Rogaine. While genetics does play a role in hair growth, several other factors also come into play.

Eating a healthy diet that includes key nutrients as well as adequate protein is key. Using certain products and treatments may promote hair growth, while dialing back on heat treatments and chemical processing can help, too.

Many people want stronger, healthier hair, especially as they age. You can get tested for biotin deficiencies by your doctor. As for collagen, it can further help hair growth by supporting the scalp in the same way that collagen can help manage skin health overall. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides encourage the body's natural production of collagen, which is then delivered to the rest of the body—including the scalp.

This doesn't necessarily encourage growth, but it does protect the hair length you already have. Physical damage—caused by daily wear and tear, harsh brushing, or the shower—leads to breakage. And while the occasional snapped strand is perfectly normal, having breakage-prone hair can make achieving your length goals nearly impossible. A few things to consider when addressing physical damage: Too-tight hairstyles can cause friction and pulling, so consider using soft hair ties.

You should also consider switching up your style regularly so you're not putting pressure on the same spot day in day out. For example, "You never want to repeatedly do the same thing to your hair," says hairstylist Levi Monarch. Not only is it healthy for your hair, but it will completely change your look and add volume.

Another way to protect it from physical damage is how you brush it: You should always brush from the tips up—starting from the root is a recipe for frayed ends. Finally, be mindful of how you are shampooing and showering as hair is most vulnerable when wet. If you wash too aggressively you can cause knots and tangles that are difficult to get out learn how you should actually be washing your hair , here. Finally be mindful of how you wear it when you work out: Since most of us keep the hair out of our faces when moving, we often pull it tight.

Too-tight hairstyles, as noted above, cause friction. Wear one of these styles—like a braid, for example—when working out to lessen damage. Dry hair turns to brittle hair and brittle hair breaks. The research as to why moisture is so important for hair is fascinating , too: If your hair is dry and brittle, you likely have open cuticles. When cuticles are open or lifted, it means they are not sealed down; this allows moisture and nutrients to escape easier. Some people are just more prone to this, while others may have open cuticles from chemical treatments , like coloring.

However, conditioning agents can actually help seal the cuticle down. This not only helps trap in water and your hair's nutrients, but a closed cuticle means less friction between the strands—which in turn, also means less breakage. Everyone's hair needs are going to be different, of course, so for some a simple conditioner will do the trick, while others will need weekly hydrating hair masks and oil treatments.

Hair ages just like the rest of your body: This is why people experience hair thinning as they get older. It also limits the speed at which your hair grows. One way that research has shown to help hair aging is antioxidants , as they manage oxidative stress and neutralize free radicals. You can also use topical antioxidants, in the form of hair oils, serums, or sprays, which is especially helpful with free radical damage that comes with UV rays or pollution.

Just look for products that contain vitamins or other common antioxidants like vitamin E. While any tip on this list is applicable for any hair type, those with textured, natural hair also likely need to wear protective styles from time to time. A few examples she recommends: flat twists, cornrow ponytails, and box braids. He also notes that the prep is just as important as the style.

For example, if you have a really tight texture, blow-dry the hair first and load up on leave-in conditioners so the hair is sufficiently hydrated. If you have a looser curl type you can style the hair while damp. If you are looking to strengthen and grow your hair, you cannot use hot tools daily.
