How to Grow Hair Faster

I have always been a girl who had long luscious hair, until one day I decided I wanted a change and cut my waist length hair into a bob. Although I loved the look for a week or two, I felt odd and didn’t feel like myself anymore. Over the past year I have had multiple extensions and weaves to help me feel more like myself again by adding length to my hair.

I have found it extremely difficult since chopping off my locks to grow them back again. I tried everything that was suggested online however nothing was working or making any sort of difference. Apart from patience the tricks below have helped me out. Consuming the correct amount of nutrients and ingredients your body needs to grow hair is the fastest way of achieving longer hair. Whether you are in a similar situation to me, or just want to grow your hair back hopefully some of these can work for you too!

Eating a balanced amount of protein

Hair is mostly composed of keratin, which is a protein made up of amino acids. For hair to grow, the body needs to produce more amino acids, which can only be produced from consuming protein. To promote hair growth by consuming more protein, supplements that can be bought over the counter with these ingredients can help promote hair growth.

Eat an adequate amount of iron and zinc

Deficiencies in iron and zinc can lead to overall poor health and sometimes even hair loss. Iron is essential for the body as it allows oxygen to get to your cells. Various meats and dark green vegetables are great sources of iron. Zinc helps the body grow and repair tissue, and keeps the glands around the hair follicles working correctly. Peanut butter and chicken are great sources of zinc.

                                                                           Keep fat in your diet

Although a lot of fat is not good for your body, an adequate amount is crucial for hair growth and maintaining healthy hair. Unsaturated fats and fatty acids such as Omega 3 are the best fats to intake that are the healthiest for your body. Fat is also very important to the body as it helps absorb vitamins that are necessary for hair growth, such as vitamin A.   

 

Meet the recommended intake of Vitamin C daily

Having a deficiency in vitamin C can cause hair to become dry, dull and weak. When hair is weak, it is more prone to breakage and therefore cannot grow long and beautiful. Without vitamin C, the body will find it difficult to absorb iron.

Take Vitamin B

Vitamin B supplements have become very popular among those trying to speed up hair growth. Though there is not much scientific evidence that relates growth rate of hair to the consumption of vitamin B, it has been proven to decrease chances of hair loss or thinning. Vegetables such as broccoli and spinach are good sources of vitamin B.

By having a healthy diet this is a sure fire way to help promote hair growth. It is also recommended that using as little heat on your hair as possible, not washing hair every day and minimising stress can help hair grow. Hopefully you found these tips and tricks useful, until next time,
