My Top Secrets To Long Healthy Hair:
- Step away from the scissors… I know we have heard it a million times that getting your regular trim every few months will help your hair grow. But think about it, you are growing and cutting. In reality all you need to do is start off fresh, go to your trusty hair stylist and request a trim of you split ends and if needed a nice haircut that will grow out nicely and let the hair grow!
2. Honestly this is the easiest way to notice a change in your hair, simply give yourself a scalp massage at least before bed. It helps by stimulating blood circulation in the area which activates the growth of hair and even relives headaches! Here’s how I massage my scalp to reap all the benefits. I do it twice a day when I first wake up and before bed, I use my fingertips and begin by applying light pressure starting on the forehead where the hairline begins, then gently work my way back all the way to my neck. I like to put my head upside down while I do this, move your fingertips as if you are making small circles and then I like to gently pull at my hair in small sections and end by running my hands thru my scalp.
3. I hope it goes without saying that without good nutrition nothing here is going to help you get long healthy hair. As an additive to my healthy diet I love taking biotin and Omega 3 for my hair. honestly I saw an immediate change in my hair and nails after I started to take it and the omega has other benefits too!
4. If I start to name all the lovely hair mask ingredients I experiment with I probably would bore you to death, or never end. The list is really infinite and you can find some of them here on my blog already, but the one I love and ALWAYS use and recommend and vow for is coconut oil. This oil is amazing for so many things and one of them is hair growth and health. If your hair is really dry you could even do the scalp massages I recommended above with this oil, or just use it as a mask before your wash.
5. I know what you are all thinking, please dont tell me to have long healthy hair I have to give up the heat products… Well you don’t at least not for ever, I would recommend giving your hair a break anytime you can from the heat. If you are not going anywhere or maybe wash it let it air dry and try out one of those cool looking braided hairstyle everyone is raving about 😉 The key is the less you damage the healthier it will be and the longer it will grow.
6. Choose a good hair line that meets your needs. Like everything else we are all different and what works for me might not for you. I personally love Moroccan Oil products, I have always gotten good results from using them. I do however like to switch it up and always try other lines and come up with my at home treatments that I always share with you 😉
7. Don’t wash your hair everyday, Your head produces natural oils that you don’t want to wash out every day, these oils help to coat and protect your hair keeping it strong & healthy. If your hair is colored washing every day will strip the color to some degree. If your hair is slightly oily and you feel you must wash it every day, this could actually make it worse. Because when you wash every day, you’re removing the sebum, (oily secretion), every day, which the oil glands then compensate for by producing even more oil.
8. The sun can wreak havoc on hair; consequently, hair gets dryer, rougher and more brittle, sometime to the point of appearing straw-like, while color pigments are being bleached out. Aside from staying out of the sun, there are of course hats, and there are outstanding hair products that offer UVA/UVB protection that protect and condition.
