11  great tips to grow your hair longer than ever

Isn't it beautiful, healthy long hair? Unfortunately it is not for everyone. Fortunately, there are great tips so that from now on you too can go through life with a lush head of hair.

1. Remember that hair cannot grow overnight

Regardless of how much you want it, your locks do not grow quickly. On average only half a to an inch at most. And that's only when it's super healthy and you don't have split ends. Conclusion: Patience is a good thing.

2. Use conditioner after every wash

Basically it means that when your hair is wet you have to take care of it with conditioner. By using, for example, a hair straightener, hair dryer and coloring your hair, your hair at the bottom becomes thinner. Conditioner helps replenish lipids and proteins in the hair shaft, and it protects and strengthens the horny layer. This damages your hair less quickly and can grow longer.

3. Don't wash your hair every time you shower

Shampoo is made to wash dirt and remnants of hair products from your hair, but if you use shampoo too often you can wash the natural oils from your hair. And these oils need it to look soft and healthy. When it is really necessary to wash with shampoo it is best to soap your scalp with shampoo and leave the rest of your hair alone. The shampoo that ends up in the rest of your hair during rinsing does enough.

4. Take your cotton pillowcase out the door

A satin pillowcase is much better for your locks because it has a softer surface. This creates less friction and the chance that your hair breaks during the friction is less. It also ensures that you get up with fewer tangles in your hair.

5. Ironically, the scissors are your friend

Unfortunately, cutting your split ends does not cause a faster growth process. What it does do is make sure that the split ends cannot split further up, so that you should cut your hair even more. It is best to have your hair cut off less than half an inch every ten to twelve weeks. This keeps your hair nice and healthy and it grows rather long.

6. Consider using hair growth supplements

Your body needs sufficient nutrients such as proteins and minerals to make new hair. Take a good look at what you eat, you may not get all the necessary nutrients for beautiful hair. Then you may benefit greatly from taking extra supplements that promote hair growth. The extra vitamins and minerals that you get with this will keep your hair healthy and it will have the chance to grow longer.

7. Brush your hair as if it is pure gold

Brushing your hair often can cause damage, especially when it is wet. Always start brushing wet hair from below. This results in fewer tangles, so you get less hair loss. Another good thing is brushing your hair with a boar bristle, a brush with hair from a male pig. These hairs are more flexible than nylon hairs and therefore softer for your hair. With this brush you can also distribute the natural oils of your scalp over the rest of your hair.

8. Apply an oil or mask every week.

Hair that comes over your shoulders is already a few years old and therefore needs more tender loving care than just a conditioner. What it really needs are moisturizing masks and oils. Because an oil always leaves a layer behind, it is best to apply it before you wash your hair so that you can wash out the greasy layer of shampoo. You get the best result when you apply the oil to towel-dried hair and let it soak in for ten minutes. The oil fills your hair with fatty acids, and shampooing ensures that they are closed in the hair.

9. Never tie a large bath towel around your wet hair again

What could be so bad about putting your hair in a towel? Well, pretty much. Your hair gets stuck in the fibers and that causes it to break. Many women also put the towel too tightly around their heads, so that the small hairs that start to grow also break off. It is better to use a soft, ultra-thin microfiber towel that is much softer for your hair.

10. Make a ponytail in another place

A super simple tip, but effective. Just not always fixing your tail in the same place helps prevent wear and tear in that place.

11. Always rinse your hair with cold water

Cold water ensures that your hair scales close, so that moisture remains in your hair and it can be less damaged by heat. Fine is different, but luckily you only have to rinse for a few seconds for a nice shiny and healthy hair
