How to make hair grow D.I.Y!!!

Hi Dolls!!!!
Okay now this is a question that I get asked ALL the time!!! "my hair wont grow" "im loosing alot of hair what should I do?"

Now I am not a hair dresser however I can share my tips with you that help my hair stay healthy, strong and grow at the same time.

There's no scientifically proven way to make your hair grow faster. But, there is a lot of research on what causes hair loss. And the less hair you lose, the more hair you have growing to your length of choice, right? While some of the causes of hair loss can't be helped, there are several things you can do to encourage your hair grow to its full potential.



Rapunzel showing how its done :)


1.Scalp Massage

Regular scalp massages are highly beneficial in growing hair faster naturally.
Hot oil treatment, in particular promotes proper circulation required to stimulate the scalp. You just need to gently rub your fingers through the scalp in circular motion for a few minutes.
D.I.Y-ever since ive been a child I have used this trick I do it once a week: Take coconut oil  (as this provides necessary nourishment to the scalp) heat it in microwave for about 30 seconds and massage it into the scalp the longer you leave it the better I would recommend atleast 30 mins.

2.Remove scalp residue
Reduce scalp residue as it clogs hair follicles and hinder faster hair growth.
D.I.Y- Take equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and water and rinse it through the hair as this removes scalp residue and dead skin.

3.Flip your hair upside down
D.I.Y-Flip your head over for about 2-4 minutes daily. This may sound weird but it tends to stimulate hair follicles by reversing the flow of blood.

4.Moisture is the key to healthier and hence faster hair growth
When using conditioners to avoid tangles and provide moisture, apply the product only on the lower half of your hair, particularly focusing on the dry ends and carefully avoiding the scalp.
In addition, do not shampoo your hair too often and do not try to brush wet hair when striving for faster hair growth to get long hair. It is better to comb semi-moist hair with the help of a wide teethed comb.
This can be found in boots for as little as 99p I use Aussie luscious long hair shampoo and conditioner £3.67 at boots.

Hair packs
D.I.Y-Prepare a homemade hair mask to accelerate hair growth by mixing a tablespoon of honey in one egg yolk. Apply this hair pack on the scalp and leave it for about half an hour. Finally, rinse your hair with mildly lukewarm water to remove the sticky mixture. Follow this procedure at least once every week.

A simpler way would be to rinse hair with rose water.

Final rinse
This little tip goes A LONG WAY always wash your hair with cold or at most lukewarm water, not hot water. Cold water also increases shine in hair.

Stress increases the risk of hair loss
Avoiding stress and getting sufficient sleep can make your hair grow faster and longer. It has been observed that factors like stress, depression and sleep deprivation actually contribute in hair loss.
On the other hand, deep breathing, exercising and proper sleep  promote growth of hair.

What Food to eat
Willing to give up unhealthy diet but wondering what food helps your hair grow faster? As hair is primarily made up of protein, you can very well understand the importance of consuming protein rich foods in making hair grow fast naturally.Some such protein rich foods for hair growth are soy products, beans, eggs, fish, milk, cheese, yogurt, whole grains, seeds and nuts.
Moreover, fresh green vegetables, like spinach, lettuce, lentils, broccoli and legumes are valuable in making hair fuller and thicker.

So dolls theres a great excuse for having your 5 a day ;)

My STAR product which REALLY kick started my hair growth was the LUSH cinnamon shampoo bar
£5.00 for 55grams

This product comes in the form of a solid shampoo bar and has the simple and straightforward name of New! It is designed to stimulate your scalp in order to promote the growth of new and healthy hairs. It has been specifically created for those who are losing hair due to hormonal factors such as stress.

The bar is fairly small and circular in shape but don't be deceived by its size because it is very long lasting. The bar is a reddish colour with some cinnamon sticks used to decorate it.AMAZING!
