Steps For Growing Long, Luxurious Hair

April 6, 2009




haircare_visuelLong, luxurious hair is a real beauty. But growing it can be a problem. Did you know that genetics plays a role in determining how long your hair can grow? It does, along with the growth cycle of your hair follicles and the shape and size of your hair shaft. Still, there are steps you can take to make sure your hair is as long and lovely as you desire.

Growing Tips

It sounds weird, but the first thing you need to do to grow your hair long is to get it cut—not cut short, but get a good professional trim, of about half an inch. This will remove any split ends and help keep your hair healthy. You will also need to eat a nutritious diet so you hair will grow strong and healthy. To encourage blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, be sure to drink plenty of water and get some exercise daily.

The next most important thing you can do if you want your hair to grow long is to treat it with gentleness and kindness. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Use only gentle hair care products, including shampoo and conditioner. Some companies even make special products now for long hair.

• Treat your hair with a delicate touch when it is wet. Never pile your hair on top of your head when shampooing, but do follow with a cool rinse to help seal the hair cuticle. Never scrub your hair with a towel to dry it.

• Use a moisturizing conditioner twice a week and a protein conditioner at least once a month. Pay special attention to fragile ends; try a leave-in conditioner to keep them strong.

• Keep the use of heat appliances, like hair dryers and curling irons, to an absolute minimum.

• When styling your hair, comb and handle it gently. Take your time and never pull or jerk on your hair. Choose styles that protect the ends, like a French roll or a bun. Try not to fuss with your hair too much.

• A satin pillowcase can help prevent tangles from developing when you sleep. No satin pillowcase? Try a satin or silk scarf tied over your pillow.
