Long Hair

No matter how many vitamins you choke down every morning or how many trims you get every month, you cannot physically grow butt-length mane overnight—or even over many nights. Hair typically only grows a quarter inch—a half an inch max—per month. And still, getting long hair is only possible if it is super healthy and doesn’t have a ton of split ends. Wedding Affair brings to you a few tips to grow out long hair.

Invest In Scalp Care

If you’re trying to grow your locks fast, you need to pay attention to your scalp. The two most important layers of the skin in relation to the scalp are the dermis and the epidermis—the dermis contains our hair follicles, glands, nerves, blood vessels, collagen, elastin fibers, and fat cells. Introducing proper scalp care into your hair care routine will impact the rate of mane growth and the health of your hair fiber. When you take care of your scalp, you’re actually ensuring that blood and nutrients can easily flow to the hair follicle, which then helps minimize shedding and loss.

Get A Trim When Needed

Ah, the age-old beauty debate. Even though experts are divided on the concept of trimming your locks to make it grow faster, one thing’s for sure: If you’re after long, healthy-looking hair, frequent trims are a nonnegotiable. Living with frayed, split ends will eventually cause your hair to break farther up on the strand, which will not only make your hair look way thinner but, you know, also keep it from ever getting longer past a certain point. Ask your stylist to take just an eighth of an inch off your hair every 10 to 12 weeks to prevent split ends before they even start.

Consider Hair Growth Vitamins

Hair supplements are not a miracle cure and definitely shouldn’t be taken without talking to your doctor. If you follow a somewhat balanced diet, your body is typically already loaded with the hair-strengthening ingredients you’ll find in supplements (think: biotin, folic acid, vitamins D, A, C, and E), and doubling (or tripling!) your dose won’t actually make a difference. Your body only keeps what it needs and then it gets rid of the rest. That said, if you don’t eat balanced meals or you’re in an intense period of stress or trauma, you might not be getting the proper amount of nutrients you need to grow healthy, long mane.

Say No To Heat Tools And Dye

Straighteners, curling wands, chemical relaxers, or any other treatment or style that causes a lot of damage will not help your long-hair cause. The healthier your mane is, the longer it will grow, and overuse of these tools is not conducive to long hair. And if cutting down your heat-tool use isn’t a viable option, make sure you’re using a heat protectant every time you style. When you bleach your mane, it opens up the cuticle of your hair strands, causing significant damage—especially for those with darker locks—every single time. If you want your hair to grow longer and faster, you might want to reconsider that platinum dye job.
