5 tips to make your hair grow faster and longer

Maybe it's because of feeling the sea breeze between the hair which shampoo announcement, or to see how the sun and the beach give us back those blond wicks that we hadn't seen since we were little. In any case, we need our hair to start growing faster because time is on us. We explain how to get it before September arrives.

1. Scalp health is key

When you focus on growing your hair, don't forget your scalp. Scalp health is a key component of hair growth. An active treatment in your hairdressing salon, prior to the summer season, can help your hair look thicker, healthier and stronger from the roots. These hair beauty rituals work to increase blood flow and scalp metabolism starting at the roots, which contributes to even faster growth.

It is also about reducing clogged pores that prevent hair from growing. Oily scalps produce a lot of sebum, the skin's natural oil, and it tends to mix with dead cells to clog pores. If this is your case, the first thing you should do is avoid the oils and overly moisturizing ingredients in your shampoo. But also products that are too dry, which could strip the skin of its natural oil and stimulate increased oil production. Try hemisqualano-based shampoos, a sugar-derived ingredient that acts as a natural version of silicone, reducing frizz and keeping hair soft.

2. Control the temperature of the hair dryer and the iron

If you are one of those who always put the iron or the curling iron to the maximum possible heat, you will have already realized that it is not the best way to make your hair grow. Just because your hair tools can reach 450 degrees today, does not mean that your hair requires that temperature. In general, any heat source above 400 degrees should only be used for extremely thick hair or for professional use. The ideal for all other cases is to maintain the temperature between 360-380 degrees and ensure the brightness, hydration and flexibility of your hair.

3. Growth starts inside

It may not seem legitimate to take vitamin supplements or the so-called 'beauty pills', but if you want your hair to grow fast, you will have to start doing it. Ask in your trusted cosmetic center, in your head parapharmacy or in the herbalist. There are specific vitamins for hair that in less than a month and a half will leave your hair as you have never seen it before. The best hair supplements contain zinc, pantothenic acid, which acts as a sebum controller, vitamin A, hydrolyzed collagen and green tea leaf extract.

4. Protect your hair

There are two ways that you probably did not know to start protecting your hair from damage and breakage: sleep on a silk pillowcase and wear protectors against heat and water. The first is not only effective in caring for the health of the hair, but it will become your best friend to fall asleep and that the facial products you use at night do not stick to cotton. Once you try a silk pillow, there is no going back.

Choose A Shampoo Based on Your Hair Type!

Before using a hair dryer or an iron, if you want your hair to grow faster you have to avoid breakage, and for this it is essential that you get a heat shield. Another useful product for vacations, the beach and the sun, is the water protector. It is formulated to prevent moisture loss during cleaning and helps the hair maintain its natural pH. You can use it before you sweat in the gym or swim in the pool.

5. Hair also needs sun protection

If you have very clear skin, you will have experienced that your scalp also burns in the sun, which can damage the hair at the root and slow its growth. The best ally for not suffering these burns is the sunscreen in powder form (look for one that includes an applicator with a brush). They can be used at any time and usually include natural ingredients such as mint and chamomile, which is perfect for soothing the sunburned scalp.
