Hair Growth Tips

Along with this DIY hair growth oil spray, here my five best hair growth tips:

Get frequent trims. It sounds counterproductive, but this tip is really important. Cutting off any split ends at the bottom of your hair prevents the split from extending further up the hair shaft (which adds more damage and increases breakage).
Be gentle with your hair. When trying to grow out your hair, it’s vital to baby it. It’s fragile! Make sure to brush it gently (especially when it’s wet), ease up on the super-tight hairstyles, and avoid touching it as much as possible.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase. A silk pillowcase might seem like an unnecessary luxury, but it’s actually very helpful for maintaining hair health. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase can help reduce tangles, breakage, and damage during the night. (For best results, brush it gently before going to bed every night.)
Avoid over-doing, well, everything. Everything in moderation, especially when it comes to hair. Try not to bleach, color, or use hot tools on your hair too much.
Take care of the whole package. Your body knows that hair isn’t necessary for survival. That means that if you aren’t getting enough vitamins and nutrients, your hair is one of the last parts to get them, leading to poor hair health, breakage, and even hair falling out. Make sure to eat a balanced diet with enough protein, iron, B vitamins, vitamin E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.
