10 Tips to Kickstart Hair Growth

Achieving hair growth and maintaining the beauty of the hair can be a challenge for many in their daily lives. You might not even realize how many things can stand in the way of your hair goals, whether it’s your pillowcase, poorly chosen products, or even vitamin deficiencies and clogged hair follicles, it can all have an impact. That’s why we’ve gathered some useful tips for you to kickstart hair growth and confidently show your hair crown.

1. IS EVERYTHING BALANCED WITHIN?

First and foremost, if you notice that your hair is shedding heavily or if hair growth has stopped, be sure to schedule a blood test, as hormonal issues or even vitamin deficiencies could be causing these symptoms. Iron deficiency is often the culprit, which can be revealed through a simple blood test. Remember, as long as something is unbalanced internally, external miracle products you buy won’t have much effect, no matter how promising they may seem.

2. HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTATION

It cannot be emphasized enough that to ensure smooth hair growth or to kickstart it, you need to start from within. If you consume too much fast food, greasy, and sugary foods every day, unfortunately, they won’t support your health, and consequently, your hair won’t be in the right condition either.

It’s highly recommended to consume foods like salmon, which contains Omega-3 fatty acids, oats, or yogurt, both rich in valuable ingredients such as silicon dioxide, B and D vitamins, and protein. But foods like nuts, avocado, and berries are also excellent choices, so try to include them in your diet as often as possible! (Tip: A good breakfast of oatmeal with yogurt, berries, and a little protein powder is a real superfood, and it keeps you full for hours!)

Don’t forget about proper hydration, with the recommended intake being 0.4 liters per 10 kilograms of body weight. So if you weigh 60 kilograms, drink at least 2.4 liters of water a day. A water bottle that you can take with you anywhere might be helpful, making it easier and more enjoyable to drink than from a regular glass.

And if you want to boost the potency of plain water a bit, consider adding some collagen powder. This is also a very important supplement for nutrient intake, especially if hair growth is your goal. But don’t forget to take vitamins in the morning, such as zinc, selenium, vitamins A, B, C, and D, and iron. These all play a significant role in maintaining the beauty of your hair, skin, and nails.

3. A LITTLE OIL CAN DO WONDERS

Have you come across TikTok’s latest trend, the rosemary oil scalp treatment? If not, let us tell you that this method is one of the greatest supporters of hair growth. However, instead of rosemary oil, you can also use argan oil, and if you use rosemary, always dilute it with another oil, as rosemary alone is very potent.

Before washing your hair, thoroughly brush it, then apply the oil to your scalp and hair ends, gently massaging the product in. Then leave it on for about 1-3 hours. It’s recommended to use a cleansing shampoo afterward to ensure the oil is thoroughly removed from your scalp.

4. OXYGEN THERAPY FOR SCALP HEALTH!

When the skin lacks oxygen supply, its metabolism slows down, it thins, loses elasticity, and the hair follicles become sick and die. However, due to the natural protective mechanism of the scalp, cosmetic products used to improve the condition of hair follicles cannot penetrate through the hardened layer of the epidermis, thus slowing down hair growth and initiating hair loss.

Adequate help is provided by trichology oxygen therapy for hair, during which not only fresh oxygen is delivered to deeper layers of the skin, but the oxygen, as a carrier molecule, helps to deliver the active ingredients to the right layers of the skin. Moreover, it’s a completely painless treatment! It’s a great help in cases of autoimmune, hormonal, or post-COVID hair loss, or even male pattern baldness.

5. ARE YOU USING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS?

We know, we know, drugstore products can be very tempting, especially after seeing them in commercials. Beautiful, healthy, and long hair that always shines and sparkles just right. Sadly, we have to burst your bubble; most drugstore products promise much more than they can deliver. Of course, if you naturally have beautiful, shiny hair, and hair growth is not an issue for you, then these might be suitable. But if you struggle with hair problems, we recommend professional products instead.

Start by identifying what scalp and hair problems you are facing.

If you answered yes to any of these, you need professional products, which you can find in our online shop, where we have put together hair care packages tailored to specific problems. Whether it’s curly hair, eczema, excessive hair loss, graying, or any type of hair treatment, you’ll find the right package for you!

6. REGULAR SCALP MASSAGE

You’ve probably heard that regular scalp massage can do wonders for achieving noticeable hair growth. You can even massage your scalp with your fingertips, but be very careful not to scratch your scalp with your nails, as you can easily cause micro wounds.

During the massage, the circulation of the scalp improves, leading to better nourishment and blood supply to the hair follicles, thereby accelerating hair growth.

7. TRIM A FEW INCHES!

A small, healthy trim or cutting off 1-2 centimeters every month or two can greatly help your hair appear healthier and longer. Thinned and split hair ends give the impression that your hair is not as long as it is. So if you notice split hair ends, be sure to visit your hairdresser to ensure that your hair remains healthy.

8. FORGET REGULAR TOWEL DRYING!

Surely, you’re not using a regular towel on your wet hair anymore, right? If you are, quickly replace it with a microfiber towel instead, which is much gentler on your hair strands, doesn’t break them, yet efficiently absorbs excess moisture. And, of course, it doesn’t cause tangles. This way, your hair will shed less after drying, and your strands won’t be damaged, thus avoiding breakage.

9. MINIMIZE HAIR STYLING AND HEAT USAGE

If your hair is constantly exposed to heat and chemicals, it will become thinner, brittle, and dull, making it more challenging to achieve hair growth. If possible, avoid using hair spray and straighteners.

10. CHOOSE THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES

Hair clips and scrunchies are becoming increasingly trendy lately. And for good reason because these are everyday accessories that are gentle on your hair and look great too. You can choose from endless colors and styles, and they even protect your hair, preventing breakage and promoting hair growth.
