How do I Increase Hair Growth in Women?

1.

Massage your melon. When the shampoo girl at the salon gives you a scalp massage, that's not just so you'll tip her well. Scalp massage makes blood rush to your head, stimulating your hair follicles. This makes your hair grow faster. Rub your scalp with your fingertips once a day while you're soaking up steam in the shower. Not only will it improve hair growth, it also feels fantastic.

2.

Keep your mop moisturized. Dry hair is more brittle and more prone to breakage, which makes it seem like it grows slower. Unless you have insanely oily hair, you don't need to shampoo every day. Instead, use a moisturizing sulfate-free shampoo every other day at most. You'll also want to use a conditioner regularly, as well as use a deep conditioner once a week.

3.

Treat your tresses with tender loving care. Don't rip your hairbrush through your hair while it's wet, constantly use hot styling tools or chemically treat your hair too often. While hair can handle a lot, too much wear and tear will end up damaging your tresses, causing the hair to break or fall out. While your hair's wet, use a wide-toothed comb to untangle knots and be gentle when brushing dry hair. Limit hot tool usage to a couple of times a week if possible and use a heat protectant spray before even lifting that blow dryer.

4.

Beauty starts from the inside out, so treat your bod well, and your hair will thank you. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and avoid junk foods that contain lots of fat, sugar and artificial ingredients. If your diet leaves something to be desired -- and let's face it, most of us could eat better -- try taking a supplement. There are lots of supplements out there that contain protein, fish oil, vitamins and minerals that your hair craves. You can find these supplements at beauty stores or even at the drug store.
