What can i do to make my hair grow?

Question

im 27 and its been the same shoulder length for the past ten yrs, it just ends up breaking off at the ends aswell as getting split ends, is there a brush i could use to reduce this?

Answer 1

Hi there,

I don't know if there is a brush, but there are many reasons why your hair could be like this.

Do you smoke? This is one reason why your hair could be weak as smoking has many effects on your body.

Also do you bleach your hair regularly?

From this it can cause it to be dry, as these dyes aren't good for you, meaning that hair splits.

Do you blow dry or use heating equipment regularly?

This can cause your hair to be damaged and give spilt ends as it dries it out. This is known from personal experience as at one stage my hair was really really split ended.

Do you trim regularly?

This is essentially and will make your hair grow faster, because the dead follicle's which are damaged are removed.

Lastly eating a balanced diet, this will help your hair improve , as if you are healthly your hair gets all the minerals and vitamins, which are needed. So you could be lacking them.

If you don't know what these are I would advice you to research or even see your doctor and she will advise you.

Ps: When washing hair massage into scalp, as this is relaxing and increases growth.

Also if you have really knotty hair, comb when wet, as will be easier to get knots out and reduce split ends.

Hope this has been helpful

Answer 2

Brushing your hair is not good for the hair.  It is kept healthy by not constantly manipulating it.  Leaving heat, and chemicals out of it.  I say Cut, Condition, and do not color your hair, and do not brush frequently.  Especially do not brush when wet, brushing tends to pull the hair and when wet it is taking the hair past the stretching point which weakens the hair and causes breakage.  There are so many do's and don'ts google long hair and see what you come up with.  There are so many plans you have to choose the path that is right for you.  My hair is mid back and a brush doesn't come near my hair, then again I have sisterlocks :-)

Answer 3

I don't think theres a brush you can use, but you could try a deep conditioner that would repair your hair and keep moisture in the hair. You should also put serum on hair ends to prevent breakage. Avoid perms, chemical straightening and heating your hair with irons.Then just wait for your hair to grow.

Answer 4

Brush your hair gently with preferably wooden brushes to increase hair growth. Never brush the hair when it is wet. If one wants to grow hair, trim the hair once every month, just the tips will do. Try http://solutionsforhairgrowth.blogspot.c... for more details.

Answer 10

get it trimmed every 8 weeks or so

if your using quite a heavy brush (such as brissel) try something more smooth

reduce how often you wash your hair, every 3 days is good

eat lots of nuts, specially almonds. They also improve nail strength

if you straighten or blow dry, use heat protection products, same if you go on holiday or in very hot weather
