One of the basic facts about hair growth is one that most people don't want to hear: there's no magic formula to make hair grow. The only sure thing that has ever made hair grow is time and patience. The closest thing to 'instant hair growth' is extensions--clip them in and go. But making your own locks grow takes nothing but time. However, there are a few facts to consider during the wait.
Avoid Dehydration
Drink water. A body that is dehydrated at the cellular level cannot function at its best. By the time you feel thirsty enough to drink, your cells have been crying out for hydration. According to www.hairboutique.com, dehydration may be the cause of dry stands, hair breakage or even the stoppage of hair growth. The hair experts also suggest drinking green tea to encourage hair growth because it supports cardiovascular functions by increasing circulation, which nourishes hair follicles.
Prevent Problems
The experts at www.hairfinder.com suggest that you keep your hair clean and well-conditioned in order give it the optimal benefits of growth. Avoiding excessive nicotine and caffeine is vital; they play a huge role in contributing to lackluster, dull hair. Also, a lack of exercise can contribute to circulation problems that will show up in lackluster hair first. Keeping your hair well-trimmed with regular visits to the stylist and avoiding excessive heated styling tools is critical.
Sleep More
Erratic sleep patterns can play havoc with your energy level, your overall health and, thus, your hair and skin. If you have problems sleeping, consider adding a low dose of melatonin to your nightly routine. Sleep reduces stress and aids in overall relaxation.
Eat Nurtient Dense Foods
Our bodies crave vitamins and minerals, which are key ingredients in every bodily function, especially hair growth. When we starve our bodies by replacing nutrient rich foods with fast foods and processed foods, our hair and nails are the first place it shows up--victims of nutrient starvation. Without the right vitamin and mineral building blocks, hair cannot grow.
Check Your Thyroid
The thyroid gland plays a significant role in the ability to grow healthy hair. Signs of hypothyroidism include tiredness and hair and nails that become dry and brittle. In addition, people with this condition may experience a higher rate of hair loss than normal.
Save Your Money
Consider one final fact: there are many products that claim to make hair grow, but there are no established studies that prove there are any products that make hair grow thicker or faster. Take your vitamins, eat a balanced diet, exercise and get enough sleep but whatever you do don't waste your money on 'magic formulas' for hair growth--there are none.
