About Hair Follicles
Before we dive into the tips and tricks, it is also important to know that we are all born with all of the hair follicles that we will ever have in our life. That means that we are not able to create more hair but what we can do is to stimulate hair re-growth from our existing hair follicles.
Keep in mind also that for effective hair growth, you will require a healthy scalp, a healthy body, and healthy hair habits. The tips that we have will be focused on achieving these three!
1. Find the root of the issue
Book an appointment with a dermatologist or a scalp care expert to determine the exact cause of your hair thinning and hair loss. Here are some possible reasons:
- Abnormal stress
- Poor health
- Oily scalp
- Excessive chemical treatments
- Aging
- Wrong combing method
- Hormones problems
This is not an exhaustive list, but your expert will be able to help you accurately diagnose the root of the issue by scanning your scalp and understanding your lifestyle habits. When you know the root of the issue, you can then start treating the root for a permanent and more beautiful result.
2. Massage your scalp with hair tonics

Hair tonics deliver nutrients to the scalp and reinvigorates hair follicles to lengthen hair life span and reduce hair loss.

4. Eat nutrient rich food
There have been studies that show that Vitamins B12 and D, biotin, riboflavin, iron, and other vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy scalp and luscious hair. Therefore, it is important that we eat a balanced diet that is rich in these vitamins and minerals.
To promote hair re-growth and reduce hair loss, incorporate these food in your diet:
- eggs
- salmon
- berries
- spinach
- sweet potatoes
- avocadoes
- soybeans
- yoghurt
- seafood
- liver
- red meat
- beans
5. Avoid all types of chemical treatments
To grow your hair in the fastest time, you have to avoid all types of chemical treatments during this period. These includes hair dyes and bleaching, straightening (home or salon), perms, and other heat-related chemical treatments. All these will open the cuticles of your hair strands, weaken your hair bonds and cause them to be brittle.
Reduce the usage of hairdryers too if you can and let your hair dry naturally.
The general formula to grow your hair faster and longer is
Time + Hydration (hair masks and deep conditioners) + Low Manipulation (no chemical treatments, colouring, and tight hairstyles that cause tension to the scalp).
We hope these tips and tricks will help you to grow your hair to your desired length and volume. And remember: if you are experiencing severe hair fall, go to your doctor to find out what’s really going on inside your body and/ or within your scalp.
