Growing longer, thicker, healthier and shinier hair is not rocket science. Learning from natural hair experts is as easy as it gets. It is all embedded in our daily habits and lifestyle. So if you want to know how to grow natural hair faster, then pay attention. Here are 3 natural hair growth hacks to note:
1. Use hair grease. Petrolatum, which is a major component of hair grease, has been rumoured to be bad for hair, but that’s not entirely true. It’s a great serum that, if used correctly, has tons of benefits. To effectively use hair grease, start by deep conditioning your hair, moisturizing and then use a leave-in before applying hair grease.
2. Shampoo and exfoliate your scalp: If you have a dry scalp that happens to be tender, you should take shampooing and exfoliating your scalp seriously. When exfoliating your scalp, you can either use a manual scalp brush to lightly brush your scalp or use an automatic scalp brush. Another method is using a salt and oil mixture. The salt dislodges dirt and debris from your hair follicles while the oil lubricates the sebum, making it easy to wash off.
3. Eat a protein-rich diet. Hair needs protein to grow. A great way to know if you are eating enough protein, check your hair and nails. Nails get brittle and easily damaged when you’re low on protein and you’ll notice hair loss and a natural fading of the hair.
