These are six simple rules to promote hair growth, prevent hair loss and make them healthy long and strong.

No matter which hairstyle one adopts, the fact is that more than 95% of men and women admire long beautiful hair. Although many give up the desire to grow their tresses long, most women struggle throughout their lives to get their hair long beautiful and lustrous. While doing so most of us are in a hurry, trying to get locks straight down the waist within months or even days. In fact this is not a matter of days. One has to be patient and consistent. This may take years to get what we dream and we can be proud of. Here are few tips and practical guideline to grow your hair long, beautiful and glossy.
First Rule to Promote Hair Growth - Start Loving Your Hair
Though most of us already love our hair, even if you have never, start doing so. Do not compare them with others and degrade them. Love them just the way they are. Always remember hair differ from person to person and there are so many factors that are responsible for their looks, promote their growth and determine their life span. These factors include genetics, diet, age, metabolism, hormones, ethnicity, medication and above all the care you show to your lovely locks. Try to surmount the ones you can, like your diet, medication (if possible) and your hair care.
- Always be gentle to your hair. Use good quality hair products and hair accessories. Brush you hair gently and try to put minimum trauma while brushing and styling. Read more on proper brushing hair.
- Properly remove excess water from wet hair with a towel (but remember to be temperate). Don't rub your hair vigorously with towel. For untangling wet hair never use a brush. Always use a wide tooth comb to untangle wet hair. Again the quality of comb is important, use natural bristle hair combs and brushes or alternatively you can find smooth wooden combs and brushes.
- Start brushing or combing from the bottom of the locks then work toward the top. This way you can minimize the damage.
- Allow your hairs to dry naturally whenever possible. If you are in a hurry, use a blow dryer at lowest possible setting. The intense heat from blow drying can cause split ends.
- Do not use too hot water for hair and scalp. It can damage the roots and promote dandruff. Furthermore too hot water can wash away natural oils from scalp giving your beautiful locks a dry fizzy look.
Second Rule to Promote Hair Growth - Be Selective
Do not put what so ever you find. Always be selective. First step towards good hair care is to determine your hair type. Once you know what type of hair you have, select the proper shampoo and conditioner that is "really" suitable for your hair. Never use cheap or low quality hair products that can do more harm than any benefit. It is best to use all natural hair care products that contain natural oils these will help to restore their moisture. Do not skip the conditioner, it is important to maintain the beauty and shine of hair. Though you can get many natural conditioning hair products, the best option is to use a natural homemade hair conditioner. You can get a long list of kitchen items that can condition your hair naturally and give them beautiful lustrous look. Most popular ones include massage oils, egg, yougurt and many others. Here are easy recipes on natural hair conditioners.
Never use any harsh chemicals on your hairs like dyes or styling products. If you want to grow your tresses really long and get them fast, forget these chemical based hair products. These products harm your manes more than any thing. If you want hair dye try to do it with natural products like henna. Again no hot irons or curling irons, these will weaken the hair roots promoting hair loss.
Third Rule to Promote Hair Growth - Keep Them Tidy
Always keep them clean. Tangled hair with unhealthy, clogged, and dirty scalp can never promote good hair growth. To keep them clean;
- Shampoo your manes at least twice a week if they are thin and fine. For dry and coarse hair just washing them once a week works best, while oily hairs may need to be washed daily to look healthy and glowing.
- Another important step to give your hairs a clean and healthy look is to trim them properly and at proper time, for most hairs this time is once a month but if you have really healthy hairs you may do not need to trim hairs before two months or even more. But it is best to do so before split ends start peeping out of your pony or braid.This will help to promote faster hair growth.
Forth Rule to Promote Hair Growth - Hot Oil Treatment

Make hot oil treatments a part of your regular hair care regimen.
Hair treatment with natural oils have enjoyed a prominent place throughout the history in almost every civilization. Although nowadays some researchers do not believe the efficacy of hot oil treatments for proper hair care, yet we must consider that thousands of years of folklores can not be false. In fact a good hair oil massage works as an excellent hair conditioner, giving soft, shiny healthy hair.
It prevents the formation of split ends and promote hair growth. There are a number of massage oils that can be worked on scalp and hair to get good results. |
You can use them alone or in combination, except for castor oil that is too thick to use alone on the scalp and hair. After applying hair oil, massage with finger tips throughout the scalp. This improves blood supply to hair follicles, making them healthy, preventing their loss and promoting hair growth. Let the oil work for at least one hour (over night is a better option), then shampoo as routine. You may need to wash your hair twice or even more to remove oil properly. If you really want to grow your hairs long and healthy, give them a hot oil treatment no less than once a week.
The most popular oils include;
- Jojoba oil
- Olive oil
- Almond oil
- Coconut oil
- Mustard oil
- Sesame oil
- Castor oil.
Fifth Rule to Promote Hair Growth - Eat Healthy
Our hairs are equally influenced by the food we eat just as any other part of our body. If we eat a healthy well balanced food full of proteins, all essential vitamins and minerals, we are promoting our hair to grow fast and healthy. However an unfortunate aspect of globalization is the growing trends of fast foods which are high-fat, high-animal protein and high-salt diets that damages the kidneys and creates acidic blood, thereby leading to hair loss, according to Paul Pitchford's Healing with Whole Foods These junk foods also lack vitamins thus leading to vitamin deficiency, which is another obstacle to shiny longhair.
Thus to make your hair grow long and fast, you need to take lots of juices, fresh fruits, nuts, fish and green vegetables. A good vitamin supplement can help a lot.
Sixth Rule for to Promote Hair Growth - Protect Them
Take good care to get long hair.
- Avoid chlorinated or salty water. If you are crazy for swimming, always use a swimming cap or at least shampoo your hair after swimming.
- Always wear a cap with brim or a scarf to protect from sunlight. You can also use a conditioner with SPF protection but these are usually not very effective.
- Use good quality fabric covered ponytails to avoid any trauma caused by elastics. Always be very selective for the hair accessories you put to style your locks as much of the damage is caused by unsuitable clips and ponytails.
- Braid your hair and tie them in a pony tail before going to bed to avoid any breakage during sleeping. This also helps to decrease hair loss.
- Never use electric appliances to your hairs, like electric rods, curling irons, hot rollers, or flat irons. Similarly avoid other chemical based hair treatments to prevent unnecessary trauma.
