My tips will make your hair grow at 100% peak speed – a health cocktail is key, you’ll have the locks you had at 18
A HAIRCARE fan has shared her tips to maximize hair growth.
She explained there is no magical hair solution that can trump science.
The Redditor shared her haircare and beauty tips in a post.
She believes that your overall health affects hair growth the most.
There is no product or ingredient out there that can beat taking care of yourself, she said.
She advised those looking to boost their hair growth to follow her “general good health cocktail” recommendations.
“Drinking plenty of water, fulfilling ALL your nutrient needs, getting your heart pumping, keeping a very good posture, sleeping well, good breathing, and etc.,” she said.
Once your health foundation is built and strong, then a bit of maintenance can go a long way.
A trick, she revealed, is the impact of some light exfoliation.
She explained you need to be “keeping your hair under control.”
“A mix of cleaning and light exfoliation while making sure your hair oils are keeping your scalp nice and happy and not irritated,” she said.
To increase the blood flow and promote growth, she shared a free and easy tip that can be done every day.
“Massage or any kind of stimulation,” she said, “but there isn’t much muscle around your scalp, so massage is where you go.
“On that note, work your muscles around the head.”
Studies have shown that scalp massages can increase hair thickness, as well as lower stress hormones and blood pressure.
Massages can be done in the shower, with the help of shampoo or conditioner on wet hair.
Users must apply moderate pressure to the scalp with their fingers in a circular motion.
Another option is to use a scalp massage tool or brush, which can help stimulate blood flow, lather products, and loosen flaky skin.
Massages can be made therapeutic with the addition of essential oils, like peppermint.
While the original poster didn’t believe that you can make hair grow faster than it naturally does, she emphasized that factors to have hair grow at optimal speeds are within your control.
“Nothing outright ENHANCES your hair growth but you can make it grow at 100% of its peak speed by making your body flow properly,” she said.
“[It] will be like 90-95% of the speed back when you were 18 so it’s gonna be fast as hell.”
