I swear by my hair growth tip – it costs nothing but made my locks noticeably longer, I’ve been doing it since I was 14
A WOMAN has shared a hair growth tip that has transformed her mane.
You could spend a fortune on hair growth treatments, but this won’t cost you a dime.
She’s been using her tried-and-tested formula since she was 14.
As far as she is concerned, she is in no hurry to change her hair care routine because it works for her.
Her locks are noticeably longer, and she was happy to pass her secret along.
She was responding to a desperate plea for help on Reddit.
“Is there anything proven to help hair grow?” a user asked in the post.
She admitted she had tried everything – supplements, vitamins, masks, treatments – but with little success.
Her hair was in such a bad state, she decided the best option was to take drastic action.
“My hair was severely damaged so I had to cut a good bit off recently,” she said.
While it was probably a good decision, she was in despair over her shorter-length hair.
“I’m really missing that length and want any advice on what can help hair growth,” she said.
“I know nothing is going to make it grow like a foot overnight, but literally, just anything that speeds up the process even if it’s just a tiny bit,” she said, desperate for help.
She came to the right place for a solution, because one commenter had the answer.
Her wonder method was surprisingly simple, but she said it did the trick.
“Scalp massage, I swear by it,” a Reddit user revealed in the post.

“When I was 14, I wanted that mainstream hair with one side shaved, but my mom wouldn’t let me,” she explained.
“So I would brush the hair on one side of my head every day for seven to nine months and pin it on the back to make it look like I had the side of my head shaved.”
But little did she know that this was going to have a miraculous effect on her hair growth.
“After a while, I noticed that the side that I brushed every day had noticeably longer hair,” she wrote.
So amazing were the results, that she incorporated it into her normal hair routine.
“Now I just use a massager when I wash my hair or massage with my fingers if I apply oil,” she revealed.
In other posts, Redditors had even more tips to encourage hair growth.
“Drinking plenty of water, fulfilling ALL your nutrient needs, getting your heart pumping, keeping a very good posture, sleeping well, and good breathing” is the secret, said one person.
Meanwhile, a beauty guru swore by a South Asian remedy that requires brushing her hair nightly with a wide-tooth comb and applying a homemade rosemary-peppermint spray to the scalp.
