Hey everyone. This is the dream of all most every girl to have long thick hair but alas a very few of us have silky and long hair. Today I am going to share some easy quick tips with you all which will help you grow your hair quickly.
1. Regular trimming:
Although getting regular trims to snip splits won't
make your hair actually grow faster, it will keep tips looking healthy
and prevent splits from working their way up strands, requiring you to
chop hair off more often. "If you wait so long that splits are causing
your hair to break off high up on the strand, your hair will actually be
shorter than if you get consistent trims," Townsend says, who suggests
asking your stylist to take around just an eighth of an inch off every
10 to 12 weeks to prevent extreme split ends before they start.
2. Use a Conditioner whenever you shampoo:
"If your hair is wet, that means you have to
condition it," Townsend says. "Over time, from coloring and heat
styling, strands start to get thinner at the bottom." Conditioner helps
replace the lipids and proteins inside the hair shaft, "as well as seal
the cuticle to help prevent more damage from happening so that you can
get your hair to grow longer and look healthier," he says.
3. Apply an oil or mask treatment weekly.
Because
hair that touches your shoulders or beyond can be several years old and
most likely needs more TLC than normal conditioner. Townsend suggests
using moisture-based masks and oils weekly. "I make a natural oil
treatment and give it to all of my clients to use pre-shampoo," Townsend
says. (His easy recipe: 1 cup of unrefined coconut oil mixed with 1
tablespoon each of almond, macadamia and jojoba oil.) Because oils can
leave a residue on hair, he says to apply it to damp hair, leave it on
for 10 minutes, then shampoo and condition like normal. "These oils are
able to fill strands up with fatty acids and then, when rinsed out,
using regular shampoo helps seal them inside hair," Townsend says,
adding that Kate Bosworth, Diane Kruger, and Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen
are fans. Not into DIY? Try an oil-based hair treatment instead.
4. Brush your hair like it's spun from gold.
Constant
brushing can cause physical harm to your hair. "When you detangle wet
hair, be sure to start from the bottom and work your way up — we often
instinctually go from the scalp down but that just brings small tangles
into one large knot and can cause you to lose a lot of hair," Townsend
explains. He also suggests boar bristle brushes are good at distributing your scalp's natural
oils down your hair and being extra-gentle on strands too.
5. Do a cold-water rinse at the end of each shower.
"This
really does help to grow hair and keep long hair healthy for longer,"
Townsend says. "Cold water lays down the outer layer of hair more
smoothly, which helps prevent moisture loss, snags and heat damage — you
only need to do it for a few seconds, but this one extra step over time
can make a huge difference."
So these were some simple tips and tricks to get long silky tresses. I hope they were helpful.
