HAIR GROWTH TIPS TO COUNTER HAIR BREAKAGE

Have you ever had a feeling that your hair isn’t growing? Like you hair has been above your shoulders for so long and hasn’t grown an inch.

You are not alone in this, a lot of people are having problem with slow or stunted hair growth.

But you see, our hair never stops growing. Even people with hair loss still have hair growing on their bald spots. These are very thin and transparent hairs called villus hairs. So in reality, our hair do not stop growing.

If our hair don’t stop growing, why is it not getting longer? Well, the simple answer is hair breakage.

Hair breakage occurs when the hair follicles produce weak hair strands or it can also be due to external causes like heat styling from hot iron strengtheners, curlers or blow driers. The break can occur anywhere through the length of hair, it can break at the very top, middle or near the end.

Weak hair strands are usually due to poor nutrition. Ever noticed those extreme dieters who have really dry looking hair and wrinkly matted skin? That’s because they don’t consume the proper nutrients to sustain healthy skin and hair growth.

Fortunately, healthy hair growth isn’t that difficult to achieve, below are some tips to get your hair growing.

To get healthy hair growth and strong hair strands, first you need to eat healthy. Getting the right amount of nutrients like protein, can help regain healthy hair growth and healthy hair strands. Foods rich in protein are lean meats from beef and pork, chicken, fish and a good vegetable source of protein is soy.

Take your daily vitamins. Vitamins help metabolize food more efficiently. Also, certain vitamin deficiencies can cause hair loss like biotin deficiency. There are also vitamins that can help beautify and strengthen hair when applied directly to the scalp and hair like biotin and pantothenic acid. Biotin help strengthen each hair strand, while Pantothenic acid or pro-vitamin B5 makes hair really shiny and slippery, which makes brushing and combing really easy. Both vitamins help reduce hair breakage.

Stop using heat when styling hair. Heat really does a good job when it comes to hair styling, but can make hair dry and brittle if constantly used. Hot irons can literally vaporize the little moisture the hair holds. It is best to use this method of styling only on special occasions and not on a daily basis.

Invest on a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Hair products like FAST shampoo and conditioner will not only clean your hair and scalp, it will also stimulate faster hair growth. FAST or Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy is specifically made to grow hair really fast and it also contain biotin and pantothenic acid to fight hair breakage.
