WHAT TO DO ABOUT SLOW GROWING HAIR

Having slow-growing hair should not be a real problem if you keep yourself as healthy as possible. The old adage that eating healthy foods – lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables, fish, low-fat dairy products, eggs, and nuts – will also give you noticeably glowing skin and stronger hair holds true. Skipping meals, crash dieting, and diets consisting of “empty calories” won’t help if you wish to grow your hair longer.

Avoid smoking as this is said to have an adverse effect on the growth of hair due to arterial constriction . This is due to the fact that your body does not receive the optimum oxygenation needed for normal bodily functions and cellular processes to occur. Alcohol has also been found to have negative effects on hair growth since it decreases zinc levels in the body. Zinc is an important mineral for keeping the hair growth normal. Although minimal consumption of alcohol can be healthy for the body, drinking too much can lead to lower levels of zinc, thus affecting normal hair growth.

Regular exercise increases the blood flow to the body as well as the scalp. This in turn will translate to having a healthier head of hair. Gentle scalp massage will also do wonders to make the hair grow faster. A five-minute gentle massage is enough to stimulate your scalp’s blood supply thus bringing nutrients to the hair follicles for optimum hair growth.

Daily washing of the hair and scalp will remove all dirt and oils that have accumulated during the day. Having a clean scalp is equal to having healthier growth of hair as this prevents the follicles from getting clogged up and being stripped of nutrients. The key to safe daily shampooing is by using products that have natural ingredients. F.A.S.T. (Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy) is herbal-based and mild enough to use even on children’s hair. It also contains B vitamins, proven to assist in enhanced hair growth plus essential nutrients and proteins for your hair and scalp, also works great to prevent hair loss.

Hair normally grows at the rate of half an inch per month. F.A.S.T. can make your hair grow longer faster since it does not simply cleanse the hair. Unlike your regular shampoo, FAST does more – it feeds the hair with essential nutrients and proteins for faster hair growth in less time. By simply using F.A.S.T., you can easily grow your hair up to 45% faster. Use F.A.S.T. Conditioner in conjunction with the shampoo for even healthier and more moisturised hair.
