You might have often heard people saying that to grow long hair, the appropriate way is to stop cutting it. That’s a pretty obvious and basic answer. But we know many other more effective and productive ways than this. Since the beauty of long hair has a huge impact on personality, both males and females are largely curious to know about healthy and long hair tips. Healthy hair growth requires a few important things including using products made of caffeine, having a proper diet, reducing stress etc.  When it comes to the size of the hair, those with short hairstyles need not be worried as it is much easier to care for short hair compared with long hair.

Here in this blog, we share a few important hair care tips for men and women to grow and maintain long and healthy hair. We suggest you give these basic tips a try for one month, then reevaluate and see the results for yourself. With proper handling, even the most damaged and knotty hair can restore itself and flourish.

Nurturing Your Hair from Root

The first question that comes to mind is ‘how to maintain long healthy hair’. Generally, one can expect six inches of hair growth in a year as hair grows an average of half an inch per month. But this hair growth varies from person to person as some get less and some more. A few important steps are crucial to ensure prompt and healthy hair growth which are: staying hydrated, eating well and getting enough circulation. When we are not healthy our skin, hair, and nail growth hampers. Many other solutions work well to increase the growth but it is conditional on solving an underlying problem with the scalp. A healthy scalp lies in a healthy body which is exceedingly important for healthy hair growth. If you have dandruff, rapidly thinning hair or any other issue like this, consult a doctor, research it, do your due diligence and start by fixing your scalp.

Reduce Your Shampoo Use

You don’t need to shampoo your hair every day. Not even then when you are working out. The less you use shampoo, the better for your hair. Generally, your hair does not become dirty on normal days provided that you don’t fail to wash your hands regularly and then touch your hair. If you cannot do so, try a cleansing conditioner. Shampoo causes friction which ultimately damages your hair. Instead of using shampoo, use skin-friendly products and rinse well. The only place you need to apply shampoo is your scalp. If you have hard water, use a clarifying or consider getting a water softener. Avoid the use of clarifying more than the need. And if you are using coating or waxy products that you feel warrant a clarifying shampoo, stop using them and find other products. Instead, use gentler products recommended by doctors that will help grow and maintain your hair.

Choosing the Best Conditioner

How well the conditioner works on your hair largely depends on the type of water that is coming out of your tap. Those using soft water will have almost entirely different results from those using hard water. Again, we suggest you use soft water. It is much better. The conditioners that produce good results are the ones that give plenty of slip and dehydration to prevent friction. Slip becomes crucial when you have damaged hair tending to stick to itself. Personally speaking, I love silicones and believe they are harmless if used appropriately. In contrast to that many people are reluctant to use them and prefer other products available without silicone but that also provide a good amount of slip. There are numerous conditioners available in the market but make sure to read the reviews. When reading product reviews and also look for people with similar history, hair type and condition.

Right Oil for Your Hair

There are people you may have come across non-stop applauding different oils, prominent of which include coconut oil for hair care. They believe that the oil solves all types of hair-related problems. But based on my years of experience, whenever I used this oil, it made my hair feel crunchy, regardless of whether I was all natural or bleached blonde. I never got the results I was expecting of it. Another oil that I found to produce wonderful results is Avocado oil. In addition to it, other oils also help maintain long hair such as argan and camellia oil. The important point to understand is that you have no idea whether the product is for you or not until you try it.

There are lots of other products ready to use but choose the one that you think is appropriate for your needs. Making good changes to your hair.
