The Best Guide To Hair Growth: Tips from a professional hairstylist
Healthy growing hair happen by accident. It’s very intentional proper care and the consistency of wanting to understand what your hair truly needs. As a professional hairstylist, I often get asked” how can I make my hair grow faster?” while there are no magic products that will grow your hair overnight. There are proven ways to support strong, healthy growth
1. Start With a Healthy Scalp
Think of your scalp as the soil where your hair grows. If it isn’t healthy, your hair won’t thrive.
Tips for scalp care:
Cleanse regularly to remove buildup.
Use lightweight oils to keep the scalp moisturized.
Try gentle scalp massages to stimulate circulation.
Avoid overly tight styles that cause tension.
Pro tip: A clean scalp promotes better follicle function, which supports growth.
2. Moisture Is Non-Negotiable
Dry hair leads to breakage — and breakage makes it seem like your hair isn’t growing.
Focus on:
Deep conditioning at least once a month, twice a month at most.
Leave-in conditioners for daily hydration.
Sealing moisture with natural oils or creams.
Remember: Retaining length is just as important as growing it.
3. Protect Your Hair
Protective styling helps minimize manipulation and reduces breakage.
Great options include:
Braids (once or twice a year is safe)
Twists (with breaks)
Wigs (with breaks)
Low-maintenance buns ( not too tight)
Just be sure not to keep styles in too long and always give your hair a break.
4. Trim Your Ends
Many people avoid trims because they think it slows growth — but the opposite is true.
Regular trims:
Prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft
Keep your hair looking fuller
Help maintain overall health
Aim for a trim every 8–12 weeks, depending on your hair’s condition.
5. Nourish Your Body
Hair health starts from within.
Support growth by:
Drinking plenty of water
Eating protein-rich foods
Adding fruits and vegetables for vitamins
Considering supplements (consult a professional first)
Healthy body = healthy hair.
6. Be Patient and Consistent
On average, hair grows about ½ inch per month. The key is sticking to a routine and trusting the process.
Avoid constantly switching products or trying every trend you see online. Consistency will always win.
