It's not difficult to attain long and
healthy hair. Hair stylist Sylvia Chen says, "To ensure that you have a
good hair growth, you must incorporate some essentials like washing your hair
with cold water, including proteins in your diet and massaging your scalp every
day."
Here are a few tips...
Brush
your hair:
Brushing your hair at least 50 times a day will improve the blood circulation
to your scalp. This also gives the hair follicles a force to grow. You must
brush your hair for at least 10 minutes before you go to bed.
Rinse
your hair with cold water: Says Chen, "Make sure that you wash your
scalp with a blast of cold water after you've applied shampoo and conditioner.
This will tighten the pores and improve blood circulation to your scalp."
Go
for a head massage:
Putting some pressure on your scalp will not only ease your stress and worries,
but will also ensure that your scalp receives nutrition, leading to hair
growth. You can either get a scalp massage done at home every week or visit a
salon for a professional one every 15 days.
Oil
your hair twice a week: Apart from getting your scalp massaged, you must
also oil your hair every week. Oiling ensures that your hair gets nutrition,
thus preventing hair fall.
Tie
up your hair every night: Did you know that tying up your hair every night
will protect your hair from friction with the pillows, thus preventing hair
fall? It also ensures that you do not get split ends and your hair does not
become rough.
Follow
a protein-rich diet:
Incorporate proteins like fish, meat and legumes in your diet to ensure that
you have strong, healthy hair. Adds Chen, "Proteins are good for your
scalp, as it increases the blood flow and also makes the roots stronger."
