Do you want a mermaid hair? Sign up for these great tricks to grow hair and wear melenon in less time.
1. Does not grow at night
Unless your scalp is superior to the rest, it will take a while. Celebs stylist Mark Townsend, who helped Ashley Olsen get out of her bob in style, says the hair only grows between 0.7 and 1.2 centimeters a month, as long as he is healthy and without split ends .
2. Ironically, scissors are your allies
This will help it stay healthy and not break. This, according to experts, is one of the main fundamentals of every hairdresser. It is advisable to clean it every 10/12 weeks to prevent fractures and help grow hair.
3. Always use conditioner
“If your hair is wet, you have to apply conditioner,” says Townsend. With the coloring and the time, the hair begins to become thinner. The conditioner helps replace lipids and proteins inside the hair.
4. But don't use shampoo every time you shower
Unlike the conditioner, shampoo, according to our expert, is what you should skip more often. We tell you why: the purpose of the shampoo is to remove dirt and accumulation of other products in the hair, but you may also carry essential natural oils from your hair. When you really need shampoo, apply it delicately only to the scalp.
5. Apply oil or hair mask once a week
Since the hair is in contact with more parts of the body, it needs care beyond the normal conditioner. Townsend suggests the use of masks and oils weekly. In addition, the expert gives us the perfect recipe (home made!): 1 cup of unrefined coconut oil mixed with a tablespoon of almond oil, macadamia oil and jojoba oil. Because the oils can leave some residue in the hair, it is recommended to apply when the hair is wet and leave on for 10 minutes. Then, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner as usual.
6. Consider hair supplements
Your diet also influences the health of your hair, and a proper diet can promote the growth of your hair. It is possible that in your diet you are not including all the necessary nutrients, so it is recommended that you consult a specialist to recommend the correct products and quantities.
7. Brush your hair carefully
Constant brushing can cause physical damage to the hair, breaking it and preventing it from growing as it should. "When you untangle damp hair, make sure you start to untangle yourself at the bottom and go up gradually," says our expert. He also recommends using brushes with boar hair bristles to untangle.
8. Change the cover of your cushion
To grow hair, Townsend recommends switching to a satin fabric, as it has a softer surface that does not cause friction with the hair.
9. Don't roll your hair in a towel
In doing so, your hair is trapped in all its fibers and the filaments become weaker, being more likely to break. If you are going to continue using a towel, make it a superfine.
10. Change the position of the ponytail
With this simple movement you can maintain the integrity of your hair strands, letting them grow faster.
11. Give yourself a rinse of cold water in your hair before leaving the shower
"This really helps your hair grow and stay healthy longer," says Townsend. Cold water is deposited in the outermost layer of hair and helps prevent loss of softness and heat damage.
