How long does it take to grow hair?
Before going into the tricks for fast hair growth, you should know that hair grows in the phase called growth (within the life cycle of a hair) which, in general, can last between 2 and 6 years.
The duration of this phase of hair growth does not depend only on how we take care of it or the products we use. The rate of hair growth is also determined by other factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, stress, lifestyle, and diet…
Every day a little more!
If your obsession with growing your hair faster is important, you should know that you have no choice but to arm yourself with patience, cutie. Why?

How to make your hair grow faster?
If you want to know what you can do to make your hair grow fast, these are our 10 infallible secrets:
1- Clean your tips periodically
Although it may seem counterintuitive, trimming split ends is ideal for keeping hair healthy and making it grow faster. Damaged or damaged hair grows more slowly than healthy hair, so make an appointment with your hairdresser every 3 months and you will notice the difference. Of course: make it clear to your stylist that you cut the minimum!
2- Maximum hydration and nutrients for the hair
Keep in mind hair oils such as coconut or olive, will leave it shiny and silky and will also stimulate hair growth.
Once a week you can prepare a moisturizing mask as a treatment to grow hair, with ingredients that you surely have at home. You will only need:
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup of water
If you mix the ingredients well and apply them to your hair for half an hour, when you rinse it you will see how soft and healthy it is.

3- Use specific products to grow hair
Surely you know that there is a wide variety of products on the market that contain components that can help hair grow: shampoos, lotions, conditioners, masks,...
Among the ingredients that help hair growth and that you should look for in your hair care products, we highlight:
Arginine (the amino acid that nourishes the hair, gives it shine, and enhances its growth).
Marine glycogen (provides vitality to the hair and makes it synthesize proteins faster).
Vitamin B.
Zinc (participates in the production of creatine and collagen).
Red onion (it is a super antioxidant that stimulates blood circulation).
4- Rinse the hair well and with warm water
When you wash your hair, it is important to rinse it well and that there is no trace of residue or elements that do not allow proper oxygenation.
Another important trick is that the water you use when rinsing it is of a pleasant temperature, pulling warm. Water that is too hot can irritate your scalp and cause other problems to avoid.
5- Brush and dry your hair with great care
Both when brushing and drying your hair, do it gently and lovingly. Brushing your hair daily stimulates blood circulation in the scalp and helps your hair grow longer and better. If you also use brushes with wooden bristles, you will take better care of it and reduce that frizz effect that annoys us so much.
6- Pass dyes and heat on your hair for a while
Although fantasy dyes are very fashionable if what you really want is for your hair to become a mane, rest from dyes for a season. In the same way, you should avoid or reduce the use of heat tools such as irons, curling irons, curling irons... Their incorrect or prolonged use thins the hair and makes it more fragile and brittle.
7- Join the fashion of scarves and bandanas
Scarves and bandanas have become, in a short time, the star accessory that is valid for any occasion. They are a perfect option to decorate the hair without damaging it and make it healthy and grow without problems.
8- Take care of your diet and take vitamins to promote hair growth
Among many other benefits for your health, a balanced and varied diet can help you show off your hair. It includes foods with nutrients and vitamins so that your hair grows faster: vitamins A, C, and B, iron, biotin, zinc, potassium, beta-carotene, Omega 3...
To grow hair fast, don't forget to add to your shopping list: green leafy vegetables (lettuce, chard, broccoli, spinach), carrot, avocado, citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, lemon), legumes (lentils, chickpeas...), oily fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, cereals... or drinking water frequently.
9- Check the lunar calendar before cutting your hair
Although they are popular beliefs without any scientific evidence... we will tell you just in case! They say that depending on the phase of the moon when you cut your hair, it will grow more or less quickly. Thus, according to this theory, your hair will grow faster if you cut it in the waxing lunar phase, between the new moon and the full moon. If you have put it into practice and see that it works, we would love for you to tell us about it!
