Boost Hair Growth: Proven Tips & Healthy Habits

The average person has around 100,000 strands of hair on their head and the average rate of growth is a mere one-half of an inch per month.  By the time the ends of your hair actually grow down to your shoulders, they are approximately two years old.

Here are some hair growing tips:

• Eliminate or cut back on smoking, caffeine and carbonated sodas which weaken the body and block maximum hair growing potential.
• Eat a healthy diet.  Avoid foods that are high in sugar or fat.
• Treat your hair like a piece of fine old lace.  Treat it carefully avoiding any unnecessary brushing, combing or handling.
• Avoid use of hot water, hot blow dryers or other hair care tools that may stress the hair.
• Have a weekly scalp massage to provide stimulation to the hair follicles.
• Do a series of ongoing hot oil treatments to protect the hair's shaft.
• Have regular trims to eliminate split ends and allow the hair to look and feel healthier.
• Get plenty of rest and sleep to allow your body to grow hair.
