Increase Hair Growth and Strength

January 27, 2023

Keratin and dead skin cells make up hair. While there is no immediate technique to help your hair grow quicker, there are things you can do to keep it healthy and long.


Increase Hair Growth and Strength

1. Maintain your vitamin and nutrient levels

While many firms market hair development vitamins or supplements, they do not necessarily directly increase hair length. Because your body requires a lot of energy to help your hair grow, a lack of calories and certainnutrients might have an effect on it.
In general, obtaining your vitamins and minerals from food is preferable. But you should still consider taking supplements, especially if you have a deficit.


2. Use essential oils or carrier oils

Add a few drops of tea tree, rosemary, or lime essential oil to your shampoo or dilute it with jojoba oil.
According to a study, these three oils help boost scalp health. Despite this, there needs to be more research on essential oils that can cause your hair
to grow more quickly. In another study, it was found that the essential oils lavender, chamomile, thyme, peppermint, and garlic extract may help with hair loss treatment.
Avoid putting essential oils on your skin directly. Dilute them in carrier oil instead.
While evidence indicates that essential oils may have health advantages, the FDA does not monitor or control the purity or quality of essential oils.
Consult with a healthcare professional and carefully research a product’s calibre before you utilise essential oils. Always do a patch test before utilising a new
essential oil. Certain carrier oils, such as coconut, sunflower, mineral, and castor, may even aid in hair moisturisation.


3. Use topical ointments

Topical ointments are often advised for persons experiencing hair loss and may aid in the growth of your hair.

The following products increase hair development and aid in the treatment of alopecia, or hair loss:

• Melatonin is used topically. It may prevent hair loss and enhance the anagen growth cycle.
• 5% minoxidil topical (Rogaine). When taken regularly for 3 to 6 months, it slows hair loss.
• Topical finasteride (Propecia) prescription. This may boost hair development and slow hair loss in androgenetic alopecia, generally known as malepattern baldness.





4. Consume keratin supplements

Hair loss is a typical indicator of protein shortage; thus, protein supplements, especially keratin, may help people who are deficient improve their hair
condition. Aside from that, little is known about the effects of protein, keratin, and vitamins on hair health.


5. Apply a topical protein therapy to the affected area

Protein promotes hair growth while also protecting it from chemical and environmental harm. A low protein intake may be connected with decreased hair growth. Generally, receiving protein through food rather than from supplements is preferable. Certain vegetables, nuts, yoghurt, and meals like lean meat and fish are all good sources. If you often style or heat your hair, a protein treatment may help protect it. These items are available for purchase online.
