1.) Grow Hair Faster by Paying Attention to What you Eat

Hair needs nutrients and proteins… the right type. Hair is mostly made of protein and if it does not get what it needs wants, it will not be as strong and you can even loose more hair than normal. Your hair needs to be strong in order to to keep it growing fast and not breaking up.

Types of food that contain essential ingredients that is necessary for faster hair growth (not all beneficial ingredients are listed for each source):

2.) What are You Doing to Your Hair?

Are you unintentionally damaging your hair without even knowing it? Avoid the following:

• Dry rubbing your hair with a towel. Yeah, I know that it’s obvious not to do that, but other people may have done this…. I know that I have. This will cause tremendous damage to your hair.
• Blow drying your hair – Heat will cause damage to your hair and needs to be avoided at all cost. Same with curling irons and straighteners. Try drying your hair by dabbing it gently with a towel or if you don’t want to do that, hold the blow dryer as far as you can. You could also let it dry naturally. This will take a little bit longer, but its worth it.
  
• Generally, it is better not to have your hair tied up, but if you can’t avoid it during the day, at least loosen up your hair as soon as you can and especially when you go to sleep. Also use a silk or satin type of pillow that will cause less friction while rolling around in your sleep.
• If you wear a hat, make sure that it is not so tight that it feels uncomfortable.
  

Tips:

• Cut the ends of your hair at least every two months to help make your hair grow faster. This will reduce further splitting and breaking.
  
• Make sure your pores are not clogged by thoroughly washing your hair with shampoo (make this a huge priority), since clogged pores will slow down hair growth. Avoid shampoos containing sulfates, alcohol and parabens (preserves shampoo).

3.) Exercise

When you exercise, you sweat. The sweat will clear blocked pores from your head, which is beneficial to grow hair faster. Exercising will also result in an increased blood flow and extra oxygen and nutrients delivered to your head, specifically the scalp. Try exercises such as cycling, a treadmill, yoga, dancing or any other exercise that you enjoy.

4.) Does Coconut Oil Make Your Hair Grow Faster?

Hmm… simple answer… yes, but indirectly. Coconut oil is one of nature’s wonder foods since it has so many uses. It can be also be used to reduce wrinkles, get rid of pimples, oil pulling, controlling and removing dandruff, helps to fade bruises, can heal a stye, and has all sorts of other beneficial uses.

Coconut oil mostly contains fatty acids.

It is highly beneficial to the body and can be used for cooking as well. The recommended coconut oil to use is cold pressed virgin coconut oil.

Coconut oil and any other home remedy you use (that actually works) to make your hair grow faster will work indirectly because it will keep your hair strong, in good condition and prevent the hair from splitting. Helps for bald men as well and can prevent hair loss.

Benefits of coconut oil:

Helps to grow hair faster by making it stronger and preserving the hair’s protein and nutrients. Also makes your hair shinier.

Method:

• Warm the coconut oil by rubbing it in your hands or place a little bit (as much as you need) into a cup and then put the cup in warm water. At room temperature it is normally solid or semi-solid, but it will easily melt in your hands.
• Rub the coconut oil onto your head and lightly massage the scalp for about 5-10 minutes. Then apply the coconut oil to the rest of your hair, but don’t overdo it. The easiest way is to leave it on overnight. Try it, and you should see some results within a few days to a week. Apply after washing and drying your hair.  Works for African American hair as well.

Tips:

• While sleeping, place a towel onto the pillow itself, otherwise your pillow will become greasy. You could also use an old pillow.
• If you find that your hair is too greasy after applying the coconut oil, then cut down on the amount applied to your hair.
• Use a little bit of baking soda in your shampoo to get rid of the grease from coconut oil when you wash your hair.
• The longer you leave it on the better. Try it daily and wash… try it for three days without washing.
• Try only putting oil on your split ends… experiment.
• You could also try other oils such as jojoba oil, olive oil which is very popular as well as castor oil which is very effective.

Side Effects:

If you have thin hair, it can make your hair fall out and this is something that you obviously want to avoid at all cost.

5.) Use Raw Egg, Honey and Olive Oil to Promote Hair Growth

Each of these ingredients have their own unique beneficial properties, and when mixed together, will provide a potent mix to make your hair stronger and healthier.

Mix 2 eggs, 2 or 3 parts honey (tablespoon) and 2 or 3 parts olive oil (tablespoon) together. If the amount you make is too much, then cut the ingredients in half. Wash your hair first, then apply to your damp hair. Apply it to your scalp (massage it a bit) and hair and leave for 1 hour… then wash and rinse your hair with lukewarm water.

Honey and eggs will make your hair sticky and hard and the smell of raw eggs is not very appealing… but, if you want to grow hair faster, you have to give it a try at least. You can use a shower cap or towel to cover your hair. Some people rave about this and and say that it makes their hair feel like that of a teenager or young girl.

Honey is also beneficial for removing zits and to get rid of blackheads.

6.) Horse Shampoo?

Well, it is used for horses, but can it help to grow hair faster? According to some people, yes, since horse shampoo makes the hair stronger and shinier and will also reduce hair loss. It will also make your hair longer and thicker.

It is safe to use, but you will have to try it for yourself to see if there are any side effects. It may dry out your hair, but if you use a good conditioner, it should help.

7.) Hmm… Use Bob Martin Tablets to Grow Hair Faster?

You betcha! This writer can attest to that.

Huh? Are you a lunatic? No, of course not.

Are Bob Martin tablets not used as vitamins for dogs? Yes, of course.

Is it safe? Well, I thought about not giving this recommendation due to the fact that many people will definitely not agree with me, however, the fact that it works for hair growth cannot be underestimated.

Personally, I did not notice any side effects, but some people have reported stomach cramps while others have complained about growing hair everywhere, so be careful. If you are bald, you will notice fine hair to start growing on your scalp.

If you cannot get hold of the tablets at your local store, try searching for it online. Start by drinking two tablets a day.

This is a quick and easy way to make your hair grow faster and although it does not taste well, you can easily swallow it by filling your mouth with water first, tilting your head upwards and then sort of throwing the tablets into your mouth while quickly swallowing it. Be careful that you don’t choke when doing this.

8.) Various Tips to Make Hair Grow Faster

• Potato water – Boil a few potatoes, take the water and let it cool down. Wash hair and rinse with the potato water. Potatoes contain a few beneficial ingredients for hair such as Vitamin B-6, B-12 and Vitamin C.
• Drink a lot of water… the normal recommended quantity of 8 glasses a day.
• Rinse your hair with cold water. There is some debate as to whether this works or not. The experts say no, other people say yes.

What not to Use for Your Hair (From Personal Experience)

Apple cider vinegar – Although some people tout the benefits of using apple cider vinegar to make your hair grow really faster, it can actually be very detrimental to you since it can make your scalp itch and burn… even when diluted. It will also make your scalp very dry and the itching and burning lasted for a month without any noticeable benefits.

Although apple cider vinegar is good for your overall health when you drink it, it is definitely not recommended for your hair.  Some guys use a mixture of two parts water and 1 part vinegar for their beards and hair, so it could probably work for you if you are a male, depending on the sensitivity of your skin and if you don’t have any side effects.

So, to grow hair faster, you will need make a few adjustments to your lifestyle. Concentrate on your diet, stress, exercise, the way you treat your hair and the various other methods that are available here. Hope this helps!
