Simple Rules for Growing Healthy, Strong Hair and Avoiding Breakage

One of the most common hair complaints among women is “Why won’t my hair grow faster?” Long flowing locks are on everyone’s wish list, but ironically many women have hair habits which encourage dryness, breakage and inhibit hair growth.

healthy hair growth I like to compare growing your hair to growing a garden, and just as a thriving garden begins with healthy soil, strong hair begins with a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp is a clean scalp, free of debris. “Raking” out the debris using a massage brush will gently lift away dead skin. With the scalp facials I offer in my salon I massage, clean and stimulate the scalp, which in turn stimulates hair growth from the root. Growth from the root is half of the battle. Watering your garden is also important, and when it comes to the scalp this means specially formulated hair strengthening products; a great one being a product called Hair Support. These products are gently enough to use everyday and are certainly recommended for everyday use for at least one month prior to any application of hair extensions. Hair Support vitamins can be used daily, along with your regular vitamin regimen. In addition to Hair Support brand supplements, you can also go to your local health food store and inquire about supplements that encourage strong hair and nails, as they are both built with protein compounds and are a package deal.

The third component to growing a healthy “garden” is plenty of sunlight. Just like sun is essential for maximizing the growth of healthy flowers, a similar method applies for growing, healthy beautiful hair. I recommend Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for my clients as a means of achieving this “sunlight” effect. Laser therapy is used in the market today by doctors all over the world to boost teeth whitening, to correct vision and to improve the look and texture of skin. Many types of Low Level Laser Therapies are considered to be extremely effective and, consequently, have become integrated into many mainstream medical and aesthetic procedures. When used twice weekly on the scalp, LLLT machines deliver just the right amount of power to begin to reverse hair loss and create a healthier scalp environment, while maximizing the hair’s growth and fullness potential.

Another component to healthy hair growth is pampering the hair with proper maintenance, conditioning and avoiding the ravages of heated styling tools. Too many styling products along with over chemical processing can strip the hair of vital nutrients, fostering split ends and causing the hair to break (otherwise known as the “chemical haircut”). It is important to make sure that all of the progress you have made in creating a scalp fertile for hair growth does not go to waste on broken hair. You will lose inches that way.
