6 Tips To Get Long Hair

Long hair doesn't come over night. It takes work, patience, and dedication to grow long hair that is also healthy. It's all about preventing damage to the hair shaft. If there is damage, your hair will not grow. Here are some tips for people who have a hard time growing their hair long.

Be gentle on wet hair. Hair is most vulnerable when wet. It's easy to tug and pull on stubborn knots after you wash your hair, but this will damage your hair. Instead, you should be patient with knots and if you have to, use a detangler.

Wash sparingly. Washing your hair dries it out and can leave it vulnerable to breakage. Try to cut down on washing if you can. Use only conditioner. Sometimes this is enough to get the surface dirt off of your hair.

Apply coconut oil. Coconut oil is the only oil that can penetrate your hair shaft, so it should be your number one choice when it comes to deep conditioning. It gives you the deepest condition possible. Apply coconut oil to your hair every so often to help strengthen it.

Hair, skin, nail vitamins. These really do help strengthen your hair. Give it a try if you are skeptical. It will make you a believer.

Stop damage in it's tracks. Even if you are doing everything possible to prevent damage, it may still occur. Get some hair cutting scissors and sit in a well-lit room. Clip off the split ends individually. This allows for you to avoid getting a trim, but also get rid of the damaged hair.

Tea for your hair. Dip the ends of your hair in catnip tea. It sounds weird, but it mends them right up. Those who want a golden yellow glow for their hair may try chamomile tea as a conditioner.
