Whether you’re balding and want to put a stop to it, or if you’re simply seeing thinner hair and want to restore your hair’s youthful gloss, thickness and volume, try these daily habits. Done every day, their health benefits build up over time. The cumulative results is an envious, bouncy mane of hair.
1. Cut Your Hair
Okay, that may sound counterintuitive, but a pair of scissors could be the tool for longer, faster-growing hair. One common mistake that men and women make is not cutting their hair in the hopes that their hair will get longer. Unfortunately, never getting a trim can lead to split ends higher up on your hair. The end result is that your hair will actually break off shorter and shorter over time. Aim to cut your hair with a basic trim at least once every three months. This little trim can keep your hard-earned growth from breakage.
2. Use Only Sulfate-Free Products
Sulfates are found in many hair products, from shampoos to conditioners to hair treatments. Look for sulfate-free hair care products. They are often much gentler than mainstream sulfate-containing hair products. This keeps your hair more moisturized and less brittle, which can help your hair get longer and stay healthier longer. Plus, it can avoid the scalp irritation that may contribute to thinning hair and baldness.
3. Get a Massage
But not a massage for your back. Instead, get a scalp-stimulating massage. There are tools you can buy that basically scratches and massages your scalp, but a simple finger massage using gentle pressure can get the job done too. Regularly massaging your scalp improves blood flow to your hair follicles, ensuring all the nutrients and oxygen your hair needs gets delivered.
Make these three habits a part of your daily life and you’ll see less thinning and faster growing, thick hair soon!
