Secrets of Hair Growth

The secret to having and keeping hair growth is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Moisture helps protect your hair from becoming dry and brittle and frizzy.

Pre-Washing

Pre-washing your hair gives it an extra boost of moisture to help protect your hair. Aside from store bought pre-wash conditioners, coconut oil is an effective pre-washer, and it can sometimes get rid of dandruff better than a dandruff shampoo. Pre-wash rich in jojoba oil and shea butter provide extra boosts of moisture and nourishment for weak, brittle dry hair.

Washing

Gently massage your hair and scalp with lukewarm tepid water. You don’t want to use water that’s too hot that’ll damage your hair. Use shampoo that contains essential moisturizers. Rinse thoroughly with water. Use clarifying shampoo every few weeks to get rid of pollutants and product residue.

Conditioning

After rinsing, apply conditioner throughout your hair and let it sit for about a minute. This lets the conditioner work its moisturizers into your hair. After a minute, rinse your hair thoroughly with water. Moisture helps strengthens your hair and maximizes its hair regrowth potential. You can also try leave-in conditioner that doesn’t need to be rinsed out, providing an extra dose of protection for your hair.

Drying

Let your hair air dry whenever you can. Air drying helps the moisture stay in your hair longer. Excessive heat from hair dryers can kill moisture and cause unnecessary damage to your hair and hair regeneration. Also never wring your hair. Twisting or stretching wet hair in particular causes damage to hair.

Post-wash Products

Protect the ends of your hair with a light moisturizer. The ends of your hair are the oldest part and needs extra protection. Moisture protection helps to reduce brittleness that causes air to easily break and split-ends.

Scalp Stimulation

Stimulating your scalp promotes more blood circulation. A good way to stimulate your scalp is to use a hard hairbrush with the plastic knobby balls at the end of the bristle. Run it through your hair and scalp for a hundred strokes a day. Aside from stimulating your scalp, you get a mini head massage as well!

As you can see, moisturizing is the secret to maintaining beautiful hair and allowing its maximum hair regrowth potential to come through. At every step of your hair care regimen, keep in mind how to retain the moisture in your hair at all times. The secret to having and keeping hair growth is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
