How to Grow Your Hair Faster: My Awesome Tips

A lot of people are jealous of my long blonde hair. 

So they ask, “How did you grow them?” 🤔

Trust me, they don’t know how much effort it takes to wash and brush them! 😀

Sure, I love how my hair makes me look, but maintaining it? That’s a whole different story—it feels like a marathon.

Still, cutting it short isn’t an option (I’d look like a potato🥔). 

✨ So, I’ve learned to embrace the work, and I’m here to share my ultimate tips on how to grow your hair faster and keep it beautiful. ✨

1. Wash Less Often

So here’s the thing.

Since the shampooing, conditioner, and brushing altogether during my shower takes around 10 minutes, I don’t have time to do it every day. 🙁

Also, washing your hair every day can strip it of natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to breakage.

I am too lazy to wash them so often; who wants to spend hours in the shower every day? 🤔

So I am washing my hair every second day. 💖

Sometimes when I don’t go to work or have a few days off, I am even trying to wash my hair every 3rd day.

Avoid overwashing your hair, as it can result in oily roots and brittle ends. 💡

Bonus?

It saves time!

2. Wash Your Hair the Right Way

Did you know you might be washing your hair wrong? 

• So this is something I learnt only a few years ago: when washing your hair, apply shampoo only to your roots and massage your scalp gently. 💁‍♀️

• Let the shampoo rinse down the rest of your hair as you wash it out—no need to scrub the ends directly. 

• Follow up by applying conditioner only to the ends. 😍

• Use your brush to spread the conditioner evenly, and rinse well with water. 

• Don’t use super hot water; hair likes when it is a bit colder.

This method keeps your hair shiny and reduces oil buildup on your scalp. ✨

3. Dry Naturally; Don’t Overheat 

I know that we don’t always have time to let our hair dry naturally because we’re in a hurry to get to work, etc.

• But if you want long, healthy, shiny hair like me, believe me, reducing heat damage is key to healthy hair. 💁‍♀️

• Limit the use of hair straighteners and dryers.

⭐ When you have time, let your hair dry naturally. ⭐

They will love it! 💖

I also recommend investing in a good hair dryer with adjustable heat settings.

I got as a gift a Dyson hairdryer, which is normally expensive, but I am totally in love and recommend it! 

Here is the link for the Dyson I am using. 💖

It has also an option to curly your hair to make beautiful waves.

4. Add Collagen to Your Routine

⭐ If you are in your 20s or 30s, it’s time, my dear, to start taking collagen supplements every day! ⭐

Collagen strengthens your hair, nails, and skin from the inside out. 💁‍♀️

Collagen has made my hair stronger and longer, so for the past two years I have been drinking a mixture of mine with magnesium and vitamin C before bed. 

Just mix it with cold water or your favorite drink and enjoy!

Some people add collagen to their morning coffee! ☕

Seriously, I have never tried it that way because I adore my morning coffee and would never risk ruining its flavor with collagen! 😀

5. Use the Right Hairbrush

Think of your hair like delicate silk—handle it gently! 💁‍♀️

If you apply such a mindset, you will remember to brush your hair with care and slowly. 

This will help you have your hair less damaged and broken.

I use a brush recommended by my hairdresser which detangles without pulling or breaking my hair. 💖

I also use this brush while washing my hair to distribute conditioner evenly.

Here is the link for the brush! 🙂

After the shower, when your hair is wet, start brushing at the ends and work your way up to avoid damaging your strands. 

6. Massage Your Scalp

I know this might sound silly. How the hell will massage help my hair grow long and healthy? 🤔

But it works! 💡

Scalp massage improves blood flow to your hair follicles, delivering the nutrients and oxygen they need to thrive so your hair will grow faster. 

Plus, it’s so relaxing! 😀

I typically neglect to massage or am unable to find the time to do so.

However, I encourage you to try it while watching your preferred series—you will be grateful for the experience. 💁‍♀️

Put your fingers in your scalp and do movements up and down.

7. Treat Your Hair to Weekly Masks

A good hair mask can work wonders. 🌞

Choose one suited to your hair type and apply it once a week for deep hydration. 

Remember, less is more when it comes to hair products—keep your routine simple.

Remember that also a good diet helps from inside to keep your hair growing, but if you use my tips and tricks, that’s going to speed up the process. 🙂

Overall Tips on How to Grow Your Hair Faster:

Less means more

• Less heat = happier hair.
• Less product = healthier hair.

Maintain Blonde Hair with Fanola No Yellow Shampoo

For my fellow blondes: Fanola No Yellow is a lifesaver! 💖

I am adding a link for shampoo plus Anti-Yellow Hair Mask 🙂

This purple shampoo effectively neutralizes brassy tones. 🌞

• Use it once a week, leave it on for five minutes, and rinse thoroughly. 

• It makes hair a bit dryer; thus, don’t use it more often than once a week, and remember to put on a mask or conditioner after to hydrate your hair.

• A word of caution: wear gloves to avoid purple-stained hands and nails!

Avoid Touching Your Hair Too Much

Constantly touching your hair makes it greasy faster. 🙁

After washing, braid it to keep it neat and fresh for longer. 💡

If I do braid, I can even survive 3 days without washing my hair! ✨

It’s because I am not touching them a lot while they are all pulled and nicely formed. 

Braids also help protect your hair from damage and tangles. 💖
