Many people believe that shampoos can accelerate hair growth, but this is a myth. In fact, specialized products that activate follicles and nourish the roots are important for stimulating growth, states Ukrainian trichologist Yulia Sedletska.
What you should know
According to trichologist Yulia Sedletska, girls often spend a lot of money on the desire to grow long hair. In particular, they buy shampoos for brittleness, restoration, or nourishing shampoos.
However, it is important to understand that shampoo is a scalp care product. Therefore, it only cleanses the scalp qualitatively.
Therefore, only masks, lotions, and serums for length can really help.
Do I need to cut my hair if I'm growing it out
The expert said that if you want to grow long curls, cutting your hair is a must. Cutting 1-2 cm eliminates split ends and other damage that ultimately leads to tangling of the strands, especially if you have curls or a hard texture.
It is optimal to cut the ends once every two months. You need to grow your hair in the same length - make an even cut (ideally with scissors). Avoid profiling your hair - it will split less.
Does scalp massage promote hair growth
Scalp massage helps to stimulate blood circulation, remove dead skin particles improve the functioning of the sebaceous glands, strengthen the roots, and accelerate hair growth.
Typically, cosmetic products such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, burdock oil, or castor oil are used to massage the scalp. They are saturated with essential vitamins and nutrients and are natural hair conditioners.
To massage the scalp with oil, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil to a comfortable temperature. Dip your fingertips into the oil and massage the skin in circular motions.
Then leave the oil on as a mask for 30 minutes and then rinse it off. You can perform such a head massage with oils 1-2 times a week to stimulate growth or once a week to prevent hair loss.
It should be added that scrubbing the scalp helps to cleanse the surface of the scalp from the accumulation of sebum and hair styling and care products. In addition, scrubbing and exfoliation with soft peels improves microcirculation, accelerating hair growth.
