There are some unconventional methods that you can try to nourish your hair and to prevent damage. Taking vitamins Hair grows "" per month on an average. Taking supplements may speed up the normal growth rate to ¾" each month. You should first take a multivitamin that fulfills all the needs of the body. Then you can think of extra nutrition for hair. The useful elements for hair include B complex, zinc, iron, flax seed oil, black currant seed oil, kelp, silica, biotin, folic acid and pantothenic acid. You can also take an amino acids complex to be extra sure. Massaging the scalp Regular massaging of the scalp helps in getting stronger and thicker hair. It also helps the hair to grow faster. It stimulates the blood supply in the scalp. The blood provides nutrients to the follicles. Moreover, it also reduces stress. Massaging only for 5 minutes daily can give wonderful results. You need to be careful while massaging. Use the pads of your fingers, not the nails. Wearing your hair up You expose your hair to environmental damage when you wear it down. Wind and the dust particles in the air can damage your hair. Wearing up the hair will prevent such damage. You should try to wear your hair up at least half the time. Getting regular trims Regular trimming is necessary to keep the ends of hair soft, smooth and thick. The last couple of inches of hair become raggedy and thin if you do not trim them regularly. Trimming also keeps the shape of hair. As hair grows unevenly, any hairstyle can go from chic to shaggy after two or three months. You do not need to get a huge chop or remove all damaged hair at once. Small trims every 2-3 months are sufficient to keep the hair in shape. Simple techniques for healthy hair As tap water leaves mineral deposits on hair, it is better to use distilled water as the final rinse while washing hair.
