Whether you’re growing-out a shorter styler or you’ve always longed for length, it’s one of the questions we hear most from our clients at Sudbury & Colchester.

How do I make my hair grow quicker?

Whilst sadly luscious, long locks can’t be gained overnight, with a little dedication and consistency, those extra inches will soon be yours. Check out our five tried and tested tips below:

1.Haircuts Help

It may sound counterproductive, but if you want long hair, you need to get regular trims to remove split ends every 6 – 8 weeks. This is key as split ends can lead to your hair losing length — not to mention shine, volume and smoothness. Click to arrange your next appointment. 

2. Feed Your Follicles

To accelerate hair growth, you need to ‘feed’ the hair from the inside. Along with a varied diet rich in fruit and vegetables, tuck into eggs, fish, beans and nuts to increase your protein intake.

3. Support Your Scalp

Think of your hair just like a tree. Similar to a tree, if the soil and roots aren’t taken care of, the tree can’t grow tall and strong. Massage your scalp for three minutes every day to speed-up growth. You can even add a scalp treatment for extra TLC.

4. Stop Shampooing

Regular brushing is a great way to distribute your hair’s natural oils so it stays moisturised. Starting at the scalp, use a boar bristle brush to distribute your scalp’s oils. Hair will stay hydrated, maximising growth.
