How to Make Short Hair Grow More Quickly

Healthy long hair takes time to achieve. Growing out hair from a short haircut can take patience, dedication and knowledge of proper hair care. Do not over-process your hair by dying it or using chemicals on it while you are trying to grow out hair. This could damage your locks and cause breakage or split ends. Treat your hair with kindness as it grows, and your head of hair will look healthy no matter how long it gets.

Instructions

• 1

  Get your hair trimmed every four to six weeks by a hair dresser who knows that you are growing out your hair. The hair dresser will accommodate you by removing only a small amount of hair. She can work with you as your hair grows by shaping your hairstyle to best suite your face and hair type at that specific time.

• 2

  Stop blow drying your hair daily to prevent heat damage. If you must dry it, use a low setting to keep it looking healthy.

• 3

  Use a comb to work out tangles. This works best on wet hair. A leave-in conditioner or a spray detangler product can help to get rid of your tangles.

• 4

  Pick out hair accessories that will not harm or damage your hair. They should be cloth-covered and not made of metal. Plastic hair elastics can pull hair and break, causing damage to your hair.

• 5

  Take vitamin supplements to assist in hair growth. Vitamins can keep your body healthy and that includes your hair. According to The Vitamins and Nutrition Center website, vitamin B complex, vitamin B-6, beta carotene, vitamin C with bioflavonoids and vitamin E are all vitamins that will help your hair.

  Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins and proteins to help your hair grow out faster. Hair holds a lot of protein and good protein will help create healthy hair. According to the Foods that Promote Hair Growth website, liver, eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese are all high in protein. The same website states that foods such as nuts and seeds are packed with good oils, and dark leafy greens such as spinach and kale help raise your iron, which will help hair grow out.
