Your Hair Growth Journey

We've all had a time when we've wished for longer hair.

Whether you’ve cut your hair and miss your long locks, or you’ve been dealing with hair loss and are ready to get onto a hair growth journey, it looks different for everyone.

In today’s blog, we’ll explore the different ways you can grow your hair, and how to plan your own hair growth journey.

 

Natural Hair Growth

On average our hair grows around six inches per year, however, according to the NHS, we also lose between 50-100 hairs a day without noticing.

While that may seem like a lot, as long as we’re taking care of our hair properly and promoting healthy hair growth we shouldn’t need to worry!

The way our hair grows is specific to each individual and depends on several factors, including: 

Genetics: Genetics play a big part in how quickly hair grows for each person.

Nutrition: Good nutrition is important for healthy hair growth and maintenance since hair is mostly made of protein. To encourage hair growth you can try eating more lean meats, fish, and low-fat dairy products.

Age: Hair grows the fastest between the ages of 15 and 30 and then slows down as we get older.

Hair Care: The way we care for our hair is crucial in promoting healthy, strong hair growth and using products that promote this is key.

Hormonal Changes: Changes in hormones can also affect hair growth.

 

How To Grow Your Hair

 

We see you googling ‘How do I grow my hair?’ and we’ve got you covered.

When it comes to actively trying to grow your hair, there are a few different things you can do, and when you bring them together you’ve got your very own hair growth plan.

 

Scalp massaging

Massaging your scalp is a great way to increase blood flow to the scalp. This helps to encourage healthy hair growth as well as overall hair health.

You can massage your scalp with your hands or use tools like our Scalp Exfoliating Brush.

Products for healthier hair

Curating your hair growth routine with products that nourish and strengthen your hair is key for continuous, healthy growth, as well as overall hair health.

Plus, using a good conditioner can help reduce hair breakages, meaning longer, healthier hair strands.

 

Formulated with nourishing ingredients, our Papaya & Manuka Honey Shampoo and Conditioner work to keep your hair at its healthiest whilst encouraging growth.

 

For ultimate hair growth, our Hair Growth Bundle is the go-to. Working together to give you thicker, fuller hair, the products in this bundle are gently yet effective, getting to work whilst keeping your hair’s health at the forefront.

Using hair growth supplements is another great way to encourage healthy hair growth from the inside out. Try looking for supplements with biotin, probiotics, or iron supplements.

 

Get regular trims

Now, we known that cutting your hair may seem counterintuitive to growing it, but trust us on this one. 

Getting a regular trim every 4-8 weeks helps to remove split ends, prevent damage, and stimulate growth.

Without dry, damaged ends your hair can continue to grow and thrive.

 

Stay hydrated

And of course, everything always comes back to hydration! 

Steering hydrated is crucial for so many reasons - it’s great for keeping our skin plump, is a way of caring for our bodies, and keeps our hair hydrated.

Hydrated hair means less breakage and dry, split ends and more moisturied, glossy locks.

Building a routine for hair growth really is that simple. It’s all about finding the right products and getting started.

Here’s to long, luscious locks!
