How To Fix And Grow Damaged Hair?

1

Prepare protein rich foods. Stimulate hair growth with a healthy diet that consists of protein rich foods such as eggs, meat, fish and dairy. Incorporate other healthy choices such as vegetables, nuts and fruits to help enhance hair growth.

Increase blood circulation. Hair follicles respond to blood circulation. Massaging your scalp daily and exercising regularly increases blood circulation to your head and helps enhance hair growth. Begin an exercise routine and aim for three to five workouts a week.

Use the right products. Washing the hair is not enough to stimulate growth and repair damage. Apply a hair conditioner after each wash, and regularly visit a hair salon to receive deep conditioners to strengthen and stimulate hair follicles. Hair care professionals can also recommend other products or services to reverse thinning or breakage.

Give your hair a break. Daily use of heat products and chemical relaxers are common among women. Because heat and chemicals can hinder hair growth and cause breakage, choose styles that do not require daily flat ironing or curling, such as braids or updos. Stretching out the time between chemical relaxers and coloring can also improve your hair and may stimulate growth.

Replenish your body with vitamins. Take vitamin E, folate acid, biotin, beta-carotene, B-complex vitamins or flaxseed oil to help improve the quality of your hair and stimulate growth. Use supplements as directed. Consult a doctor if taking prescription medications.
