About two months ago, I cut two and a half inches off my hair. This seemed like a lot at the time, but since then my hair is actually longer than it was after my cut. Its grown like a weed since my trim, and thats because Ive been doing everything I can to really take care of my hair. My friends are always asking me how my hair grows so fast, and I guess its time to divulge some secrets.
Since Ive been using a lot of natural products in my skin care routine, I tried adding them into my hair care routine as well. I dont really shampoo anymore, and if I do, I use a natural shampoo without chemicals. Nature really is good for you, and things are going very well for me. If you want your hair to be super long, check out these easy tips for growing out your locks:
Don't Overwash
I know I say this all the time, but stop washing your hair so much. I'm serious! If you're someone who has greasy hair, you might take longer to adjust, but I promise after you're through the transition period, you'll be able to go a few days without washing. I wash my hair twice a week, and I don't even use shampoo anymore. My hair is healthier than ever, and I've noticed a lot of growth since I truly stopped overwashing my hair.

Deep Condition Regularly
Deep conditioning is a MUST if you want longer hair. Hydrated hair is happy hair, especially if you're working with curls. Using a deep conditioner at least once a week will keep your hair hydrated and healthy, which in turn will stimulate growth.

Stimulate Your Scalp
If you don't take care of your scalp, your hair is not going to grow. When you stimulate your scalp, it increases blood flow, which promotes hair growth. So next time you are washing your hair or if you're just hanging out in bed, give yourself a five minute scalp massage.

Beware Of Bad Igredients
Take a look at your hair products and see how many of them contain sulfates. A lot, right? Now, get rid of them. If you want your hair to grow faster, you need to stop putting damaging ingredients in it.

Chill Out On The Heat Styling
You know what heat styling does to your hair? It dries it out, damages it and causes breakage. Even if you're taking the proper precautions and using a heat protectant, you're still putting your hair through a lot any time you use heat on it. If you're looking to grow your hair out, drop the hot tools. Stick to air drying and no-heat styling methods.

Get It Trimmed
No, getting a trim does not make your hair grow. However, getting rid of split ends stops breakage. When you have split ends and your hair breaks off, you're losing any length that just came in off the top of your head. It's important to keep the ends of your hair healthy so that you're not losing hair due to breakage.

Take Some Biotin
Of course, you should always consult your doctor before taking any kind of supplement or vitamin. That said, biotin is something I cannot live without. I take biotin every day to stimulate hair growth, and as a bonus, it keeps my nails super strong and healthy. There are other hair supplements out there, but biotin is the only thing I've used that works.
