Hair Growth Remedies—Fact Or Fiction? - By: Brynna Bradley

Wouldn't it be great if you could have ear length hair one day and then hair
down your back the next? Well, you can if you buy hair extensions. But, what
if you want to try and grow your hair out naturally what options do you
have?

Well , there certainly are a ton of myths circulation out there on ways that
anyone can increase their hair growth rate such as:

Brushing hair 100 times a day- In reality that much manipulation will cause
your hair to fall out due to the excessive pulling, so do your hair a favor
and put the brush down.

Clipping the ends- While trimming does enhance the overall appearance of the
hair; ultimately the hairs are dead from the moment they are pushed out of
the hair follicles. Therefore trimming has no effect on growth, but it does
provide preventative maintenance. Getting regular trims can stop split ends
from traveling up the hair shaft, which will ultimately ruin your hair. So,
if you been cutting your hair hoping that it will grow, unfortunately this
along won't help you.

Washing hair daily promotes growth- Clean hair is healthy hair right? Well yes and no,
different hair types require different methods of attack . Is your oily
hair? If so, then you will need to shampoo your hair often. But, if your
hair is dry or curly chances are you don't need daily washings, as the
chemicals in most shampoos will only further dry out your hair leading to
breakage. Instead of daily washing opt for conditioner washing instead, by
substituting the shampoo for conditioner. Not only will your hair get clean,
but it will also be infused with moisture.

Taking prenatal vitamins speed up hair growth- I'm sure you've heard this
many times before, the truth is that when a woman is pregnant her body goes
into preservation mode. During this time the hair does not shed, so this
makes it appear that the hair is growing faster, when in actuality the shed
hair is not being released. Once the baby is delivered many women experience
extreme hair loss, because the body is now releasing everything that it has
been preserving for all those months. ( So the growth is not contributed to
the prenatal vitamins.)

Genetics determine how long your hair grows- False, what if you come from a
family that is not fully experiencing their true growth potential due to bad
hair choices? If your family members are frying and dying their hair with
harsh chemicals and styling tools, then there is no way that you will be
able to determine how long your hair can possibly grow. The exception to
this is extremely long hair (ankle length) as genetics does play a role in
being able to grow hair that is extremely long.

Hair that is dirty grows faster- I have no idea who came up with this one,
but this is absolutely absurd. Your scalp and hair both require moisture and
proper cleansing. If your scalp is bombarded with dirt it will clog the
follicles which can stop hair growth and possibly cause balding, so keeping
it clean is essential.

There are many ways that anyone can speed up their hair growth rate, but
unfortunately none of those methods are going to work overnight. Like with
anything in life, it takes time and persistent effort to see results,
patience is the key along with proper maintenance.
