Who doesn't want long and shiny hair? If you are tired of trying remedies to boost hair growth, then you must consider fixing these seven habits. These bad habits can slow down your hair growth. Tap to read!
Overwashing Your Hair
Washing your hair too often removes its natural oils. This can lead to dry hair and hair follicles that can become weaker over time. It results in slower hair growth.
Using Too Much Heat
Using heat for styling can damage the hair shaft. This leads to breakage within the hair and, at times, prevents healthy growth altogether.
Poor Scalp Care
Not taking care of your scalp can allow hair follicles to get clogged with oil and dead skin. This inhibits healthy hair growth and can even contribute to thinning or hair loss.
Not Having Enough Protein
Not getting enough protein in your diet can negatively affect the growth of your hair because hair is primarily formed from protein. It needs enough protein to flourish.
Tying Hair Too Tight
Continuously wearing your hair in a tight style can cause it to be under tension. Hence, it causes breakage and contributes to thinning or even traction alopecia.
Skipping Regular Trims
Not getting regular trims may seem like the best way to enable your hair to grow faster. But it is often the opposite, split ends will occur and inhibit growth.
Stress and Lack of Sleep
Persistent stress and irregular sleep can affect the cycle that accounts for hair growth. This can often cause your hair to thin, fall out, and inhibit hair regrowth.
