Hair growth is a concern for many people, and there are lots of products out there to promote healthy hair growth. But what are the most common mistakes, and what should you do to help your hair grow healthy? Here's what you need to know!

Why isn't my hair growing?

Hair growth can be slow or stall for several reasons. From poor eating habits and the lack of a hair care routine with the right products, to specific medical conditions.

Hair growth can also suffer if you use the wrong products for your hair type, or if your products don't have natural ingredients that protect and nourish your hair in a healthy way.

Some of the signs of problems with hair growth are:

• Poor nutrition
• Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Poor sleep
• Illnesses and specific conditions
• Using the wrong products

Which products promote hair growth?

While there are no magic products for hair growth, it's always a good idea to have a complete hair care routine that uses much more than shampoo and conditioner.

Include these products in your routine to promote hair growth:

• Cleansing Shampoo
• Hydrating Conditioner
• Hydrating styling cream
• Nourishing mask
• Essential oil for shine

Practical tips to promote hair growth

Besides using the right products to support hair growth, you can also follow these simple steps to help your hair grow healthy, shiny, silky and full of movement.

Eat a healthy diet

Diet plays a very important role in the health and look of our hair. Eating foods rich in vitamins and nutrients can help your hair grow more easily and change how it looks.

Include some of these foods in your diet, which promote healthy hair growth:

• Avocado
• Eggs
• Oranges
• Dairy
• Nuts
• Fish
• Seafood
• Olive oil
• Broccoli

Wash your hair only as often as needed

According to specialists, hair doesn't need to be washed every day, only when needed. Every hair type has different needs, and how often you wash will depend on your lifestyle and habits.

If your hair isn't oily, you can wash it as little as twice a week. If your hair is very oily, it's best to wash it 4 to 6 times a week.

How often you wash matters for healthier, more effective hair growth, without exposing your hair to too many products that can slow the process.

Don't sleep with wet or tied-up hair

Besides not being good for hair growth, sleeping with damp or tied-up hair can cause other problems, like:

• Headaches
• Trouble sleeping
• Hair loss
• Fungi or bacteria that irritate the scalp and cause dandruff
• Colds
• Weaker hair that breaks more easily.

If you wash your hair at night, dry it well with a microfiber towel and don't tie it up for bed. You can use a hair oil, which helps your hair get much more nourishment and hydration while you sleep, promoting hair growth.

Exfoliate your scalp regularly

Exfoliating your scalp is a good habit for promoting healthy hair growth. Just as you care for the skin on your face with masks and other products, your scalp also needs this kind of treatment to remove impurities and get nourished.

Hair masks are a helpful tool to support hair growth. They're a great addition to your care routine, hydrating your hair and nourishing it with ingredients that help it look shinier and make it easier to style, among other things.

Use a hair mask or scrub at least once a week. It removes excess sebum and dead cells, helps prevent dandruff and hydrates your hair, all essential for hair growth.

Trim your ends

If you want hair growth to happen more effectively and quickly, visit the salon often and trim your ends. This helps your hair grow stronger and healthier.

Trim your ends every 2 to 3 months to avoid broken, damaged hair.
