#Nutrition to stimulate hair growth
A balanced diet rich in necessary nutrients, minerals and vitamins always affects this speed. If you want to promote hair growth, you need more proteins, keratin and copper take in. Foods such as nuts, meat, fish and eggs as well as dairy products play a key role here. Vitamin B5 deficiency can have a negative impact on hair condition and growth. In order for your hair to grow full of volume and shine, you should definitely not allow a vitamin B5 deficiency. So, eat rice, avocado, asparagus and wheat more often!
The Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, as well as caffeine also play a leading role in rapid and even hair growth. According to a study by the “National Center for Biotechnology” in the USA, regular consumption of such fatty acids promotes hair growth and slows hair loss. Foods like flax seeds, chia seeds, nuts, seaweed, avocados and salmon are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and should be part of your diet if you want to stimulate hair growth.

What caffeine As far as it is concerned, you certainly know well what effect it has on the body. In this case, we don’t mean that you should rinse your hair with coffee every day. Find a shampoo with caffeine in the market. The substance stimulates the follicles and requires the growth phase. This means the hair grows faster and is stronger.
#Haircare for faster hair growth
How often you wash your hair, what shampoos, masks and oils you use, whether you dye your hair or not, whether you dry your hair with a hairdryer or air dry – all this affects its health and condition. Always choose care products carefully and avoid making any compromises. Hair products that don’t meet your needs can be harmful! Using unsuitable shampoos or hair masks often leads to itchy and dry scalp, dandruff and even hair loss. To avoid this, you should consult a specialist such as your hairdresser or a dermatologist.
All of these tips are also valid for men!

In addition to using different hair care products and proper nutrition, you can stimulate growth with massages. Massaging the scalp and hair roots regularly will stimulate the follicles and enter a growth phase. You can either do this massage with your fingers or use a scalp massage brush. Such a massage has a relaxing effect and stimulates blood circulation in the scalp. But you shouldn’t be too aggressive: just massage in circular movements for a few minutes.

#Dry your hair without heat
The high temperature that the straightener and hairdryer uses has a damaging effect on the hair and makes it brittle. This also slows down its growth and can lead to chronic scalp problems. To avoid harm, you should minimize the use of such devices. It’s better to let your hair air dry. Although this takes longer and can lead to colds in winter, it is gentle on the hair and does not slow down hair growth.
