11 Top Tips for Tip Top Hair!

We know Hair loss affects at least 50% of men and around 25% of women by the age of 50 and it’s hard! Yes, we’re only talking aesthetics and there’s plenty of worse things in life but that doesn’t take away the natural, psychological impact of losing your hair - from emotional distress and anxiety through to a real drop in self-esteem and we’re here for you!

This means thinking beyond Grow Longer® ... yes our regime uses scientifically proven ingredients to fight hair loss and accelerate hair growth but there’s so many lifestyle changes you can also make to help fast track your hair growth plan...so let’s run through them together:

Be gentle when handling your hair! Over-scrubbing, excessive heat styling and harsh brushing (especially when wet and prone to breakage), can damage your hair over time

Care for your scalp: A clean, healthy scalp encourages hair growth so make sure to remove build up by cleansing regularly and massage to stimulate blood flow and hair follicles

Stay clean but not too clean! Everything requires balance - if you over-wash it can strip your hair of essential oils so be careful not to use too much shampoo or abrasive shampoos

Healthy diet: Hair growth is supported by nutrients like biotin, zinc, iron and vitamins A, C, D and E. Include foods rich in nutrients such as eggs, spinach, nuts and fish in your diet

Use the right hair products: Haircare is an investment! Use quality products and for hair growth certainly check they are clinically proven! Finally try not to over-product your hair which can cause damage

Trim regularly: Regular trims (every 8-12 weeks) prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft, helping to maintain hair health

Avoid stress: Stress can lead to hair thinning and loss. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga or exercise to manage stress levels

Hair styling: Avoid hairstyles that pull tightly on the hair such as high ponytails or braids as they can cause breakage. Use silk or satin pillowcases and hair accessories to minimise friction

Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water keeps your hair hydrated and supports overall health, promoting healthier growth

Limit heat and chemical treatments: Minimise the use of blow dryers, straighteners and chemical treatments like bleaching or perming which can weaken hair and cause damage

Don’t wear hats too often! Whilst tempting to throw on a hat and go, hats can pull hair at the route resulting in damage and occasionally hair loss so avoid making it a daily temptation
