Source: Healthline.com - 10 Best Ways to Boost Hair Growth
1. Avoid restrictive dieting
According to Dr. Lindsey Bordone, a dermatologist at ColumbiaDoctors and assistant professor of dermatology at Columbia University Medical Center, we can’t control everything that affects our hair growth. But there are things we can avoid that may cause impaired growth and increased shedding.
“Restrictive dieting can decrease resources and nutrients needed for hair growth,” said Bordone.
“And since hair growth is a relatively low priority compared to other bodily functions, hair growth is halted quickly when your body is placed under stress due to restrictive dieting,” she explained.
“Even after resuming a healthy diet, hair shedding usually goes on for a period of months,” said Bordone.
2. Check your protein intake
3. Try caffeine-infused products
4. Explore essential oils
5. Boost your nutrient profile
6. Indulge in a scalp massage
7. Look into platelet-rich plasma treatment (PRP)
8. Hold the heat
9. Talk to your doctor about minoxidil
10. Go easy on coloring your hair
