14 Ways to Help Your Hair Grow Faster and Stronger: Tips from Helena,

We’ve all been there—impatiently waiting for our hair to grow out or trying every new product on the market, only to see minimal results. Whether you’re looking to bounce back from a bad haircut, or trying to combat thinning hair, focusing on hair growth can be frustrating. But don’t worry—I’m here to help. As a Board Certified Drugless Practitioner, Trichologist, and Licensed Cosmetologist, I’ve compiled my favorite tried-and-true tips to help you grow your hair faster and stronger. Let’s get started!

1. Focus on Scalp Health

Healthy hair starts at the scalp! Regularly massaging your scalp stimulates blood flow, which can improve hair growth. Use a gentle scalp brush or your fingertips to give yourself a relaxing scalp massage a few times a week. Bonus tip: Try using a scalp scrub to remove dead skin and product buildup.

2. Use Gentle, Clean Products

Many hair products are filled with harsh chemicals that can damage your hair over time. Opt for clean, non-toxic, and sulfate-free formulas that won’t strip your hair’s natural oils. Our No.3 Restorative Hair Serum is perfect for strengthening and nourishing your strands without the harsh ingredients.

3. Don’t Skip Your Vitamins

Your hair needs proper nutrients to grow! Incorporating hair-boosting supplements, like our No.5 Hair Nutrition Vitamins, into your routine can provide your body with the nutrients it needs to support healthy, strong hair. Ingredients like biotin, niacin, and saw palmetto are essential for improving hair growth.

4. Minimize Heat Styling

We all love a good blowout, but excessive heat can cause breakage and slow down your hair’s growth cycle. Opt for heatless styling options or keep the heat settings low to minimize damage. When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant!

5. Regular Trims, Believe It or Not!

This might seem counterintuitive, but trimming your hair regularly helps it grow stronger. Regular trims prevent split ends from traveling up your hair shaft, keeping the rest of your hair healthy and less prone to breakage. Aim for a trim every 8–12 weeks.

6. Eat a Balanced Diet

Hair health starts from within! A diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein is key to promoting hair growth. Include foods like eggs, fish, leafy greens, and nuts, which contain biotin, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, D, and E—all of which help support healthy hair growth.

7. Avoid Tight Hairstyles

Pulling your hair too tightly into ponytails, buns, or braids can lead to breakage and even traction alopecia (hair loss due to pulling). Opt for looser hairstyles and use gentle, snag-free hair ties, like our Unveil No.9 Unsnagged Hair Ties to protect your strands.

8. Incorporate Essential Oils

Certain essential oils can stimulate hair growth by promoting circulation. Rosemary, peppermint, and tea tree oil are popular for boosting hair health. Mix a few drops with your carrier oil of choice and massage into your scalp for an added growth boost.

9. Stay Hydrated

Just like your skin, your hair needs moisture to thrive! Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your hair hydrated and strong from the inside out.

10. Try Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT is a clinically proven method to stimulate hair growth and reduce hair thinning. At Strut Hair Solutions, we offer in-studio treatments for those looking for an extra boost in their hair growth journey.

11. Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

Your nighttime routine is just as important as your daytime one. Use a silk or satin pillowcase, or wrap your hair in a silk scarf, to reduce friction that can cause breakage while you sleep.

12. Handle Your Hair with Care

When detangling, be gentle! Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the bottom, working your way up to avoid unnecessary breakage. You can also try detangling in the shower with a conditioner to make the process easier and less damaging.

13. Avoid Over-Washing

Over-washing strips your hair of its natural oils, which are essential for keeping your hair healthy. Depending on your hair type, aim to wash your hair 2–3 times a week. In between washes, dry shampoo can be your best friend!

14. Practice Stress Management

Stress is a known contributor to hair loss and poor hair health. Incorporating stress-relieving activities like meditation, yoga, or even a nightly wind-down routine can make a significant difference in your hair’s growth.

Your Hair Growth Journey Starts Today!

Following these tips consistently will help you see visible changes in your hair over time. Remember, there’s no magic trick to instant hair growth, but by nourishing your hair from the inside out and using the right products, you can achieve the hair of your dreams.
