5 easy hacks for long hair

Who does not love flaunting long hair? But not everyone is gifted when it comes to long and lustrous hair, but hey, that does not mean you can't increase the length of your hair! Often due to inadequate nourishment and damage, our natural hair growth is hindered, but some simple hacks can help you get enviable hair. Here's a look at some sure shot tips.
2/6

Trimming

Yes, you heard it right. Regular trimming of hair every eight to ten weeks ensures fast hair growth. Due to excessive dirt and sun, the ends of the hair usually get damaged and cause split ends. When you regularly trim your hair, those split ends get cut off, leaving your hair space to grow without any hurdle.
3/6

Conditioning

You might have noticed that often the ends of the hair are thinner and damaged when compared to the root ends connecting to the scalp. This is because the lower end doesn’t get nourished well. Conditioning after every hair wash helps seal the hair cuticle at the end and prevents the hair from further damage. This makes your hair healthier; and healthier hair grows faster.
4/6

Hot oil massage

A good hot oil massage can be a perfect stress buster for you. Massaging your hair with a good hot oil every week ensures that your hair is healthy and there are no more hair strands lying on your floor. Try using coconut, olive or lavender oil to bring that beautiful luster to your hair and help you hair grow better.
5/6

Brushing every night

You must have heard that excessive brushing can cause hair fall and physically harm your hair. Well, not always. It simply depends on the brush you use. Using a brush with synthetic bristles can create friction in hair and thus, actually damage hair. Instead, using the right brush such as the boar bristle brush can actually increase the blood circulation of the scalp. Make sure that you comb your hair before you retire for the night. Brushing the hair makes your roots stronger and hair grow faster.
6/6

Flipping your hair upside down

It might sound strange but flipping the hair upside down can actually do wonders when it comes to increasing the length of the hair. Nothing tedious, this tip just requires flipping your hair upside down for a few minutes daily. This induces better blood circulation and hair growth.
