We’ve all been there: the season changes, you crave a new look that involves longer Haircut and before you know it, your hard-grown tresses have been chopped to the shoulder.
While you love the look for a while, one thing leads to another and you’re back to wishing for down-to-there hair.
But how can you prompt your hair to grow faster when you’re used to gaining length at a snail’s pace? Believe it or not, there’s a lot you can do to help grow out a haircut.
To get a better grasp on the strand-strengthening techniques, we sat down with Chelsey Pickthorn, NYC’s master colorist and owner of a namesake salon, Pickthorn, to discuss everything from switching up your hair care habits and products to examining the foods you eat, all of which, we learned, play a big role in how fast your hair grows.
Ready to fast-forward to your desired length? Follow the hair-growth tips below and you’ll be well on your way.
1. Change the Way You Brush Your Hair
Once upon a time, you may have thought one brush could solve all your hair care needs. Pickthorn advises otherwise when it comes to trying to grow out your hair.
When it comes to brushing damp hair, or wet hair, Pickthorn recommends using a Wet Brush, a staple in her Brooklyn-based salon.
As for when your hair is dry, “stimulate your scalp with a boar’s bristle brush, such as a Mason Pearson brush, to get blood flow to your follicles to promote growth.”
Whether you’re brushing wet or dry hair, one thing’s for sure, whatever you do, don’t tug. When you’re trying to grow out your hair (and, honestly, always), be as gentle as possible with your tresses.
2. Avoid Heat Styling
Hot tools, despite creating gorgeous hairstyles, are also known for causing serious damage. And, as you know, damage means trims and ultimately shorter hair.
