How to make your hair grow faster. My secrets

November 7th, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

Everyone talks about massage but did you know there is a right and wrong way to massage your hair, and actually your body but we will concentrate on getting your hair to grow so hair massage is a major issue we must tackle as it is so very important. The right massage not only stimulates growth but can actually even increase the strength of your hair follicles. The wrong massage can actually break your hair, cause no effect from the massage (other than it feels good), and definitely not help you reach your goals. What is the purpose of a good scalp massage? The scalp becomes ‘tightened’ as we encounter stress, etc. therefore creating a loss of circulation which is necessary for good growth. The wrong massage vigorously rubs your scalp AND your hair either by hand or using a tool of sorts, ruffling the hair as the massage proceeds.

The right massage is done using just your fingertips by applying a goodly pressure, keeping the hair from moving but only moving the scalp against the underneath body tissue. The outer skin moves over the inner tissue ONLY. You may need to practice this a little bit in the beginning to understand the principle.

You will notice that when moving your finger tips in this manner, areas of your scalp don’t seem to want to move. They may seem to not move at all but move to different areas of your head and also notice that different areas act different from each other. Don’t become impatient and begin moving the hair as you would in a surface massage. This is a NO-NO. You break hair when you do this. When the scalp seems to not want to move, this is an indication your scalp is STARVING for circulation and needs your attention desperately. So, concentrate diligently on those areas the most and if you can, do this at least 2 times a day for about 1/2 hour. You will find the more you deep massage your scalp, the looser the scalp will become which means of course, the more movement you will be able to obtain using your finger tips. You are causing the blood to move more freely in your scalp and the roots are now getting the circulation it was starving for.

Another big culprit of breaking your hair is combing it. I would tend to just about bet no-one has shared this information with you before as the average person is not told that there is a right way and wrong way to take care of your hair. I always thought it didn’t matter but it really does. As a little girl, with baby fine dry hair, my hair was snarled all of the time. Since I cried every time it was combed, it was cut and I really wanted long hair. It was below my waist when it was cut and kept short. I wish someone had known what I am about to tell you. NEVER use a comb on your hair in the first place unless it is an extreme situation which we will also discuss here. So what do we do?

Do not comb your hair wet. Do not blow dry your hair as it will dry out. Air dry your hair just as much as possible. Heat dries out your hair. Look at how the summer sun can wither things when left in it. When your hair is dry, using your fingers, gently pull your fingers through your hair as if your fingers are a comb but when your fingers get stuck (run into a snarl), gently take both hands and slowly in the middle of this snarl, pull it apart doing just a little bit at a time. In other words, never pull tightly but when it feels it is tightening, go at it from a different direction. This is not as time consuming as it sounds. It definitely eliminates stress on the follicles creating less breakage and when you are done combing your hair with your fingers, you will have no snarls. I cannot say why this works so good other than our body seems to produce oils through our fingers and they seem to naturally remove the snarls rather than forcing the removal of them.

Once the snarls are removed, brush your hair with a very fine ‘horse hair’ brush. Do not worry if it doesn’t go all the way through to the scalp. It isn’t supposed to. Just move your hair so you can cover all of it with your brushing. You stimulate your scalp with your fingertips and not your brush.

Once your snarls are removed, you have completed your massage, and you have brushed your hair, use a natural hair extension so that you do not need to ADD anything whatsoever to your hair to create any damage, i.e.; leave in conditioners, hair spray, any type of additives, no clips, just your natural hair extensions and you will see your hair become healthy and robustly grow. HAPPY hair growth.

SECRET Tricks & Tips for Growing Healthy, Thicker Hair

November 6th, 2009 hair extensions pro No comments

First you need a natural hair extensions. Why? Will show you why herein. Make sure you have the right one for you and one that has no clips, glues or things that can further damage your hair. Be Careful.

Hair can be thin and baby fine at birth and naturally appear un-healthy. Not only do we encounter stress, lack of proper nutrients, bad lifestyle habits but hair naturally breaks and re-grows so we need to increase the strength of the hair follicle plus encourage our body to grow new hair.

First our care of our hair is a primary issue. Treat your hair like you WANT it to grow. This is why a natural hair extensions can help us with this. Why shampoo your hair every day and strip it of its natural lubricants? Yes, I know. It looks dirty, right? So, a natural hair extensions can cover up most of your own hair. Instead shampoo your own hair every 3 to 5 days. In fact if your scalp is dry, you might want to go longer. You will find this amazing and notice a definite thickening of the follicle. Research shampoos and conditions and find ones that encourage growth with no breakage. You might even try to contact a ‘hair growth’ clinic to ensure you get the quality you need. Stay away from cheapies. Treat your hair like it is fragile when you shampoo and condition it. Be gentle and use proper massage techniques

Give your hair a ‘rest’. When you are sick, you go to bed so your body can heal itself. Your hair is obviously not healthy so it is sick and needs it’s rest for a time. Again, treat your hair like it is fragile. There are proper massages, proper combings and even other tricks to implement to enhance your good care of your hair. Using natural hair extensions will allow you to give your own hair the rest it needs so it can become healthy again.

Stress and bad lifestyle habits might be things you cannot or dont want to change but you can still grow healthy hair. It just might take a little longer. Using the tips herein will still benefit your hair.

Nutrients are another major factor impacting our hair health. Our lives are so busy there is just no way to eat properly or to take massive amounts of herbs, vitamins, etc. so keep this simple. We can use Vitamin E which is for our skin, hair and nails. A decent amount of 1,000 mg a day should be enough. The other major vitamin is an un-tested theory that has worked well for alot of people and that is a prenatal vitamin. Vitamins that are coated are poorly processed by the body as the acid in the stomach has to firstly dissolve the coating which, by this time, the body is disposing of the vitamin leaving it without the desired affect of the vitamin. Prenatal vitamins usually are not coated and contain extra amino acids which are for hair, skin and nails. I have been told that we cannot overdose on vitamins so they should not hurt us as our body will just simply eliminate the excess. Yes, men too have successfully taken these as it appears there is nowhere else you can get all the ingredients in a prenatal vitamin in one place.

Drink at least one bottle of bottled water per day. Your body needs water for growth and health. If you can handle 3 or a day, that is even better but make sure it is at least one.
