On growing my hair long….

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on November 21, 2008 by hisprecious1

So, i’ve been trying to grow my hair long, for Master. It’s not quite to my bra strap, but that’s where it’s headed; that’s my goal. I have maybe 1 or 1 1/2 inches to go (unless i HAVE to get a trim).  I’m trying to wait until first of the year to get a good trim. We’ll see. I found some tips on healthy hair and throught i’d share them:

In addition to making lifestyle changes, taking the following supplements every day can boost hair growth for many people:

  • Vitamin B-complex – 50 mg. of the major B-vitamins (including folate, biotin and inositol)
  • Vitamin B-6 – 50 mg. of vitamin B-6
  • Vitamin C with bioflavonoids – one to two grams daily
  • Vitamin E – 400 to 800 IU daily
  • Beta-Carotene – 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene daily
  • One recommended daily dose of magnesium, sulfur, zinc and biotin
  • Silica (horsetail) – 300 mg. daily
  • Nettle – 250 mg. three times daily
  • Flaxseed oil -  one tbsp daily or one tablet
  • Beta-Carotene – 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene daily

Here are some other hair growing tips:

  1. Eliminate or cut back on smoking, caffeine and carbonated sodas which weaken the body and block maximum hair growing potential.
  2. Eat a healthy diet.  Avoid foods that are high in sugar or fat.
  3. Treat your hair like a piece of fine old lace.  Treat it carefully avoiding any unnecessary brushing, combing or handling.
  4. Avoid use of hot water, hot blow dryers or other hair care tools that may stress the hair.
  5. Have a weekly scalp massage to provide stimulation to the hair follicles.
  6. Do a series of ongoing hot oil treatments to protect the hair’s shaft.
  7. Have regular trims to eliminate split ends and allow the hair to look and feel healthier.
  8. Get plenty of rest and sleep to allow your body to grow hair.

Happy growing!
