You are born with all the hair follicles you’ll ever have; your head alone has about 100,000 follicles. As you age, some follicles stop producing hair, which causes baldness or hair thinning.

According to The American Academy of Dermatology Association, hair grows about six inches each year on average, but oftentimes that growth feels minimal — especially when most folks lose 50-100 hairs each day.


Check out these tips on how to make your hair grow faster:

Clean and stimulate the scalp

If you’re looking for hair growth, start at the source: the scalp. First off, an irritated scalp—caused by scalp tension, buildup, oxidative stress, and certain scalp conditions—can lead to hair loss or thinning.

The accumulation of free radicals over time contribute to the hair follicle closing off, thereby limiting growth and eventually leading to shedding.

Get frequent trims

It might sound counterproductive when you want your hair to grow longer, but regular trims get rid of dry, damaged split ends and are necessary for natural, healthy growth.

If left untreated, split ends can work their way up the shafts of your hair strands and cause even more breakage.

Keep your hair moisturized

The hair on your head is probably the driest thing on the body, and if you are trying to grow it longer, you need to keep it moisturized.

If your texture is naturally drier, it is even more essential to keep hair hydrated. Dry hair turns to brittle hair and brittle hair breaks.
