I have very fine, thin hair. I feel like I am always stuck with the same hairstyle because I don’t have enough hair to do different styles. Although I am limited on styles, I have found these things to help my hair grow.

Apply warmed coconut oil or conditioner your hair. Massage your scalp with the tips of your fingers in a circular motion for about five minutes. Rinse and blow dry. Because my hair is so thin and fine, I always use mousse in my hair for added volume. You can try gel but it doesn’t work very well in my hair.

Eat a healthy diet. Make sure you are getting vital vitamins and minerals along with eating plenty of protein. Also eat foods high in vitamin A, B, C and E, iron, magnesium, copper and selenium. Include a good mix and variety of foods. Our bodies need vitamins to come from food and not just supplements. It is important to drink milk and eat cheese, yogurt, eggs, peppers, avocado, fish, beans, fruits and as many veggies as possible. You can also enjoy fueling your body with fruit and vegetable juices. The list can go on and on. Get creative you would be surprised what you come up with.

I flip my hair upside down for a couple minutes a day to allow blood flow to improve circulation which is suppose to help hair growth. I also blow dry my hair upside down for that extra volume. Blow drying hair upside down doesn’t make it grow any faster but it does give it a lot of extra volume.

Try to stay stress-free if possible. I know, easier said than done right? From what I have read in many different articles and have heard from my daughter who is a cosmetologist, is that stress disrupts the normal hair cycle and sends hairs to enter what is the called the fall-out-stage. Get plenty or sleep, spend time with nature and God to keep stress away.

I haven’t tried this yet, but it’s next on my list. My friend told me that she uses aloe vera to help her hair grow. Yep! Just apply dress aloe vera gel mixed with lemon juice and leave on your hair for about twenty minutes. Shampoo as normal to remove aloe vera from hair. You can use aloe vera once a week.

If your hair is not growing or thinning, please speak with your doctor about it. There are some medical conditions and factors or medications that can play a role in hair loss and thinning. It never hurts to be sure that there is not a medical problem causing concern.

Please feel free to tell me your tricks to hair growth. I am always looking for fun, new ideas. Now go pamper yourself!
