4 Rules For Growing Your Hair Long

We all want that long, shiny, healthy hair, right? I mean, who doesn’t want to live their Rapunzel fantasy? But before we go on this magical hair-growing journey, let’s take a second to think: are you actually helping your hair grow, or are you making things worse? Don’t worry, I got you. Here are some tips to make sure you’re setting your hair up for success.

1. Stop washing your hair every day, please. I know it feels wrong, but trust me. Experts say you only need to wash your hair twice a week. Overwashing can lead to breakage, dryness, and an angry scalp. No one wants that. If you’re trying to stretch out your hairstyle, dry shampoo is your best friend—just spray it on your roots to soak up all that oil and sweat, and boom, you’re good.
2. Ponytails, but make it chill. If your hair isn’t growing, it might be because you’re pulling it back too tight. I know sleek ponytails look great, but they can also cause breakage and, honestly, even hair loss. So, maybe go for a looser ponytail or a braid that doesn’t feel like it’s about to rip your hairline off. Your scalp will thank you.
3. Be gentle with your wet hair. Seriously, wet hair is super fragile. Like, baby-fragile. Never twist it up in a bun when it’s wet because it can stretch and snap. Instead, let it chill. Oh, and even when your hair is dry, always use soft, no-crease ties. The gentler, the better.
4. Treat your hair like it deserves. Don’t skimp on conditioning, people. Does regular conditioner help with split ends and leave-in treatments? A total game-changer. Give your hair that extra dose of moisture and protection.

So, there you have it. Time to get serious about that hair growth game. Rapunzel, we’re coming for your brand.
