The secret to gorgeous hair is a combination of nourishing your body on the inside and nurturing your hair on the outside.

Try these personally tried and true tips for lustrous locks.

  • Eat.

    A healthy diet rich in foods that contain Omega - 3 fatty acids + iron + zinc + selenium + biotin + Vitamin C and protein are vital in providing your hair the nutrients needed for its growth.

  • Cleanse.

    Gently and only when necessary. A healthy + balanced scalp is vital for strong + long hair. If you have dry hair, be mindful of over washing. If your hair is prone to oiliness try washing it two to three times weekly.

  • Brush.

    Show your hair some TLC by bushing it regularly + gently to prevent tangles and breakage. Try using a wide toothed comb or a brush with soft boar bristles. Be sure to start at the ends and work your way to your roots to prevent unnecessary tugging that can hinder hair growth.

  • Trim.

    The ends of your hair at least every 4 months. This may seem counterintuitive if your trying to build length but trust me its not. Dusting your ends gives way for healthy hair to grow.

  • Heat.

    Is your enemy. Try to avoid excessive use of hot styling tools while you’re on your journey to boosting hair growth. If using hot styling tools is a must, try lowering the temperature and use heat protecting spray to prevent further damage.

  • Style.

    Avoid wearing tight ponytails and hairstyles that pull on the hair shaft. The constant pulling force of a tight hairstyle cause the hair to break that can lead to hair thinning and even hair loss. Instead try soft loose braids or a low messy bun. Try a silk scrunchie to secure your hairstyle too.
