Boost Hair Growth

Make Your Hair Grow Faster and Stronger
Top Tips From Michelle Marshall Hair Salons in Rhiwbina and Central Cardiff

If you’re worried about fine or lank hair, or simply wish your hair would grow longer, it can feel very frustrating.  Hair tends to grow between 0.5 and 1.7 centimetres per month, which can feel pretty slow while you’re waiting for it to happen!  Meanwhile, it’s normal to shed between 50 and 100 individual strands of hair per day, which can compound the problem.

So what can you do to boost your hair’s growth and make it stronger?

Eat A Healthy Diet

There are lots of good reasons to eat a healthy diet full of fruit, vegetables and protein, and healthy hair is just one of them.

To promote hair growth you need to feed it from the inside out.  Amongst the best foods to promote hair growth are fish, beans, nuts and whole grains. 

Steer clear of harsh, unbalanced diets such as “cleanses” as this can deprive your body of important nutrients, resulting in lack lustre hair growth.

Consider Adding A Hair Growth Supplement To Your Routine

At Michelle Marshall Salons we recommend GLOWWA.   Recommended in Vogue amongst other magazines, GLOWWA Hair Food supplements provide daily nutritional support for longer, healthier hair growth. 

They contain a natural blend of  hair specific ingredients to improve strength, condition and shine.   The supplements contain Biotin, B12, Zinc, L-Lysine, MSM, Niacin, B5, B6, Vitamin C and Coconut Water and are proven to offer outstanding results in as little as 12 weeks.

Not only do they promote healthy hair growth and reduced shedding, but they also support glowing skin and stronger nails.

Keep Your Shower Cool and Shampoo Less Frequently

Avoid washing your hair every day if possible.  By only shampooing it 2 or 3 times a week the hair’s natural oils have an opportunity to penetrate the hair, hydrating and repairing it.

We recommend using a deep conditioner which will make it easier to detangle your hair (ideally detangle it before you wash it as wet hair is prone to damage).  Make the final rinse a cold one too as this helps to close the hair cuticles, locking moisture inside.

Choose a Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner

If you want to grow your hair and reduce hair breakage, we recommend using Redken Extreme Length Shampoo and Conditioner.

Redken’s tests have shown that it can boost growth by up to 6 inches with 81% less breakage compared to using a non-conditioning shampoo.  New Extreme Length with Biotin is a length strengthening haircare system that fortifies hair and reduces breakage to help you achieve their maximum hair length. 

 The products contain Biotin, Castor Oil and Soy Protein.

Use A Heat Protector Product

Excessive heat styling puts great pressure on your hair, risking damage, breakage and frizz. 

If you want to heat style your hair turn down your styling tools to the lowest setting and always use a heat protection spray.  We recommend Redken Extreme Play Safe which protects your hair up to a temperature of 450°F/230°C.

If you want to add curls to your hair, you could consider heat free ways to do this, such as plaiting your hair while it’s damp (and tangle free) then leaving it over night.  You could also use hair rollers overnight, or, for tighter, spiral curls, try twisting your hair into buns.  Take care not to pull it too hard though as this can be damaging.

Try A Hair Growth Serum

A hair growth serum can help fight hair loss and boost your hair’s density.  At our Cardiff salons we recommend UKLASH Hair Growth Serum.

This is packed with vitamins and clinically proven active ingredients, designed to promote fuller, healthier hair growth.   Simply apply 2 to 5 pumps to the scalp and leave in, preferable overnight, for it to work its magic.  Ideally use daily for 3 to 6 months for best results.

In UKLASH tests, 85% of people noticed visible hair regrowth and 95% saw reduced hair loss.  A total 95% of users felt there was an improvement in the overall look of their hair.

Book Regular Trims At Your Local Michelle Marshall Salon

Although it might seem strange when you are trying to grow your hair, getting it cut regularly will strengthen your locks.

That’s because cutting your hair removes split ends, preventing them from spreading further up the hair shaft.    This makes your hair less prone to breakage in the long run, as well as leaving it sleeker and shinier. 

A bouncy blow dry can also give the impression of volume before a special event.

Don’t Forget Your Eyelashes

Your eyelashes can become brittle or sparse for various reasons, including leaving your eye make up on for too long, removing lash extensions without proper care and using eye lash curlers.  Conditions such as trichotillomania and blepharitis can also be a factor.

To promote healthy lash growth we recommend UKLASH Eyelash serum. Available at our Rhiwbina beauty salon.  It is fortified with vitamins, extracts and peptides to nourish and infuse your eyelashes with what they need to look longer, fuller and more voluminous.  Results should be visible within 25 days, with lashes up to 55% longer and up to 75% more voluminous, according to UKLASH tests. 

Application is easy, taking less than 5 seconds daily.  The serum is oil-free so it’s safe with lash extensions and for contact lens wearers, plus it’s dermatologist & ophthalmologist tested.

It’s also free from parabens, vegan and cruelty free.

Give it try, we’re sure you won’t look back!

Talk To Your Doctor If You Are Concerned

If you are concerned about the underlying cause for your hair loss or lack of hair growth, do go and speak to your GP in the first instance, who will be able to advise you.
