🧬 First, What Affects Hair Growth?
Hair grows in a cycle: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting/shedding).
On average, hair grows about ½ inch per month, or 6 inches per year, but several factors can impact that:
✅ Genetics
✅ Age & hormones
✅ Nutrition & lifestyle
✅ Scalp health
✅ Hair damage & breakage
✅ Product use & hair care routine
💡 The key to growing your hair faster and thicker is to support the scalp, minimize breakage, and strengthen the strands you already have.
🔟 Top 10 Tips for Growing Hair Faster and Thicker
1. 🧴 Keep Your Scalp Healthy
Think of your scalp as the “soil” for hair. A clean, balanced scalp promotes stronger, healthier hair growth.
-
Exfoliate weekly to remove buildup
-
Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo
-
Book a scalp detox treatment at Venelle
💬 Ask our stylists about Eufora’s Scalp Balance line for a healthier foundation.
2. ✂️ Get Regular Trims
Yes, trimming your hair actually helps it grow! By removing split ends, you prevent breakage from moving up the shaft.
📅 Schedule trims every 8–12 weeks to maintain length and thickness.
3. 🍎 Nourish Hair from Within
Your diet plays a major role in hair health. Fuel your follicles with:
-
Protein (eggs, fish, legumes)
-
Biotin-rich foods (nuts, sweet potatoes)
-
Iron (leafy greens, lentils)
-
Omega-3s (salmon, flaxseeds)
-
Water!
💊 Consider a hair-specific supplement like Nutrafol or Viviscal, available at salons and pharmacies.
4. 🧖♀️ Use Hair Growth-Boosting Products
Look for ingredients like:
-
Peptides: stimulate the follicle
-
Biotin & keratin: strengthen strands
-
Caffeine: improves scalp circulation
-
Castor oil or rosemary: natural stimulants
Venelle Salon carries growth-supporting brands like:
-
Eufora Thickening Regimen
-
K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair
-
Olaplex No.0 + No.3 Bond Builders
-
R+Co Dallas Biotin Thickening Line
5. 💤 Sleep on Silk
Switching to a silk or satin pillowcase reduces friction and breakage while you sleep.
Wrap your hair in a silk scarf or use a protective bonnet at night.
6. 💆♀️ Massage Your Scalp
Just 5 minutes a day of gentle scalp massage can increase blood flow to the hair follicles. Try:
-
Using fingertips in circular motions
-
Adding a drop of rosemary oil or peppermint oil
-
Using a scalp massaging brush in the shower
7. 🚫 Avoid Excessive Heat & Chemicals
Too much heat styling, bleach, or color can cause breakage and slow down growth.
✔️ Use a heat protectant
✔️ Keep hot tools below 350°F
✔️ Ask Venelle about gentle color services like ammonia-free glosses and toners
8. 🧘♀️ Manage Stress
Stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a condition where hair shifts into the shedding phase.
🧘 Try:
-
Yoga
-
Meditation
-
Scalp treatments
-
Massage or spa services at Venelle (yes, we offer both!)
9. 🌿 Use Natural Oils
Incorporate these oils into your weekly hair care:
-
Castor oil: thickens and strengthens
-
Coconut oil: prevents protein loss
-
Rosemary oil: promotes circulation and regrowth
-
Jojoba oil: mimics scalp’s natural oils
Use before shampooing or as a leave-in.
