Do you want healthy and strong hair? Who doesn't want that? Hair growth is something that many women want to improve. There are numerous products on the market that promise to promote hair growth, but what about natural methods? In this article, we will take a closer look at how you can increase your hair growth naturally. Read on for more information!

    This is how you naturally promote your hair growth

    Hair loss is a common problem for many women. But by stimulating the hair roots, you can promote healthy and natural hair growth. To do this, it is important to make sure that your scalp receives nutrients and care so that your hair can go through the different stages of the growth phase in the best way possible. Here is an illustration of the hair growth phase:

    Hair growth cycle

    A tip for increased hair growth is the massage of the scalp . Use natural serums or oils and massage well into the skin with circular movements. Avoid harsh products or abnormal treatments that can further damage your hair. With these simple changes to your routine, you'll be able to see results on thinning hair over time!

    Eat a healthy diet

    A healthy diet is important to maintain normal hair, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit and drink plenty of water. A diet rich in nutrients is the key to normal hair. Pay particular attention to B vitamins , Vitamin C, Folic acid and Zinc in relation to your hair. You can read more about vitamins for the hair here . So make sure to include these foods in your daily diet:

    • Spinach, broccoli or other dark green vegetables
    • Eggs, legumes or other protein sources
    • Blueberries or other antioxidant-rich fruit
    • Nuts or fish

    In addition to eating a healthy diet, you can also use natural remedies to stimulate hair growth. Regularly massage your scalp with a serum filled with growth-promoting ingredients such as Capilia Longa or Biotin , some are also very fond of rosemary oil or water. Avoid abnormal phases of hair loss using gentle products that do not damage your hair roots. Here it can be particularly good to use a shampoo without silicone and sulphate . We can highly recommend our shampoos, both of which are sulfate- and silicone-free. You can find them right here .

    Remember how you treat your hair has a big impact on its healing - so take the time to take care of it!

    Make sure you get enough protein

    In order to maintain normal hair growth, it is important to get enough protein . This can be achieved by eating lean meat and fish as well as including legumes and nuts in your diet. Eggs are also an excellent source of protein, so be sure to include them in your meals.

    Hair strands are made up of proteins, which means that sufficient protein is important for normal hair growth.

    Hair strands are made up of proteins (especially keratin ), which means that strong hair requires nutrients from protein sources. If you suffer from thinning or abnormal hair loss, it may be due to a lack of protein or other important nutrients. Follow these tips to stimulate your hair roots during the growth phase and get healthy and strong hair naturally!

    Massage your scalp

    Use your fingertips to stimulate and massage your scalp daily for a few minutes. This helps to nourish the hair roots, promote blood circulation and strengthen the health of your hair. Take time to relax during the massage - it can also reduce stress levels, which is another factor in hair loss .

    For optimal effect on your hair growth, make sure that your serum contains nutrients specially designed for the different phases of growth. Be careful with products that are harmful or aggressive towards your hair - try natural and environmentally friendly products instead. Always remember the importance of taking care of not only your body but also your soul for a healthy lifestyle! 

    At Yuaia Haircare, we have our Grow and Glow serum, which is a hair growth promoting serum that contains the natural ingredient capilia longa. It has been shown in a study to reduce hair loss and increase hair density. At the same time, it is very effective in bringing your scalp into balance. You can find the serum for hair growth here . 

    Use natural and gentle hair products

    Choose shampoos without sulfates or parabens, as these chemicals can be harsh on your hair and cause abnormal hair loss. Products containing alcohol should also be avoided as they can dry out your hair and make it more vulnerable to damage. Consider using a mild conditioner or hair oil after each wash to add extra moisture to your dry locks.

    Nutrients are essential for stimulating healthy hair growth in all phases of its cycle. You can promote growth by applying a serum to your roots, which will provide nutrients directly to your scalp and help strengthen your thin strands. Also, be sure to stay away from products that contain harsh chemicals or other ingredients that could damage your follicles - especially if you suffer from thinning hair or a tendency to baldness due to genetics.

    Be careful with hot styling tools

    Reduce the temperature on the styling tool setting to protect your hair from abnormal hair loss and damage to your strands. Always use a good heat protectant spray before using hot styling tools as it can help reduce the risk of flyaways and dry split ends . Never sleep with wet hair - instead, let your hair dry naturally before going to bed. This will allow the nutrients to be absorbed by the hair roots and stimulate growth.

    Our goal is not only to have a healthy looking scalp and thick fine hair, but also a natural approach to caring for our curls. By following these phases, we can promote the healthy growth phase of our life cycle using serum products or other nourishing ingredients to treat our locks. Be careful with habits that can damage your hair growth, such as excessive use of chemical products such as bleaching or frequent color treatments - all of these can do more harm than good in the long run!

    Avoid stress

    Do exercise regularly for better mental health. Not only can physical activity do wonders for your health, but it can also help reduce stress levels. Try taking a daily walk or run in the fresh air to stimulate your body and mind.

    Practice meditation or yoga to keep stress levels down. These practices are known for their calming effect on the mind and can help increase your mental health and well-being. Take time for self-care by simply setting aside 15 minutes a day for meditation or yoga, and you will quickly notice a difference in your mood and handling of everyday challenges.

    FAQ about hair growth

    Here we will answer a number of questions about hair growth and how you can optimise your hair growth.

    How long does it take to see results with hair growth products?

    Results with hair growth products vary from person to person, depending on factors such as hair type, degree of hair loss, and the product's active ingredients. Here's a more detailed timeline:

    First Weeks (0-4 Weeks):

    In the first few weeks, you may experience improved moisture and strength in your hair, but visible signs of growth are typically not noticeable yet. The hair products begin to nourish the scalp and improve hair health.

    One to Three Months (4-12 Weeks):

    After a month of regular use, some may start to notice less hair loss and a healthier scalp. Small, new hairs may start to appear, but they are often too short to be visible.

    Three to Six Months (12-24 Weeks):

    This is the period when many start to see more noticeable results. There may be noticeable hair growth, with new hairs becoming longer and more visible. Hair may feel thicker and stronger.

    Six Months onwards (24+ Weeks):

    After six months of consistent use, most people should see significant improvements in hair growth and thickness. Regular use of hair growth products will continue to strengthen and improve hair over time.

    Factors Affecting Results:

    • Genetics: Individual genetic predisposition plays a major role in hair growth and loss.
    • Diet and Lifestyle: A healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals can promote better normal hair growth. Product Quality: Hair growth products with clinically proven ingredients such as Biotin, Zinc, Capilia Longa can provide better results.

    The importance of Consistent Use:

    To maximise the effect of hair growth products, it is important to use them consistently as recommended. Don't switch products too quickly as it can take time to see results.

    Which foods are good for hair growth?

    • Egg: Rich in protein and biotin, which is essential for normal hair growth.
    • Oily Fish: Salmon, mackerel and sardines contain omega-3 fatty acids that promote hair health. Avocado: Contains vitamin E and healthy fats that promote a normal scalp.
    • Berries: Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which have supportive functions for normal hair.
    • Sweet Potatoes: Contains beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, has a supportive function for normal hair growth.

      Which vitamins are the best for hair growth?

      According to the Official Claims Act, there are 2 vitamins and minerals that are recognised for their effect on hair. These are Biotin and Zinc, which help to maintain normal hair. However, there are many vitamins that have supportive effects that in the overall picture can help maintain normal hair growth. For example, vitamin B12, as it helps maintain a normal cell division process, B vitamins generally have good supportive effects on hair. Another thing you can also consider is Omega-3, these fatty acids help keep the scalp in balance and create a good environment for hair growth.

      Can you stop hair growth?

      Yes, it is possible to stop hair growth or significantly reduce it using various methods. Laser hair removal is a popular method where a laser destroys hair follicles and prevents future hair growth, but multiple treatments are needed for lasting results. Electrolysis is another permanent method where an electric current destroys hair follicles. Depilatory creams can temporarily dissolve the hair on the skin's surface, but hair grows back after a period of time. Waxing removes hair from the root and gives longer-lasting results than shaving, but hair does grow back after a few weeks. Shaving is a quick and easy method of hair removal, but hair grows back within a few days.

      Each method has its pros and cons, and the choice depends on personal preference and desired duration of hair removal.
