Expert Tips to Help Grow Long Black Hair Fast

Struggling with hair loss or slow hair growth can be frustrating, but there are things you can do to improve your hair's health and appearance.

When followed consistently, many of these suggestions can actually stimulate hair growth. Follow these recommendations to grow long black hair fast.

Did you know that using the wrong styling tools on your hair can contribute to damage and breaking? When picking a hair brush, be sure to select one with natural boar bristles. If you use a comb, make sure it is a wide-tooth comb.

Both of these items improve the appearance and condition of your hair because they help to distribute your hair's natural oil from the scalp all the way to the ends. Simply by using the right tools, you can grow long black hair fast.

Tangles can be a pain to get out, and if you are not careful you can damage your hair trying to get rid of a tangle. It's best to comb your hair periodically during the day to avoid getting tangled hair. If you do get a tangle, work with just one small section of it at a time.

Use short, quick, downward strokes. If you find that you just can't get the knot out, it's best to cut it out carefully. Never use a comb to tease or back comb your hair as this is very damaging.

Split ends are a pain that we all have to deal with. To minimize damage from split ends, you should trim your hair frequently because the damage from a split end will travel up the hair shaft.

If you are still in the process of growing your hair out, it's best to trim off half an inch every three to four months. If you just want to maintain your current length, trim off half an inch every 4 weeks.

Be sure to check your hair frequently for split ends because they are very damaging. Hair with split ends breaks easily and you'll lose more hair if you allow them to linger.

If you find any split ends simply cut them off, one hair at a time using a pair of sharp scissors. By taking control of split ends you can grow long black hair fast.

Tossing and turning during sleep can actually damage your hair as well due to the friction between your hair and the pillow. To avoid damage, wear hair in a braid or sleep cap and use only a satin pillowcase.

Heated styling tools are especially damaging to hair and can hamper your quest to grow long black hair fast. You should avoid using blow dryers, rollers, curling and flat irons, and crimpers. The heat from these tools will dry hair out making it fragile and brittle.

You should also avoid steaming hot showers and vigorous drying of your hair with a towel. This creates friction that can damage hair.

You should also be careful when using hair accessories. Rubber bands are very damaging to hair. They tear at the hair causing damage to the outer layer which ultimately makes hair prone to getting tangled.

Avoid anything with rough or sharp edges, and be careful of hinges because hair can get caught and break. The best hair accessories are soft scrunchies and hair sticks.

Be careful about how you style your hair. If pony tails and braids are too tight, it will cause stress at the root and lead to hair loss.

Avoid any style that requires a lot of pulling and tugging. Growing long black hair fast is possible if you follow these easy suggestions.
