Method 1 of 2: Promote hair growth at home

1. Take good care of your hair. In some cases, poor hair care can cause hair loss or prevent hair from growing back. By taking good care of your hair in a healthy way you can ensure that it grows back.
2. Wash your hair regularly and gently. Gently clean your hair and scalp regularly using shampoo and conditioner. This can not only help regrow your hair, but also prevent damage that could cause more hair loss.
   • Wash your hair every other day or as little as possible. Washing your hair too often can damage it.
   • Massage the shampoo into your scalp and into your hair itself.
   • Rinse your hair by letting the water run down from your scalp to your hair. While rinsing, do not rub your hair as this can damage it and cause it to fall out.
3. Apply conditioner to your hair. After you've washed and rinsed your hair, apply conditioner to your hair from the ends to the scalp. This prevents your hair from getting damaged and breaking, so that more hair does not fall out.
   • Make sure to use conditioner every time you wash your hair.
4. Dry your hair gently. Drying your hair with a towel and blow dryer can damage it and slow it down. Gently dry your hair to prevent it from breaking and to regrowth.
   • After you wash your hair, use a towel to rub or pat your strands dry. Resist the temptation to wrap your hair in a towel as this can damage it and cause it to fall out.
   • If possible, let your hair air dry.
   • If you're using a hair dryer, set it to the lowest setting. Using a hair dryer less often per week can also promote hair growth.
5. Do not comb or brush your hair too vigorously or too often. If you want to brush or comb your hair, do it as little and as gently as possible. Brushing and combing your hair less often and doing it differently can help promote hair growth and prevent damage.
   • Brush your hair only to style it. It's a myth that you should brush your hair 100 strokes a day.
   • After shampooing, let your hair dry a little before brushing or combing it.
   • Use a wide tooth comb to detangle your wet hair. This will damage your hair less than with a brush.
   • Gently remove tangles and tangles from your hair and use some conditioner to help you if necessary.
6. Style your hair sensibly. Many people style their hair and use hair styling products such as curling irons, which are often even warmer than a hair dryer. If you want to style your hair, opt for loose hairstyles, do not use products that weigh down your hair and use less warm tools.
   • Combing your hair tightly back into a ponytail or doing a haircut like cornrows can break and damage your hair and even cause it to fall out. Comb your hair back loosely and try a different hairstyle every day so that your hair and scalp can relax.
   • Use fabric hair ties to create a ponytail in your hair. Rubber can pull on your hair and cause it to break.
   • Do not use hair styling products with a long-lasting hold. These can damage your hair and cause it to break.
   • If you are using hot tools such as a curling iron, flat iron, or electric comb, set them to the lowest setting.
   • If you have a weave or hair extensions, make sure they are light and thus do not pull on your hair and scalp.
7. Use chemicals only occasionally or never at all. If you are treating your hair with chemicals to dye, perm, or relax it, leave more time between treatments or choose not to chemically treat your hair at all. This way you can not only promote your hair growth, but also prevent your hair from getting damaged and breaking.
   • Wait 8 to 10 weeks before updating your hair.
   • Choose only one treatment at a time. If you are treating your hair in multiple ways, wait two weeks before starting another treatment.

   • Use a sunscreen specifically designed for hair or a leave-in conditioner with zinc oxide to help protect your hair and scalp.
9. Stimulate hair growth give yourself a scalp massage. By rubbing your scalp you stimulate the blood supply. Try a professional scalp massage or rub your scalp yourself to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
   • Some masseurs are trained to give scalp massages to stimulate blood flow to the scalp.
   • A better blood supply allows nutrients to be absorbed better, which in turn helps to promote hair growth.

    • You can buy lavender oil at health food stores and some supermarkets.
    • Rub a small amount into your scalp once a day.
    • You can mix the lavender oil with other essential oils such as thyme oil, rosemary oil and cedarwood oil.
11. Get more nutrients. Your hair shows how your overall health is, and certain vitamins and minerals help your hair to get healthier. Increase your intake of certain nutrients to help your hair grow and keep it strong.
    • Protein is one of the substances that make up your hair. Eating plenty of lean protein foods, such as meat, dairy, fish, eggs, and nuts, can help your hair grow strong and grow.
    • Iron helps to prevent hair loss. You can get extra iron by eating foods like red meat, organ meats, fish and chicken, and vegetables like lentils, kale and broccoli.
    • Vitamin C ensures that your body absorbs iron properly and also stimulates collagen production, which can strengthen the hair shaft. Try to eat blueberries, broccoli, oranges, and strawberries to get enough vitamin C.
    • Omega 3 fatty acids provide enough fat on the scalp, which keeps your hair hydrated. Eat fish like salmon and trout and other foods like avocado and pumpkin seeds to get enough omega 3 fatty acids.
    • Zinc and / or selenium deficiency can cause hair loss. Eat fortified whole grains, oysters, beef, and eggs to get enough zinc to prevent hair loss.
    • Biotin keeps your hair strong and flexible. If you don't get enough biotin, your hair can become brittle and break down. Whole grains, liver, eggs and yeast contain biotin.
12. Wear a wig. If your hair loss is causing you a lot of discomfort, consider wearing a wig while your hair grows back. This may make you feel more comfortable in public and with your friends and family.
    • You can also try a wig if your hair is not responding to treatments.

2. Rub minoxidil into your scalp. Minodixil is an over-the-counter lotion that you massage into your scalp twice a day.This drug can promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.
   • Both men and women can use minodixil and you don't need a prescription.
   • After about 16 weeks, the drug does not start to work. You will have to keep taking the drug to benefit from it.
   • You may experience some side effects such as an irritated scalp, a fast heartbeat and even hair growth on the face and hands.

3. Undergo surgery to thicken your hair or get hair transplanted. If medications and home remedies aren't helping your hair grow back, have a hair transplant or surgery to thicken your hair. This can directly help thicken your hair and promote hair growth.
   • In these surgeries, the doctor removes small strands of hair from different areas of the scalp and implants them in areas with little or no hair.
   • You may need to take hair loss medication before surgery.
   • Hair transplants can be very painful and cause infection and scarring.
   • Know that these are expensive procedures and your health insurance may not cover them.
4. Get laser treatment. Some studies have found that low-level laser therapy can reduce hair loss and make hair thicker. More research is needed, but laser treatment may be a good option for you if medications don't work and you don't want to undergo a painful hair transplant.
   • Laser therapy against hair loss has no side effects.
