Getting a Rapunzel-like mane takes time, but you can speed things up with these valuable tips.
You Will Need
- A boar-bristle brush
- Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
- Leave-in conditioner
- A deep conditioning treatment with protein
- A multivitamin
- A silica supplement
- A charcoal shower filter (optional)
- A satin pillowcase (optional)
Step 1: Brush your hair
Use a boar-bristle brush to brush your hair with your head upside down. Brushing hair this way brings the hair’s natural oils to dry ends and promotes circulation to the scalp, which helps hair grow.
Step 2: Use moisturizing products
Use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Spritz a leave-in conditioner on ends daily. Once a month, apply a deep-conditioning treatment with protein, and don’t wash you hair every day.
Step 3: Massage scalp
Massage your scalp with your fingertips while washing your hair. Start at the nape of the neck and work around the hairline. Massaging helps nutrients penetrate your follicles faster.
Use a charcoal filter on your showerhead. High mineral content in hard water can damage delicate hair.
Step 4: Don’t use heated appliances
Don’t use heated appliances on your hair, including blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons. Long hair should be air-dried or dried under a professional dryer at no more than 108 degrees.
Sleep on a satin pillowcase to prevent hair from breaking and tangling at night.
Step 5: Take a vitamin
Take a daily multivitamin that contains antioxidants and B vitamins, including biotin. Vitamins help strengthen hair. Silica supplements are known to encourage hair growth.
Step 6: Avoid hair color
Avoid coloring your hair. If you must, treat only the new growth or color less often.
Step 7: Don’t cut it
Don’t cut your hair or get frequent trims. Contrary to popular belief, constant trimming will only make hair shorter. Get one trim to clean up split ends prior to growing it out; then let it grow.
Did you know? Genes determine the upper limit for hair growth. You inherit hair genetics from your father’s mother and your mother’s father.

Dear isabarriga
You can't wash your hair everyday because you need natural oils, but if you wash them out your hair can't grow nearly as fast.
It made no sense when you randomly said 'I want love and girls' but anyways..
you can't use heated appilances-(not appilcanes) because in return you'll get split ends which causes breakage and leads to hair falling out.
Your hair grows slow because of your genes and possibly you're not getting enough nutrients and water..
It's good you got a Bristle brush and other stuff to speed the growth of your hair :)
I know it sucks to want straight hair when you have curly hair and to not know what to do about it because you can't use heated appliances, but there is a fix. A way to not get breakage and split ends is to use a heat protectant mostly found at drugstores-walmart
spray heat protectant all over your hair and brush through with a bristly brush. Spray mostly on the ends of your hair where you're more prone to getting split ends. And then, WALAH! you can use a flat iron! but get a good quality heat protectant like Chi or BigSexyHair (I think that's what it's called) and you can have striaght hair.
Holy snap that was long . sorry but I hope I helped you ;D

Taking fish oil capsules 3 times a day makes my hair grow like a weed, in addition to being good for cholesterol.
