“Can you really make your hair grow faster?” is a question every woman asks following the inevitable bad haircut. Do supplements really work? Are there topical treatments?
Can you make your hair grow faster?
It is important to know that your hair is only genetically capable of growing as much, but you can give it a nutrient boost to make it perform at its full potential. Most people will notice faster-growing hair by upping their intake of the right nutrients. “Hair is a non-essential tissue, so if you’re deficient in something your hair will be the last to get what it needs to grow”. Before you start taking vitamins, consider your correct diet: hair is 90 percent protein, so making protein a part of at least two meals a day is imperative for change.
Everyone says vitamins are the secret. Fact or fiction?
A little bit of both. Taking biotin has become very popular for getting longer tresses, but they’re not really necessary if you’re already taking a multivitamin. Why? Their active ingredients—folic acid, iron, biotin—are found in them.
Topical products, helping the correct outgrowth of your hair
Once you’ve started supplementing your diet with the right nutrients, you’ve pretty much maxed out your hair’s growth and thickness potential, but there are products on the market that can even more make your locks fuller and increase their growth potential.
Launching in early 2016, S3 Skin and Laser will be offering a clinically proven hair restoration programme using ContrAge H-Stim. This is a new non-invasive hair renewal serum combining a powerful range of proven active formulations known to relieve the problems of thinning hair. When combined with ‘in-clinic’ red-diode light therapy, H-Stim Recovery Serum is proven to be very effective against excessive hair loss.
