Eat the right foods

To grow long hair means more strengthen hair on your head, So to prevent unnecessary shedding you should increase your intake of proteins such as whole grains, beans, fish and nuts. This will promote hair growth from the inside hair

Get a silk pillowcase

Opt for silk or satin bonnet or pillowcase if you want to grow long hair. Reason being that satin or silk has soft surface and won't cause friction neither will it absorb moisture from the hair like cotton does.

Always cold water

I know cold water rinse might be a little chilling but if you want to grow long hair with a glossy healthy look, cold water is one of the many ways to go about it. This is because cold water seals the hair cuticle thereby preventing moisture loss, heat damage and snags and increases shine. 

Rinsing your hair with cold water over time makes a huge difference to the health and appearance of your hair

 Detangle 

When detangling hair make use of your fingers first to detangle starting from the tip and working to the root and use products with a lot of slip. 

This reduces the amount of small tangles, which usually form big knots, and reduces the amount of hair on the floor of the bathroom. When you are done finger detangling you can then use your wide tooth comb to finish the look.

Stop heat styling

To grow long hair you need to watch out the way you use heat. This is because heat, when not done properly and too often, damages hair. 

So whenever you want that sleek straight hair consider using heat less methods of straightening hair or if you must use heat remember to use heat protector and follow the right steps of heat styling.

Don't shampoo every time 

Shampoo serves the purpose of washing away dirt and product buildup but it can also strip your hair of it essential natural oils that keep the strands healthy and soft 

 In order to avoid this you have to stop washing your hair whenever you hit the shower. When cleansing your hair, shampoo only the scalp and let the suds slide down the strands cleaning the rest of the hair as it slides.

Regular trims

 Cutting your hair will make it grow longer, but the truth of the matter is, split ends lead to loss of hair length, shine, volume and smoothness and when left for long it causes your hair to break off more often leaving you with shorter hair than if you get consistent trims.

 To grow long hair include trimming in your regimen by trimming every three to four months to help maintain length, or trim every four to six months to allow it to grow in length 

 conditioner every time

Over time, strands get thin from coloring, chemical and heat styling. This is where conditioner comes in. Conditioner replaces lipids and proteins inside the hair shaft and seal the hair cuticle to help prevent more damage from occurring, so that your hair can grow longer and look healthier. 

Conditioners also strengthen hair and help retain moisture. To grow long hair, you should apply conditioner to hair every time you shampoo, to get its goodies.
