1. STOP USING HEAT

You’ve heard it once and I’ll say it again. Rule number one to grow hair faster: stop using excess heat on your hair. If using heat styling tools on the daily is second nature to you, it’s time to take a break. We’re saying boy bye to blow-dryers, straighteners, and curlers on the daily. Sounds nearly IMPOSSIBLE for anyone that uses heat on the regular, right? Sorry to break it to you sister, but using heat everyday on your hair is a big no-no when it comes to your hair health. Heat damages your hair, dries it out, and causes breakage.

If you truly can’t live without your heat styling tools, try breaking into the habit slowly. If you’re someone that washes their hair, blow-dries it immediately, and uses a straightener immediately after, try skipping out on one of the steps in the short term. Let your hair air dry naturally, and straighten it after the fact, taking off a bit of heat pressure on your hair.
