Finally, when you go to bed lock your hair in a protective hairstyle like braids to avoid hair damage due to friction. Invest in a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and tangling. The last thing before we let you go is do not go to bed with wet hair because it leads to breakage of hair.
Even if did all of these tips simultaneously it is important to remind yourself that hair growth is a genetic process and hence no one magical formula will result in perfect hair. Hair growth is a slow process because on average our hair grows only half an inch per month i.e. figuratively 6 inches per year. Hence, it is important to give yourself grace and be patient to be able to see results. Also, be sure to check out our hair growth serum to help you along on your hair growth journey!
