2. High protein meals
Gentle massage boosts blood circulation, bringing nutrients to the follicles and encouraging growth. Just 3–5 minutes a day can make a difference.
3. Gentle, sulfate-free products
Harsh ingredients strip natural oils and irritate the scalp. Opt for clean, scalp-safe shampoos and conditioners that support a healthy environment for hair growth.
4. Supplement wisely
Vitamins like biotin (B7), D, iron, zinc, and omega–3s can help fill nutritional gaps that impact hair health. Always test and tailor with a professional.
5. Consistent care
Hair takes time to respond. What you do today affects growth months from now. Stick to healthy routines and trust the process.
6. Silk pillowcase
Silk reduces friction while you sleep, preventing breakage and protecting the hair shaft, especially helpful for fine or fragile strands.
7. Avoid tight hairstyles
Constant tension from ponytails or buns can lead to traction alopecia. Give your scalp a break with looser styles or wear your hair down. Also read | Struggling with hair breakage? Hair care expert reveals secret to stronger, healthier hair
