So your strands aren’t what they used to be. You’ll find yourself often dreaming about being Rapunzel (a serious hair growth wannabe sign). Or worse, finding yourself often getting complimented on that haircut you never actually had (a true insult). But still you want more than anything to get your mane back to the teenage glory years (before all the dye and heat-styling). But save for finding a time-machine and warning 15 year old you to protect your strands at all costs, how do you turn back the time?
Well stop your search for the fountain of youth, because we’ve found some hair growth products that will help with *just* what you’re looking for. But before we launch into these seriously-strand saving options, you’ve got to know all the hot hair tips.
Firstly, invest in your tresses. No, that doesn’t mean finding the most expensive hair care routine out there, but be sure to do your research (that’s what we’re here for).

What causes hair to grow?
Well, let’s start first off by shouting out (or cursing as the case may be) our mummas who gave us the hair we have. Because the amount and type of hair you’ve got all comes down to genetics. But if fine, thinning hair is what you’re working with, there are a few helpful ingredients and tips that can help. Firstly, focusing on your scalp (where the hair follicles form) is a great place to start. Ensuring that you’re doing all you can to boost circulation and blood flow will help to send signals to your follicles to get growing. When looking for products that promote hair growth, be sure to look for ones that include ingredients such as; biotin, rosemary oil and peppermint oil. They all work to boost the follicle production, giving you longer, stronger strands.
Why is my hair not growing?
Now, this is a big question to answer, and for some it may require a doctor’s input. But some factors that disrupt your hair growth cycle include; age, diet, nutrient deficiencies, improper hair care and medical conditions. So, how does age impact your hair growth? As we age the hair growth cycle we spoke about early shortens, giving less time for new follicles to fully develop. As for nutrients (and diet), we want to be eating a well balanced diet including lots of omega-3’s, iron and biotin-rich foods.
