When
it comes to hair growth, we've all been guilty of
anxiously peering in the mirror everyday to see if we
have made any progress only to become frustrated with
the fact that it takes a long time to regrow hair.
Added to that is the frustration that comes along with
not being able to style your hair during this stage.
That is why many refer to hair regrowth as an
"awkward stage."
While hair growth is a slow process (locks normally
grow about ½" per month), there are several
things that you can do to make your transition to
longer tresses smoother. No matter whether you want to
add a few more inches or you are trying to grow your
hair down your back, hair growth can be frustration
free if you go about it in the right way.
The first thing that you need to realize if you are
trying to regrow hair is that hair regrowth is a
process, and in that process you will likely have to
adapt to several different styles before you reach
your ultimate hair growth goal. All of this means that
you will likely be spending more time at the salon
during the hair growth process rather than away from
it.
Since hair growth after different circumstances needs
to be approached a bit differently, we're going to
take a little time to look at how to regrow hair after
a few of the main incidents that people normally want
to promote quick hair regrowth.
Hair growth after a bad hair cut
We've all had those terrible experiences at the salon
where we asked for a particular cut that was just
inches shorter than what we started with only to come
out of the salon with a much shorter do than what we
bargained for. And you can bet that if the stylist
didn't give you the cut you wanted, the cut you have
is probably in poor shape itself.
Hair growth after times like these needs to come in
steps. While you may not want to, the first thing you
need to do after getting a bad hair cut is to go and
get it cut again. The reason why is that you need to
get a style that you can work with, one that is evenly
cut, and a style that is poised to regrow hair. Doing
this will eliminate a lot of the frustration that you
feel during the hair growth process and will give you
a style that you can be proud of in the meantime.
The first visit after a bad hair cut is critical to
your hair growth success. Together, you and your
stylist can examine the style that you would
eventually like to achieve and discuss the hair
regrowth process and how to cut your hair throughout
the duration. The right cuts will ensure that you
remain stylish and stress free during the hair growth
process.
Hair growth after an illness
If you have lost all of your hair due to chemotherapy
or another illness, you no doubt want to regrow hair
quickly. While hair regrowth can begin within days of
stopping treatments, the hair growth process after an
illness can be drawn out.
The first thing you will notice once your hair starts
to grow back in, is that it can be sparse in places
and that it may have changed in texture. While it may
be tempting to encourage any amount of hair growth
after losing all of your hair, you need to give your
locks some time to recover, thicken up and fill in
before you start to regrow hair.
This part of the hair growth process can take several
visits to the salon before your stylist gives you the
go ahead on growing your hair out. During this time,
your stylist will likely recommend short layered hair
cuts, which will be easy to style and make your hair
appear thicker until hair growth is evident on all
parts of your scalp.
Once you begin the hair growth process, you can
proceed just like anyone else trying to promote hair
regrowth. Choose cuts that are both stylish and that
will grow into a longer style without much headache.
Hair growth to gain length
Some people already have lengthy locks, but would like
to see their hair grow even longer. For this type of
hair growth, products that stimulate hair growth often
work best. Look for topical products that contain
nettle or for vitamin supplements that stimulate hair
regrowth.
Salon visits during this type of hair growth should
also not be ignored. Be sure to get your ends trimmed
regularly and avoid unnecessary damage due to chemical
processes such as perms and color. You should also
protect your hair from the sun by using products that
contain UV protectants.
As you can see, hair growth does not have to be a
lesson in patience. If done properly, you can avoid
all of the frustration and have stylish, adorable
locks even while you are trying to regrow hair.
