10 Secrets to Grow (70 feet) Long Hair like Rapunzel

Did you know that Rapunzel’s hair was 70 feet long and contained 1,00,000 hair strands? I know it sounds unreal.

Most interesting thing is that every single strand of her hair can apparently hold 100 grams of weights. That being said, if you multiply the number of hair strands, her prince charm could easily climb up her hair.

Well, Rapunzel probably didn’t use any professional hair conditioners or shampoos yet she got such an incredibly long hair. Although it’s a fairytale, taking good care of your hair is what you need to consider without using chemical commercial products.

So, here are a few things which you need to avoid, for a prince to climb your hair as well.

 

Things you must do for Healthy Hair and Scalp

1. Oiling your hair

Massaging hair with oils could increase hair elasticity making hair less prone to breakage. Applying oils to your hair and then massaging the scalp is the best way to stimulate hair growth and improve the scalp condition. Here are some of the benefits of deep conditioning natural hair with oils,

• Oils can gently deal with hair problems such as Dandruff, Dry scalp, Itchiness, Split ends, and Frizzy hair
• They’re the great way to manage flyaways
• Nourishes your hair by giving a healthy sleek look
• Protects hair from the heat while using heating tools and styling products
•  Hot oil treatments can completely banish away dry scalp and hair breakage

 

2. Massage your scalp

Massaging your scalp is the best way to increase blood circulation which thereby increases hair growth. Scalp massages create a good environment for hair growth because the blood flows to the hair cells so that healthier hair grows out of your scalp. Therefore the health of your scalp is vital to keep your hair healthy and strong.

You can use your fingers to massage the scalp using your favorite oil. Else you could use a Wire Scalp Massager.

 

3. Don’t wear super tight ponytails

Tight buns or ponytails will lead to hair breakage and thinning. In addition, if you’re pulling your hair back into a tight ponytail, the tension will break your hair. Do this instead: The best way to wear braids with minimal damage is to not braid hair strands too tight by using a fabric ponytail holder.

Alternatively, sometimes you could use claws, banana clips or any other hair holders.

 

4. Don’t use Chemical products

Stoping buying products especially shampoos which has parabens, SLS or other artificial fragrances. These harmful ingredients will actually lead to hair loss because they show a tendency to strip away natural essential oils away from your scalp, break down proteins, and will stop healthy hair growth.

Similarly, avoid hair dyes or bleaching which would inhibit hair loss fastly.
