How many women can actually afford to grow their hair long these days? In between busy schedules and increasingly polluted atmospheres, the average length of our hair keeps becoming shorter and shorter every year. You can go for a million whacky hairstyles but the truth remains that there is nothing more beautiful than a head full of strong long hair. Since it is age of quick results you too need to choose a way for fast hair growth to realise the 'Rapunzel' dream of your girlhood days.

Here are some simple steps that can help you grow your hair long.

Steps To Grow Your Hair Long:

1. Oiling Hair: There is simply no alternative to oiling your hair and that is one of the main reasons why girls these days keep their hair short. Just oiling your hair is not enough, you have to leave it for some time (at least an hour or so) for the oil to get absorbed in the scalp and strengthen hair roots. Massage lukewarm oil into your scalp and wrap it up with a hot towel for best absorption.

2. What Hair Oil Are You Using: Not all oils are for fast hair growth. The best known oil for long strong hair is almond oil. Almond oil has plenty of vitamin E and also soaks your hair well.

3. Regular Washing: Just because oiling your hair is healthy it does not mean you leave it greasy and unwashed for days. If you have long hair you need to wash it once in two days because greasy hair attracts more dirt. Your scalp needs to be clear of dandruff for the hair roots to be strong.

4. No Abrasive Hot Hair Styling Tools: Stay away from blow dryers, hot irons or curlers and other hair styling tools that damage your hair. You might feel that blow drying is must for long hair because it won't dry on its own but 5 minutes in the sun or under the fan is good enough. If any part of your long locks get damaged due to heat then it will look unhealthy.

5. Eat Healthy: It is important that your diet includes hair healthy food like green leafy vegetables, almonds, fish, coconut, etc. to grow your hair long.

6. Trim It To Grow: It is a myth that the best way to have long hair is to not cut it at all. You need to give your hair a trim once in 3 months to make hair growth faster and get rid of the split ends. Moreover, you cannot go for hairstyles like layers or steps that shorten hair length substantially or disarrange it.

7. Tie It Up: Long hair needs to be protected from pollution, dust and wind. If you are travelling then tie your hair up in protective styles like braids or buns. The less your hair is eroded the longer it will be.
