The Most Extensive, Detailed Guide, on How to Grow Natural Hair That Exists Today!
Lately, I’ve been writing more about growing long hair, but there appears to be a group of people potentially looking for short cuts or hair tips that will improve their rate of hair growth. I have been studying natural hair and hair growth techniques day and night for the past several years.
I’m going to provide some of the information that I have about growing longer hair into a fairly comprehensive article on the topic. If you’re looking to grow long hair, this is one of the most important articles that you will ever read. Not only will you learn more about hair growth, but I will also reveal very specific reasons why you might be struggling with your hair growth

Hair growth is about time, but not only about time. There are numerous factors that determine the rate of hair growth, but the one that is most important is time. There simply is no substitute for just letting your hair grow.
There are things that can be done to encourage and enhance the growing process, but nothing is more of a factor than the passage of time. Hair growth is a process; and for your hair to be healthy and look its best, that process must be carried out in full and that process requires time.
The average person’s hair grows about 1/2 inch a month or approximately six inches per year. Some ethnic groups have a tendency to be above or below the mean; but since the world has become such a melting pot and considering the theory of miscegenation, I typically don’t dive into norms related to various ethnic groups since the norms are so difficult to apply. Frankly, these differences are not enormous and can sometimes be completely erased by genetic factors.
Some people just naturally have hair that grows faster or slower than others. The good news is that regardless of your natural rate of hair growth, your hair is always in the process of growing on a 24 hour basis. Hair growth tends to follow a pattern. Most of the time when growing out your natural hair you will notice an increase in your hair’s thickness before you notice much increase in length.

Beware of comparing the characteristics of your own hair growth to others, as what is normal for one person may not be normal for you. It is also worth mentioning that you are not always the best judge of how fast and how well your hair is growing, because of your over familiarity with it. You look at your hair and study it everyday, which can make it difficult to appreciate subtle changes that others who see you less frequently will notice immediately. Chances are your hair is actually growing faster than you realize.
I have written extensively on hair growth cycles previously, so I will only briefly cover growth cycles within this article. In my previous article, I discussed the three common hair growth cycles – anagen (growth) , catagen (regression) and telogen (rest). For years, the shedding function of the growth cycle has been thought to be a part of the telogen phase.
Eat a Healthy Diet
Just like the rest of your body, your hair and the way it looks and grows is dependent on your overall health. Having the right nutrients in your body will determine how fast and how well your hair grows
Hair is heavily dependent on protein so make sure you get enough of it through the foods you eat – examples include steak, fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, legumes and beans. Fruits and vegetables also contain nutrients that encourage hair growth so eat plenty of those as well.
Vitamin A, vitamin C, niacin and biotin are vitamins that many people believe will lead to healthier hair and increase your hair growth potential. So, taking a multivitamin supplement that contains these vitamins is the best approach (if you decide to take an oral supplement). Again, be sure to check with your medical doctor before taking oral supplements.
