Did you know that you’re born with every hair follicle you’ll ever have? That’s right. A normal head of hair has approximately 80,000 to 120,000 hair follicles. However, it’s normal to start experiencing hair loss or thinning as you age.
Genetics and your overall health play roles in how your hair grows, so let’s explore some ways you can continue to grow healthy hair as the years go on.
How Can I Make My Hair Grow Faster?
Let’s be real—your hair won’t magically grow long and luscious overnight. In fact, hair grows about half an inch per month. That’s smaller than the size of a paper clip. To nourish and stimulate hair growth, you’ll need to practice healthy daily habits while using high-quality hair topicals.
1. Use Hair Topicals
First of all, book an appointment with your dermatologist if you haven’t done so already. They’ll be able to get to the root of your problem (pun intended) and create a custom plan for healthier hair. Now, take a look at some of our favorite hair growth products formulated with your hair’s health in mind.

2. Vitamins & Nutrients
Yes, your vitamins and nutrients matter. Your entire body is working hard to grow strong hair, so it’s important to stay healthy. Typically, you should be consuming vitamins and nutrients from your diet, but many supplements can also promote hair growth.
Introduce protein into your diet by eating chicken, fish, eggs, and red meat. Fruits, vegetables, and seeds are also good sources of protein. Daily vitamins and supplements like Biotin, Vitamin B, E, and C, along with Omegas 3 and 6, can help boost your healthy hair growth journey.
3. Improve Your Daily Habits
If you haven’t improved your daily habits yet, now is the time. Make sure you’re getting adequate sleep and exercise while implementing heatless, protective hairstyles.
Your hair grows from the root, so remember to give your hair a stimulating scalp massage. Never use your fingernails to scratch your scalp. Use your fingertips instead.
