How Can I Make My Hair Grow Faster?

(and why it’s about more than just rosemary oil)

One of the most Googled hair questions right now and one we get asked in the salon all the time is how can I make my hair grow faster?

And while we all wish there was a magic serum that could speed things up overnight, the truth is: there’s no instant fix. Don't believe the ad's that say your hair can grow 10cms in 4 weeks!

Real, healthy hair growth comes down to consistent care, overall health, and realistic expectations.

Why Natural Remedies Alone Aren't the Answer

There’s been a huge buzz around natural ingredients like rosemary oil, caffeine-infused serums, and biotin supplements and yes, they can support healthier hair.
However, using oils and natural products incorrectly can sometimes do more harm than good.

For example:

• Heavy oils like rosemary, castor, or coconut oil can coat the scalp, clog pores, and suffocate hair follicles if not washed out properly, as they can be non water soluble.

• An overloaded scalp can become irritated, inflamed, or prone to dandruff, which can actually slow down growth instead of promoting it.

So while natural treatments have their place, they're not a miracle solution on their own and should always be part of a balanced, healthy hair care routine.

The Real Foundations of Faster Hair Growth

If you want to genuinely improve the speed and quality of your hair growth, focus on these areas first:

🧬 Inner Health First

• Get your bloods checked to rule out low iron, vitamin D deficiency, thyroid imbalances, or poor nutrient absorption.

• Eat a balanced diet rich in protein (hair is made of keratin, a protein), iron, zinc, omega-3s, and vitamins B12 and D3.

• Stay hydrated — dry, brittle hair often comes from dehydration at a cellular level.

Healthy hair growth starts from the inside, not just on your scalp!

Stimulate Your Scalp

• Scalp massages, daily if possible, help boost circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles.

• Use a Scalp Scrubber Massager during your shampoo to gently exfoliate dead skin and build-up.

• Choose scalp treatments like Serioxyl Denser Hair Serum or Redken Thickening Serum that nourish follicles without blocking them.

Choose Smarter Products

• Look for lightweight, targeted products that support the scalp environment without smothering it.

• Our favourites?
  ➔ L’Oréal Serioxyl Range (for visibly denser hair)
  ➔ Biolage Full Rescue Range (for thickening and breakage prevention)

These ranges are backed by science and designed for real results — not just hype.

🚫 Avoid Things That Slow Down Growth

• Limit heat styling, harsh chemical treatments, and tight hairstyles that stress your scalp.

• Be gentle when brushing or detangling, especially when wet.

• Protect your hair from UV damage, just like your skin, your hair can suffer under too much sun exposure!

Final Thoughts:

Making your hair grow faster isn’t just about rubbing oils into your scalp or following the latest TikTok trends. Don't be fooled by false advertising.
It’s about treating your hair like part of your overall health: nourishing it from the inside out, protecting your scalp, and giving it the right environment to thrive.

Consistency is key — and so is realistic patience.
