How to Get Faster Hair Growth

For faster hair growth, it all starts at the foundation – your roots! Keep your scalp health, keep your roots happy! And you will get a good amount of growth. To accomplish this, cleanliness is a must. Some may disagree because, there’s ingrained thoughts or beliefs from childhood that a dirty scalp grows hair faster, but that is usually not the case.

 

What Hinders Hair Growth

A dirty scalp usually brings about scalp issues from dandruff to clogged follicles leading to hair loss. Fungal issues are definitely no fun and can be difficult to get rid off, so preventing them is best. Itching that can result from unhygienic scalp conditions can create issues like abrasions or open cuts which can result in infections, boils, sores which can lead to hair loss.

Clay shampoos are a great start not only as an alternative to store bought chemically laden shampoos, but is a simple and natural detoxifying scalp cleanser that helps nurture healthy hair growth.

Exercise for Healthy Hair Growth

Yes, working it out is not just for building muscles. You get the added bonus of getting your blood pumping and in turn increasing your blood circulation. Your scalp is certainly one area that stands to benefit from increased circulation, as your blood carries the nutrients your lovely hair follicles need to produce hair growth.  More nutrients equal more growth. So get in the habit of exercising even if it is only for 20 minutes per day for 2 to 3 days out of the week.

The following are our top picks for clay washes.

Kaolin
Rhassoul
Bentonite
French Green Clay

Our favorite of the above, is bentonite clay. For us, it just makes a better mud wash, especially if your scalp tends to be a little on the oily side.

Now for the benefits….

Benefits of Using these Clays for your Mud Wash

Kaolin Clay is a gentle clay for exfoliating and cleansing your scalp, with the added bonus of stimulating blood flow and encouraging hair growth. Kaolin is very gentle on your hair strands so you will experience little to no dryness issues. Other benefits of using this clay include temporary repair of damaged strands, as well as strengthening your strands. It is definitely a great addition to any clay wash.

Rhassoul Clay is a great, nourishing, and mineral rich clay that will leave your scalp clean and healthy. This clay gently cleanses your hair leaving it moisturized and softer than most clays. So if your hair tends to be on the drier side of things and you want to retain at much moisture as you can post wash, then this is the clay for you.

Bentonite Clay is highly absorbent and is great for clarifying your hair – lifting product buildup, as well as detoxifying your scalp. Depending on the condition of your hair, this clay can leave your hair feeling moisturized or can be excessively drying for some. However, with the right ratio of ingredients, you can make a fantastic mid wash that leaves your hair feeling cleansed and highly moisturized, so much so that you may find the need to skip the conditioner. This clay is great at elongating curls and coils, so it is definitely worth considering is youare looking to stretch your curls.

 

 

French Green Clay – now much like the other Clays, this clay is great for removing impurities. But it is especially great when it comes to cleansing oily skin and clearing pores, so it is fantastic for maintaining scalp health for those with excessively oily scalp. Also known as sea clay, this clay is loaded with active minerals and is very absorbent, but what makes it even more beneficial is that as it thumps toxins, it replaces them with minerals that can contribute to the health of your scalp.

To Sum It for the Clay We Have Selected

If moisture is your concern, then Rhassoul and or Kaolin Clay are better choices. But if your hair already has a good moisture balance and you are not too worried about dealing with excessive dryness, then give Bentonite and French Green Clay a try.
