Long, healthy hair: How to optimally promote your hair growth

Many dream oflong, strong hair – but hair growth requires time, patience, and the right care. How fast does hair grow? How can you speed up growth? And are there really methods to get 2 cm longer hair overnight? In this article, you will learn everything about hair growth and get valuable tips to make your hair grow faster.

The hair growth varies from person to person, but on average, hair grows about1 to 1.5 cm per month Various factors such as genetics, nutrition, and care influence growth. While some people are lucky enough to have their hair grow quickly, others feel that their hair just doesn't get any longer.

If you're wondering: "How much do hair grow in a month?", can you with about 12 to 15 cm per year calculate – provided the hair remains healthy and does not break off.

Sometimes it seems like the hair just won't grow. There can be several reasons for this:

• Lack of nutrient supply: Hair consists of keratin, which is supported by a protein-rich diet
• Too frequent heat styling Flat irons, curling irons, and blow drying can damage hair and lead to breakage
• Split ends and brittle tips: When the hair ends break off, the hair appears shorter, even if the roots are growing
• Hormonal fluctuations: Stress, pregnancy, or certain medications can affect hair growth

The good news: With the right care and nutrition, you can specifically promote growth!

If you are impatient and want to make your hair grow faster, there are some methods that can help.

Healthy hair growth starts at the root. Regularly massage your scalp to promote blood circulation and stimulate the hair follicles.

Tip: Massage a few drops of hair oil with activating ingredients like rosemary or peppermint into the scalp!

A protein- and vitamin-rich diet promotes hair growth. Particularly important are:

• Biotin (Vitamin B7) – strengthens the hair structure
• Zinc – supports cell regeneration
• Iron – ensures optimal oxygen supply to the hair roots
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids – nourish the scalp

A great addition to your hair care is the ESTEL Collagen Series. Collagen is an important building block for strong hair and supports the elasticity and resilience of the hair structure.

Collagen is a protein that strengthens hair follicles and provides them with the necessary nutrients. As we age, the body's own collagen production decreases, which can lead to thinner and more brittle hair. Therefore, it is important to supply collagen to the hair specifically – either through diet or special hair care products.

The Benefits of Collagen for Your Hair

✔️ Strengthens the hair structure:Collagen gives hair more resilience and makes it less prone to breakage
✔️ Improves moisture supply: By binding moisture, the hair remains supple and shiny
✔️  Promotes hair growth: A healthy scalp and strong hair roots are the foundation for long, healthy hair
✔️ Reduces hair loss: By supporting the hair follicles, hair growth is promoted and hair loss is minimized

Long hair requires special attention to stay healthy and strong. The longer the hair gets, the more susceptible it is to split ends, breakage, and moisture loss. With the right care, you can optimally protect your hair and support its growth.

Long hair should always be treated with care to avoid breakage. Aggressive towel-drying can damage the hair structure – it is better to gently squeeze the hair with a microfiber towel or a cotton shirt. Caution is also advised when combing: always start at the ends and work your way up slowly to gently detangle knots. A brush with natural bristles or a special detangling comb helps to care for the hair gently.

Empress Sisi was famous for her exceptionally long, healthy hair – and her secret lay, among other things, in her daily, intensive brushing routine. By carefully brushing 100 strokes with a natural bristle brush, she massaged her scalp, stimulated blood circulation, and thus promoted hair growth.

For optimal hair care, the rule still applies today: the right brush makes all the difference. A brush with natural bristles smooths the hair lengths, lays down the cuticle layer, and gives a natural shine. For gentle detangling, a brush with flexible nylon pins is suitable, which untangles knots without stressing the hair. This way, brushing becomes a nourishing beauty ritual – in the style of Empress Sisi.

During sleep, hair is often stressed, especially when left loose. To reduce friction on the pillow and prevent hair breakage, a gentle sleep hairstyle is recommended. A loosely braided braid or a bun with a soft scrunchie protects the hair from tangling. Even better: a pillowcase made of silk or satin can further minimize friction and ensure smoother hair.

If you want to grow your hair long-term, you should not only rely on high-quality care products but also adjust small daily routines. Because healthy lengths are no coincidence – they are the result of the right care and gentle treatment!

Getting long, healthy hair takes time, but with the right methods, you can support growth. Take care of your hair with high-quality products such as theHC Luxury Long Hair Mask from ESTEL and pay attention to a balanced diet.

Whether you're just starting out or have been at it for a long time – with the right strategy, your hair will grow healthy and strong!
