Did you cut off your hair and now you want it back? Not to worry, there are many natural and simple ways to get your hair to grow back faster. Here are 4 tips and tricks that you can do to not only get longer hair but to get healthier hair.

Tip 1: Drink plenty of water.
Drinking plenty of water is essential to our body so it can function properly. It is also essential to our hair. Our hair needs to be hydrated on a regularly basis. Not only can drinking water contribute to the health of your hair, it adds shine and strength to it as well. It is recommend for one to drink 8 glasses of water a day to ensure that your hair and body is getting the hydration it needs.

Tip 2: Trimming is a must.
Getting your hair trimmed may seem pointless when you’re trying to grow your hair out because they take length off, but it isn’t. Getting your hair trimmed means that the stylists will just cut off the split ends and the damaged hair. Normally 1 inch is all that need to be cut. By doing this, your hair will grow even faster. When your hair has split ends, it slows growth, which makes it harder for you to get the length you want. So if you want that long luxurious hair you better get your hair trimmed at least every 6-8 weeks.

Tip 3: Don’t over wash. 
Don’t over wash your hair! Many people wash their hair everyday but if you’re trying to let your hair grow this is the worst thing possible. Washing your hair strips your hair from the natural oils it needs to grow. It’s suggested that washing your hair only two or three times a week is the best route to take. If you have to, use dry shampoo products in-between washes that is fine. By letting your hair produce the natural oils that it needs it will become healthier and shinier looking.

Tip 4: Don’t brush wet hair.
Never ever brush your hair while it is wet. I know many people jump out of the shower brush their hair and leave for the day. This will cause damage to the ends or even pull your hair completely out. This is because your hair is most vulnerable when it is wet. If you have to brush your hair while it’s wet try using a wide-toothed comb or pick. This will help prevent breakage, which will encourage hair to grow. Although, the best thing to do is to wait until your hair is completely dry before brushing to prevent any damage.

Keep in mind, if you’re experiencing hair loss, never self-diagnose yourself. The best thing you can do is come in and see a hair expert and for over 15 years Transitions of Indiana has been Indiana’s most trusted name in hair restoration.

When people hear the words hair loss their first thought is usually the hair on someone’s scalp but hair loss can affect many people in many different ways. There are countless diseases, disorders, and drugs that have caused hair loss over different areas of the body.

Chemotherapy Treatments: Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medications that attack rapidly growing cancer cells. Unfortunately, these drugs will also attack other rapidly growing cells in your body like those in your hair roots. While chemotherapy drugs are most often associated with losing the hair on your scalp, these drugs may cause your eyelash, eyebrow, armpit, and other body hair to fall out as well. Chemotherapy doesn’t always guarantee hair loss and certain drugs are more likely than others to cause hair loss and different doses can cause anything from thinning hair to complete baldness. Fortunately, most of the time hair loss from chemotherapy is temporary and your hair should grow back three to six months after your treatment ends.

Alopecia Areata: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease. Normally a person’s immune system protects the body against infection and disease but when someone has an autoimmune disease their body’s immune system attacks some part of their own body. With alopecia areata the immune system attacks a person’s hair follicles, in most cases the hair will fall out in small, round quarter size patches. Some people may lose more hair and in rare cases the disease can cause someone to completely lose the hair on their head, face, and body. Anyone can have alopecia areata and while it’s currently unknown what specifically causes this disease scientists believe genetics may have something to do with it. While there is currently no cure for alopecia areata and there are no drugs approved to treat it doctors may use medicines approved for other diseases to help hair grow back. However, none of these treatments prevent new patches of hair loss or cure the disease.

Thyroid Disorders: Due to the hormones it produces, the thyroid gland influences almost all of the metabolic processes in the body. The most common thyroid problems include both an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) and an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). Proper hair growth depends on the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and abnormal levels of thyroid hormones can cause many side effects including hair loss. Having too much thyroid hormones can cause thinning hair all over the scalp and having too little thyroid hormones can cause hair loss all over the body. Once your thyroid disease is diagnosed it may take some time to get the right dosage but once you find the right prescription to help regulate your thyroid hormone levels the hair loss problem should resolve itself.

Karen, a ReAllusions® client at Transitions, shares her hair restoration journey with us.

Karen came to Transitions after completely losing her hair from chemotherapy. She now has a full head of hair and says she no longer feel self-conscious when she goes about her day to day activities. Even before chemotherapy, Karen noticed her hair starting to thin around age 18 and continued to progress into later years. In her 30’s, Karen’s hair had thinned exponentially and she only felt comfortable wearing her hair in one style. She used a headband to cover where her scalp was revealed and used lots of hair spray to make the remaining hair stay in place in order to cover her scalp. Then, at age 39, Karen was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing chemotherapy, her hair came back even thinner than before and Karen was desperate to find a solution.

Keep reading to learn more about Laser Hair Therapy and to find out if you're a candidate for this revolutionary non-surgical option.

Low Level Laser Hair Therapy is a non-surgical, safe and effective procedure that utilizes low level lasers (cool lasers) to prevent from thinning and encourage new hair to grow. There are two types of lasers, high powered lasers and low level lasers. Low level lasers— the kind that Transitions uses for Laser Hair Therapy, is a “cold” laser, therefore it doesn’t have the thermal component, making it completely painless!

Low level lasers used for Laser Hair Therapy help to increase blood circulation in the scalp. This boost in circulation helps increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the follicles, which support and promote hair growth. Some of the benefits of Laser Hair Therapy are repair and improvement of hair shaft quality, slowing or stopping the hair loss process, and relief of scalp conditions such as psoriasis and seborrhea.
