How Can I Make Hair Grow Faster?

5. Styling Tools and Product

Curling irons, straighteners, and other hot styling tools damage hair. The heat dries out hair and increases breakage during styling. Use tools that regulate heat evenly, and apply a heat protectant spray to hair during styling. Some styling tools use forced air with minimal heat to reduce hair damage. Cutting hot tools out of daily styling routines entirely is the best option for growing long, healthy hair.

Some styling products, especially harsh straighteners, destroy the hair. Straightening products and relaxants break the disulfide bonds that form curls and give hair its natural texture. Damage caused by straightening products is irreversible. Hair has to grow until the damaged portion can be trimmed away.
